Zlwin Chew: Sleight of Hand Artist / Mentalist
What is Magic? Is magic an illusion?
A mere trick of the mind? Or just a sleight of hand?
To return to innocence, when the world was magical, when logic gave way to wonder - this is Magic.
Your mind, my stage.
It's funny, the older we grow, the more we know. We lose our ability to feel amazed, to feel the joy of childlike awe.
There are no tricks in magic, only wonder.
Zlwin Chew
is a well known practitioner of the art magic and mentalism. Since his early childhood he has been fascinated by mysteries and magic, always trying to comprehend how they happen. Few years back, he joined a magic club and was exposed to a whole new world of magic and performing art.
He then ventured further down the magical path and the love for the art of prestidigitation never left him.
When we were young and innocent, everything around us seemed magical. We awed at the rising of the sun and the chirping birds. We were amazed at how the television works and how an airplane could fly. As we grow older, however, we start to understand how things work and logic sets in. We then lose our ability to feel amazed at things. But Magic has the power to bring back that childhood moment in every one of us, where we can once again be amazed and genuinely exclaim, “Wow! How did you do that?!”
This would be the firewood that fuels Zlwin’s passion and love for this beautiful Art.
Zlwin has met and performed to some of the country's most reknown people. Some of them include:
Being radical and fresh is in his blood. He likes to do things out of the ordinary and walk on unchartered territories. Zlwin currently works for Kuala Lumpur's most prestigious and recognized club, Zouk Club KL, as their Resident Magician. He came into the club scene bringing magic - a whole new and radical idea in Malaysia. For 18 months, Zouk Club KL became the only club that has a Resident Magician working in its premises. Other clubs are now working their way to hire other magicians to work for them. Being familiar with the clubbing environment, he is able to incorporate magic very well into his stints at night. Performing magic in crowded areas with low lightings and very loud music is no stranger to Zlwin. With his signature Zouk Magic, he is able to capture his audience's attention quickly and blow them off with his effects - leaving them with a clubbing experience they will never forget.
In January 2011, Zlwin performed at India's TECHFEST 2011. Braving the stage in front of an audience of more than 20, 000 people, Zlwin made his debut show at India. Techfest: Asia's Largest Science and Technology Festival is held annually at Mumbai and draws forward more than 70, 000 people each year.
