See The World's Greatest Magic Show This Christmas

If you were like most kids fascinated with just toys or candies, I was intrigued by magic, illusion, witchcraft when I was young. I was a Harry Houdini fan, amazed by how he thrilled audiences with dazzling illusions and death-defying stunts such as the “milk can escape” and the “Chinese Water Torture Cell.”  His life and the mysteries surrounding him excites me after seeing an article published from a magazine my dad used to collect. He had a library of Reader's Digest at our old house in Manila by the way.
Since I was a strong-willed child, I even obtained my own magic stuff after begging him nonstop to buy me those for months. Because once a persistent kid is hooked on something, it's something that kid wants to do, over and over again. It did not last that long though.

I didn't know the answer to blogger Rain's question whether or not magic is real, but I do know that it is more than entertainment. Some may say it's real, but it's dark and should be avoided because the bible tells so. But really, only you can decide for yourself whether you believe in magic. The only real magic I know is love.

According to magician and magic designer, Ben Hart, who is recognized for his unique and original approach to performance - to make yourself a believable magician, you have to be very interested in your work. Curiosity is the best trait a magician needs to have that will climb him up a step on the magical ladder. You have to have a relationship with mystery. You have to know the answers but you should be prepared to accept the fact that there aren't always answers to life.
Nowadays, people are interested in the secrets and the knowledge of magic that they forget how it is to be just the audience experiencing mystery.

If you want to be part of the audience and experience a one-of-a-kind mystery, start saving now for December as Wilbros Live is bringing the World's Greatest Magic Show Over to Manila featuring the world renowned magicians and illusionists.
