JIN-LEE PRESENTS: "Battle Of Wits"

Firstly i must give credit to Rene Lavand, as this is his routine "El Cumanes". The story is mine.

This performance of my storytelling piece really defined my style as an artist, as a card magician and represents the many years as a lover of the Art of Magic.

The story behind this piece is about my time in Hong Kong, the place i truly call home. There is some fiction to the truth, some truth to the fiction.

Hong Kong, especially a place called Temple Street, really has stolen my heart. Over the years whenever I go back to visit HK, i would always spend many nights in this massive market place district. During the daytime the place is a normal place of hustle and bustle, yet when darkness descends and the nightlife comes, this place truly comes alive.

A place that gets taken over by market stores selling all sorts of wares, fortune tellers, chess hustlers, porn shops, prostitutes, homeless people, street peoples, the Triad, hustlers, as well as tourists. This place truly becomes magical.

Not to mention the amount of local grass roots eateries that add to the hustle and bustle. Hot pots. Street BBQs. Kareokes bars. Street performances. I miss this place so much. I close my eyes and can bring up all the sounds, the smells, the images of the people...everything and everything.

This story is set at this place, with outcasts such as myself.

I hope you do enjoy this performance!
