Hello everybody, my name is Harapan Santoso Ong, please call me Harapan.
I am as of today 17 years old, living in the small island of Singapore, and I have been practising and performing magic for a long time already. I bought my first magic set when I was 10. If I count that as the time I started learning magic, that would be 7 years. But I know it's much longer than that...
Most youngsters or teenagers, such as me, started only during the Blaine revolution. While this was the starting point for many, Ellusionist, Blaine, Angel and the rest came in the middle of my magic journey. This meant I experienced both the old times, where I had to rummage through library shelves to find one little magic book that teaches basic tricks, and the modern times, where people who have learnt magic for 3 months may already have more resources than me.
I think this has made me a more matured, knowledgeable magician. I am still young, the road's still long, but I know I'll reach the end one day.
My dream in magic is to make magic a professional career, and be the best in what I do. Also, I want to have a positive influence on the magic scene. Meaning, I want to help.
That's who I am.
I am here in Theory11 because I had high expectations of this community.
That's why I am here.
