Description

You may have met a person who is a magician or a lecturer, but what about an entertaining educator who is doing both? Ross made it happen.  In this episode, I got to listen to his whole journey and the joys and struggles of his magician life.


But more than that, I believe his story is relatable to many of you, especially if you are from an Asian background:



  • When his parents stopped supporting his hobby because it is unrealistic to make it as a future career, Ross didn’t give up. Instead,  he kept going and became a magician in the end.

  • How he challenged himself in magic performance.

  • His understanding of finding your purpose in life


Also, you can watch his zoom magic tricks during our chat from here: https://youtu.be/cC6qOnc4zCM. Enjoy!
