Ed Kwon, a Korean magician based in the United States, had a special show Tuesday at the residence of Singapore's envoy to Seoul.
Kwon, 24, who has a Ph.D in magical performance art, put on a fantastic show in front of Singapore's Ambassador to South Korea Eric Teo, Moroccan Ambassador Chafik Rachadi and other guests.
The event was organized by ― and part of ― the Corea Image Communication Institute's (CICI) Korea CQ forum.
Kwon, whose performance has been praised by prominent magician David Copperfield, is one of the country's emerging stars. He is best known for his 2017 performance at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles ― Hollywood's world-renowned magicians' clubhouse.
