Nris Magic Show – Hua Hin, Thailand

A couple of weekends ago, we took a break from our normal routine and went over to see the Nris show (a Thai illusionist). It was located at the Hua Hin Thailand Hilton Hotel & Resort. The show was very good with the ’small but mighty’ audience being entertained immensely. We also found him to be a very nice guy and he was very gracious to both myself and my guests during and after the show.

You even get free refreshments & popcorn with the ticket price!

A video is played a few minutes before the show. It shows some of his national tv appearances on Thai television…

An interesting touch – There is a tip box as you leave the theatre!

We always try and support the magic scene in Thailand and were happy to attend the show of Nris and company. The show includes small magic, audience participation, some in-house built magic, hand puppet shadows and even a motorcycle production. The day we saw him it as in the smaller showroom, due to the reduced audience size. When there is a hundred or more people it is moved into the larger convention hall. When there it includes bigger scale illusions with a helicopter production. I hope to make it back to see it sometime. The current contract runs until September. Good job Nris!

Only An American…

Only a silly American tourist would pose for a pic like this. In the middle of the Bangkok protests, with people getting wounded and killed, this lady (I use the term loosely) poses with the awaiting Thai Army troops.

The older I get the more I amazed by the actions of people. Well, whatever…

Yes we heard your requests! Finally have a chance to share a few pics from our performances last February in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The performances took place at Setia Tropika Johor (February 27th) & Setia Eco Gardens (February 28th). We shipped a full container full of magic, illusions and special effects, as well as brought the full crew. But it was worth it and the audience seemed to enjoy it.

The photographer we hired was not too great but at least we have some shots of the shows. Our Malaysian friend Alex is forwarding some even better pics in the near future. When we get them we will post some off those, as well…

The full gallery of pics from these performances is available over at our Facebook page.
