Zlwin Chew is a well known practitioner of the art magic and mentalism. Since his early childhood he has been
fascinated by mysteries and magic, always trying to comprehend how they happen. Few years back, he joined a
magic club and was exposed to a whole new world of magic and performing art.
He then ventured further down the magical path. The love for the art of prestidigitation never left him.
When we were young and innocent, everything around us seemed magical. We awed at the rising of the sun and
the chirping birds. We were amazed at how the television works and how airplanes fly. As we grow older,
however, we start to understand how things work and logic sets in. We then lose our ability to feel amazed at
things. But Magic has the power to bring back that childhood moment in every one of us, where we can once
again be amazed and genuinely exclaim, “Wow! How did you do that?!”
This would be the firewood that fuels Zlwin’s passion and love for this beautiful Art.

Being radical and fresh is in his blood. He likes to do
things out of the ordinary and walk on unchartered
territories. Zlwin currently works for Kuala Lumpur's
most prestigious and recognized club, Zouk KL, as
their Resident Magician. He came into the club scene
bringing magic - a whole new and radical idea in
Malaysia. Until today, Zouk Club KL is the only club
in Malaysia to have a Resident Magician in its premises.
Being familiar with the clubbing environment, he is
able to incorporate magic very well into his stints at
night. Performing magic in crowded areas with low
lightings and very loud music is no stranger to Zlwin.
With his signature Zouk Magic, he is able to capture
his audience's attention quickly and blow them off with
his effects - leaving them with a clubbing experience
they will never forget.

Zlwin specializes in Mentalism, a sub-division of
Magic. Blurring the lines between reality and
imagination, the Mentalist creates illusions of mind
reading, precognition, telepathy and psychokinetic
power. Being a Mentalist, his stage repertoire
showcases a full mentalism show in which he is seen
to be able to guess correctly a random word a
spectator is thinking of, to impossibly bend metal, to
break light bulbs by just staring at them and to
accurately predict things, among many other feats.

Magic is something that seems like it goes against how the world works and it is us magicians who have the
privilege to demonstrate it.
There are no tricks in magic, only wonder.
Copyright © Zlwin Magic 2012
Magic is not contained in the tricks or illusions. It is in the smile and laughter of an individual thinking, for a
brief moment - that anything is possible.
Copyright © Zlwin Magic 2012
Think, for a moment, about what makes magic special. A coin disappears, and for a split second, we're children
again. It isn't a magician's skills or top hat that captivates people: it is the moment of true astonishment. Most
moments of true astonishment are brief intervals right after an effect ends and before our rational adult minds
apply logic.
In the split second between these processes: a moment of childlike wonder.
