The
Magic of Jade
The
exotic allure of Jade's magic stems from her Chinese heritage
and her childhood on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The
diminutive charmer took the male-dominated world of magic
by storm in 1990, when she won both first place in the International
Brotherhood of Magicians' World Magic Competition and was
given the organization's coveted Gold Medal of Magic,
a prize awarded only a handful of times in the competition's
20-year history. To date, she remains the sole woman to receive
this honor.
The
renown from her win propelled Jade into appearances on foreign
and national television. She has performed on the stages of
variety theaters in Europe and Canada; luxury cruise lines
like American Hawaii and Holland America; and casino revue
shows in Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Biloxi, and Las Vegas.
Corporate clients include Hewlett Packard, Apple
Computer, General Electric, and Sony.
In
1994, the Royal Family of Monaco invited Jade to perform
at the Princess Grace Theater in Monte Carlo, an honor she
considers a highlight of her career. In 1999, France's Minister
of Defense personally presented her the Golden Mandrake
Award, France's most prestigious magic honor, at a special
awards ceremony in Paris. In 2000, the International Magicians
Society recognized Jade as "Best Female Magician of the
Year" awards ceremony video-taped in Las Vegas, soon to
be a major network television special.
Jade's fluency in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English has proven
a bonus in her travels and engagements, allowing her to exchange
illusionary techniques with other master magicians throughout
the globe. As Jade's repertoire and talents expand and become
even more diverse, the extraordinary beauty and grace of her
enchanting performances will continue to enrapture audiences
around the world! |
