If you had your Sunday cuppa in front of the tv on 21 May, you would have caught your favourite magicians, Lawrence and Priscilla, on air discussing their July opening of Magicbox on Primetime Morning.
This is the best sneak peek of the big-scale illusions that Lawrence and Priscilla will be introducing on the new show. Primetime captured a feat involving an awesome ventilation fan with mean blades. Stick a pole in there and watch the pulp fly. Priscilla demonstrated how she was able to navigate those knife-like blades unscathed. Well, she did not demonstrate it, she just did it and left you wondering how she did it!
Then there was a flaming box thingummy and an impalement act with wickedly hot torches. Ooh, the teasers just leave the audience panting for more.
The interviews were okay. Hosts Steven Chia and Joanne Leow asked Lawrence and Priscilla about their characters’ connection vis a vis their real-life relationship as father and daughter. Magic choreographer Joanie Spina was present to give her take on the specialised routines needed for a large-scale theatre production like Magicbox.
But the highlight had to be towards the middle of the 30-minute interview when Lawrence showed what he was capable of. He stumped Steven and Joanne with a variation of the classic cups and balls. Joanne was literally speechless and Steven had to jump in with some philosophy on different paradigms about magic. *hee*
They were more prepared when it came to Priscilla’s turn. She did a sleight of hand turning a two dollar bill into a ten dollar note.
All in all, this is rare footage which helps fans of the magician duo to know them a little better.
