Semarang Magic Community magicians received an honor to present magic shows for children with disabilities during the third anniversary of Semarang Kids Community(Komunitas Cah Semarang: KCS). The event took place on the 11th of February 2012, Saturday in Wisma Bhakti building at The Counseling Foundation for Children with Disabilities (YPAC) in Semarang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia.

The first magician to cast a spell was Aditya Agunk. His magic mishaps drew laughters and wonders on the children. Aditya Agunk placed a tissue paper into an empty metallic pot. He burnt the tissue paper while holding the pot. The pot got too hot for him to hold. Children laughed as he panicked. He quickly closed the flaming pot. Then, he said a few magic words. Finally, he opened the pot lid to reveal a potfull of candies to be distributed for the children. Children enjoyed the candies while wondering what just happened. 

Daniel was the next amazing magician to perform. He too performed a comedy magicfor the children. Daniel teased them with an egg that magically appear and disappear. He taught a rope magic to the MC. Magic did not happen despite the MC's effort to imitate Daniel's movements. More surprises from Daniel's hands came up instead. Children laughed at this magical moment.

Ferdian Rahardjo elegantly closed the magic show with a classic magic routine. He performed magic cane productions and colorful silk magic. Ferdian Rahardjo also magically transformed green beans into water. Ferdian Rahardjo is a junior high school student, which makes him the youngest member of Semarang Magic Community.Semarang Magic Community encourages and provides opportunities for youngmagicians to perform magic shows. Thus, preparing for future great Indonesian magicians.

Semarang Magic Community is thankful for Semarang Kids Community and YPAC for the opportunity and assistance. Last but not least, many thanks to dr. Harry Prayogowho has prepared the magicians and their logistic supports.

Semarang Magic Community is happy and proud to entertain general public withmagic shows. Semarang Magic Community presents the Garuda Merlion Magic Convention in Semarang on the 11th of April 2012 up to the 13th of April 2012. This event is arranged by Semarang Magic Community and Singapore International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) Ring 115 (The Great Wong Ring). This will be a great opportunity for magicians and general public to learn magic, see great magic shows, purchase excellent quality magic show properties, and more importantly, make close friendship with Singaporean magicians.
