Daily ChioBu: Magic Babe Ning

Posted by singaporedaily on 10th July 2009

‘Magic Babe’ Ning Cai (born 16 October 1982) is a Singaporean magician. She is widely recognised as “Singapore’s Only Professional Female Magician”. Ning’s first contact with magic was when she was 5 years old and watched David Copperfield on TV. Her interest was revived in 2004 when she was involved with charity work for the Children’s Cancer Foundation and performed magic at their events. In 2006, she joined a local magic competition and came in 3rd place. This led her to join J C Sum’s magic production house as a performer. Ning is best known for successfully attempting South East Asia’s first ever mega escape from “The Impalement Cage” in July 2008, and performing the “The Impossible Record” with J C Sum in June 2009.

Ning currently stars in “Ultimate Magic”, Singapore’s first daily permanent illusion show at The Arena in Clarke Quay. Pictures after the break.
