Spread the Magic.; 9:11:00 PM
As I stood at the roadside, waiting for that usual bus to pick me up to my destination, I was just in my plain t-shirt, shorts, and my sneakers, with my messy hair undone. I am easily hidden in this city, where city dwellers were buzzing around and tonnes of teenagers my age were shouting at the top of their voices, as if the cars weren't making enough noises.

But I wasn't part of the city. I was indulging in my own world. My magical world full of illusions. In my hands lie an army of 52 cards, and with the skillful play of my nimble yet powerful fingers, this very army comes to life. My fingers and this deck of poker cards had formed this chemistry and synchronization that together, they create a fantastic piece of choreography. This unbreakable bond had also created illusions and what seemed magic to countless spectators, leaving them smiling, and at some cases, clapping. In my hands, this pack of playing cards showcased a certain level of grace, skill and effect. With every cut, every riffle, every shuffle and every revelation of cards had proved that this is a formidable yet versatile weapon to demonstrate to any spectator, be it on the streets, parties or even gatherings.

In card magic, what I aim for is to achieve what seemed impossible to do just by looking at it, and melt the boundaries between what is possible and what's not. I'll enter the impossibility someday. Conjuring cards from thin airs, make cards change in a snap, produce cards at impossible places and making cards morph into another are some of the tricks that I could easily achieve and commonly do, and card magic is just about that.

On the streets, as I am taking a pack of playing cards out of its case, numerous pairs of eyes would be appreciating. Children screaming " MUMMY , WATCH THIS KORKOR DO MAGIC ! " and making adults feel amazed like they were a child. I love this attention, this joy of entertaining. This passion flows through my veins, this joy lives within me. Step by step, I am entering gradually into the global stage, where that spotlight was previously on famous magicians like Houdini, David Copperfield, David Blaine, and even Liu Qian. Someday, I shall fulfill that dream.

Hmm, my bus has arrived to pick me up to my next destination. My next place to spread the magic. I believe I can.
