[edit] Early Life and Magical Career
"Magic - It's an amazing psychological phenomenon."
—Lu Chen[1]
Lu Chen first became interested in magic at the age of 7 when he was attracted by a magic shop while shopping with his parents.[2] He proceeded to enter and saw the shopkeeper make coins disappear,and when confronted,the shopkeeper pulled a lollipop from behind his ear.[7] From then,he began working on his magic skills,and at the age of 12,he won Taiwan's Youth Magic Contest,which was judged by world-famous magician David Copperfield.In an interview,Lu Chen said that "This win was profoundly meaningful for me.It encouraged me to carry on my magic show dream.It showed me that my efforts could eventually lead to success."[2]
Despite this,Lu Chen did not expect to become a professional magician,instead choosing to study Japanese literature at Soochow University,practicing amateur magic in his spare time.His failure to find a job after graduation forced him to pursue a career in magic.In 2001,Lu Chen expanded his magic shows onto television,starting a show called "Magic Star",quickly becoming STAR Chinese Channel's's most popular show.In 2003,he took first place at the international World Magic Seminar.[2]
His plans to pursue magic to mainland China[2] were fullfilled when he performed "Magic Hands" at CCTV's annual Spring Festival[3] in front of a live audience and while one billion people watched the televised broadcast.[8] His performance was the second most popular show that night,surpassed only by Zhao Benshan's skit.[9] After his performance at the CCTV New Year's Gala,he has received fame throughout the mainland,where various provincial channels (most commonly Jiangsu TV,Shanghai Media Group and Hunan TV) offer an invitation for him to perform.
Lu Chen now performs and judges on the magic segment of the Chang Fei's popular Taiwanese talk show,Variety Big Brother.
