EVENTS: The Magikerong Pilipino 2011 Grand Finals!

Last January 5, 2012, I was invited to the presscon of the The Search for Magikrong Pilipino 2011 that was held at RAZZZO BISTRO and RESTAURANT in BF Homes Paranaque.

Prior to that, me and the other bloggers just had our resto review at TEACUP located in Q.C so I was a bit dizzy when we came at the presscon because the location is quite far. But all the dizziness disappeared when JB DELA CRUZ (Corporate Magician and member of Illusive group of Magicians; seen him also on other events and KSM PRODUCTIONS presented to us the 12 contenders. Aside from their skills in magic , they also were able to made us laugh.

The Illusive group and KSM PRODUCTIONS is the first to hold the climactic finale of the first ever search for best " Open-Stage " magician in the Philippines. The search has started since last 2010.

The search was made nation wide so that they may able to help other magicians who are based in luzon and visayas region and yet very talented in their craft.

This yearly search will not be possible with the unwavering support of the Illusive group members:

• JB DELA CRUZ - Main Host
• Ron Mariano - Stage Director
• Aldino - Official Board Manager
• Marlon Bibo - Backstage Director 
• Nap Bargas Perez- Consultant/Primary Judge

I am so proud of the organizers of these search because they were so generous of their time and means just to help fellow magicians to be known and recognized of their efforts in Magic. As we all know, Magic is not an easy talent. It requires more time, effort and dedication just to practice an act. And  doing so they are able to showcase their talent and makes us proud that every PINOY has that extaordinary talent.

So what are we waiting for let us troop to PAGCOR GRAND THEATRE on January 20,2012 7pm  and watch the Grand Finals night. The ticket proceeds of these event will partly go to U HAPPY EVENTS FOUNDATION where Host/Magician JB DELA CRUZ helps too. Tickets are priced at Php200/300/500. Not a bad price though ! Be entertained and watch amazing pinoy talent as well!


The event will not be possible with their generous sponsors like : PAGCOR, DIVI MAGIC SHOP, VIRGINIA FOODS, GBX, MOSSIMO, EVER BILENA, BLACKWATER, SHAN SHI MI, ANROX, RAZZO PIZZA, SONY PHILIPPINES, SKECHERS KIDS, MANG INASAL, FESTIVAL SUPERMALLS, STA.LUCIA EAST MALL, MAMONLUK RESTAURANT, PCARI SWEAT, LILY'S PEANUT BUTTER, ANTON LIM, ROVINA ONG'S Family and UNILAB,
