最近日本著名的魔術酒吧/魔術店 French Drop 開始了售賣我們的作品:

Philosopher's Stone , Killer Badge, Color Fusion 

而介紹我的方式則是:

"中國魔術界的旗手"

"開拓了香港魔術界版圖的男人"

我看著這兩句評語不禁又想起 Dan & Dave 去年來香港在他們的講座上說:

"郝赫是亞洲最強的紙牌魔術師"

再加上中國內地﹐台灣以至於整個華人魔術圈對我一直以來的稱號:

"牌神"

回想起這一年多以來的許多挫折和起跌, 到了現在這一刻終於有點苦盡甘來的感覺。當初這個工作室剛成立的時候, 我們都把目標設定為:

製作出亞洲最頂級的魔術教學光碟與魔術作品

而 Philosopher's Stone 與 Color Fusion 的製作水準都得到了國際上的認可,

當然, 好的作品也代表著更為高額的投資和更多的後期製作時間。有時候, 看見一些製作水準和設計惡劣(其實根本連惡劣也談不上), 內容又諸多抄襲的魔術光碟照樣大賣, 再加上猖狂的盜版之類的, 也不禁會感到有點兒氣餒...此外, 還有不少人向我們潑冷水, 放暗箭...

《一個魔術的誕生》是一部只會在中國大陸地區發表的小作品,預計2010年 3月出版﹐具體出版日期和價格待定, 字數在10,000字之內,

 作品教授了一個必須用普通話, 而且只能在中國表演的魔術。看起來像是日記又或者是小說, 但基於真人真事, 記載了主人公從2002年首次看到這個魔術的前身到在2009年這段期間對於這個魔術的思考,創意,修改等過程。

I have been doing lectures for a couple of years by now, my first lecture/seminar was on Magic & Creativity which I delivered at the School of MultiMedia at City University back then when I was still a year 2 student at law school, I have done nearly 50 lectures to magicians teaching and sharing my thoughts as well as discoveries in card magic in the last 6 years. However, this morning (precisely speaking, yesterday morning, 10 A.M. 20/11/2009), for the first time in my life, I did a motivational speech with magic, it's an absolutely unique and pleasing experience.

It gives me the great pleasure to be one of the guest performers and lecturers on 2009 AMA [Asian Magic Association] Covention which is going to take place on 26th-29th this month in JiangSu. This is the first time on the AMA history that a Chinese magician is being invited to give a lecture and this is also going to be the 50th magic lecture that I will be ever given.

Not just another day in this somewhat unfulfilling (or yet to be fulfilled?) Nov. for me, it's an absolute serendipity to find out the new blog of my official site actually kick start at Nov. 11^th 11pm 11:11, well...more or less...

My last english blog update was on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 @ blogger, it was about the release of Philosopher's Stone Double DVD set, the first product produced by my studio. Coincidentally, my last chinese blog update was on 5 March this year talking about the hilarious comments made by Nash Fung on Scientology during the filming of his incredible Color Fusion -The Real Work. (hmm... that sounds very work driven even to me)
