Hi there, I chanced upon this forum and saw that you guys were
talking about Magic Hall.
I would like to share my personal experience with you all.
I first started going to Magic Hall in late 2007. The shop was
very impressive, fully stocked up decorated in such a way that
truly represented the term 'Magic Shop'.
I spend quite an amount of time there, hanging out and bringing
my friends there.
The owner, Kenneth is a nice guy. However, the other guy,
Solomon is nothing close.
He will always express his unhappiness indirectly but very
obvious when me and my friends hang out too much in the shop.
Come on man, we were spending huge amounts on their props and
DVDs. At least give us a bit of patience.
Selling was the only thing on his mind. Once the sale has been
made, he'll treat you like rubbish.
I remembered he treated me like a king when I attended his
personal magic course. For S$450, he told me that I will get to
master almost all the key moves needed to execute the majority of
close-up magic tricks.
He came to my place to teach and it was a 4 hour session and I
would have to say that his skills indeed impressed me at that
time.
I was a beginner and I knew zero about magic. When I became more
versed in the art, I realised that he had been teaching me
nonsensical tricks.
Tricks that can be learnt either from youtube or from bookworm
kids' books.
Solomon is an extremely dishonest person.
I'm sorry to say this, but he totally destroyed the reputation
of magic hall.
I didn't know about their piracy until now. I guess I've been
cheated more than once now.
But I'm not a customer of their's anymore.
I keep reminding myself that as long as Solomon is still working
in Magic Hall, neither me nor any of my friends will ever enter the
place again.
