刘谦英文介绍(Liu Qian)

Hello ,everyone. Last Wednesday ，Mr jia introduced David coperfield to us,because I like magic very much ,today I’d like to introduce another magician to you ,you may have a guess who he is. His mantra is: next, is the witness of the miracle and he is from Taiwan. Ok now, Do you know who he is?

Liuqian is a Taiwanese magician. I believe everyone began to know him after seeing his excellent performance in the CCTV's annual Spring Festiva in 2009.Many people think that it was the show in cctv that made him famous, in fact it is not right!

Liuqian was born in 1976 ,he not only has skillful feats（技艺） but also has a handsome appearance, which attracted many pretty girls.

Liu Qian now enjoys worldwide recognition due to his feats(技艺) on both stage and TV magic shows. he is the only magician in Taiwan who has been invited to do shows in Las Vegas and Hollywood, two of the best magic show venues in the United States. He has staged shows in many countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK. Of course, he has won a lot of awards in the world. As a seasoned magician, Liu Qian has a unique understanding of showmanship.

"It is actually thinking, rather than skills, that plays a strong part in achieving a successful magic show. We should think how to design the show in a more creative way, to make it appear more intriguing. We should attach much importance to enhancing our prowess in art in general and our performing skills." From hxw.red.

Liu Qian's success can be traced back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, Liu Qian found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was 7 years old. From that point on, there was no stopping in his passion for magic. His efforts first led him to fame at the age of 12, when he won Taiwan's Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by world magic master David Copperfield. 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."

Yet, despite his evident potential, Liu Qian did not plan on becoming a professional magician. He chose to study Japanese in Soochow University, and thought he would go on to work in a corporation, performing as an amateur magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a satisfactory job after graduation pushed him to take up magic as a career. He made up his mind with the encouragement of his parents, who were wise enough to ignore social prejudices toward magic shows as unstable and foolish work.

Liu Qian's venture into professional magic proved fruitful. He stood out in many contests and conventions, and took first place in the international World Magic Seminar Asia in 2003. The increase in fame brought him more show invitations and more applause. Not content with his success on stage, Liu Qian expanded his career into TV. He began hosting a TV programme named "Magic Star"(魔星高照) on China's Star TV in 2001, and his amusing performances quickly made the program the most popular one on Star TV.
