MERLIN AWARD PRESENTED TO MAGIC DUO

Over the years, J C Sum & ‘Magic Babe’ Ning have been recognized with various awards in magic. Now they can add to that list the Merlin, presented by the International Magicians Society. Ning & Sum are the first Singapore illusionists to receive a Merlin Award which will be presented in 2009 in the category of "Most Original Illusionist” and "Most Original Female Illusionist."  Unlike a competition award that one wins by performing better than a specific group of magicians on a particular day, the coveted Merlin Award is only presented to magicians who excel in their field based on a proven track record over a period of time. Past Merlin Award winners include David Copperfield, Criss Angel, Siegfried & Roy and Penn & Teller. The awards will be presented to J C & Ning in person by Mr Tony Hassini, World President Chairman/ CEO of the International Magicians Society in an exclusive show and awards presentation in Oct 2009.
