I brought my two kids along since they're still at that age where they're enthralled with magicians. We got VIP passes! :DTwelve magicians were competing that night, and each one would be given a maximum of eight (8) minutes for his act. Extending beyond that time frame would result in score penalties.
I was given a scoring sheet along with my fellow judges. There were five of us judging, three were from the magic industry which included the popular magician Jeffrey Tam -- who has won several international magic competitions. The other two represented lay people, and I was one of them. You can watch a sample of Jeffrey Tam's performance HERE.
Flash photography and video recording of the magicians' acts were not allowed, and so I could only take photos of the acrobatic couple who performed during the intermission. They were good... no, scratch that, they were fantastic. I wish I took a video, because this photo doesn't even begin to show a fraction of their incredible routine.
A total of 10 magicians performed that night. Two could not make it on time and were disqualified. I took a photo of the 1st Kadabra Cup champ Ferdie Capito (above left) and Jeffrey Tam (above right). I knew he'd win, his quick change routines garnered lots of oohs and aahs from the audience and he was the only one who did them. Everyone else was doing a whole lot of wands and scarves.
