If you don't know, Lu Chen is one of the most widely-watched magicians in the world. He has been seen by a billion people on Chinese TV. BILLION.

Lu Chen videos can be seen on my site www.petebiro.com
The thrill for me is that his act uses three or four of the effects I created. He also uses Dean Dill's coin routines.

Glad to have found the link to the article, I was just watching some of Mr. Lu's work (I'm assuming that's the surname based on what little I've heard third-hand about Asian naming), and was about to post a "Who is this Lu Chen guy?"

The work is phenomenal...simple, clear, impossible plots handled beautifully with terrific staging and a warm, engaging personality that shines through the language barrier...all of the little touches -- pitch perfect music selection, great movement, great eye for material that generates buzz....he reminds me of a young Copperfield...

Lu Chen is quite a popular figure in China. Having just returned from shows in several major cities in China I must say his name was mentioned in just about every conversation I had with TV hosts, newscaster and laymen! I'm not sure about him performing at the WMS teen show however. I do know he won a prize at the WMS in Japan. This is hosted by UGM and is the Asia WMS ... an awesome convention. While I was in Asia, Lu Chen has been in Canada doing shows at the River Rock Casino in BC ...
