The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

About Nigel:

Nigel is a life sciences major studying in NUS who first started venturing into mentalism at the age of 15 and shortly after, into magic. Now as one of the co-founders of NUS Magic, Nigel mentors up-and-coming magicians in NUS. Outside of NUS, Nigel performs professionally for weddings, birthday parties, company dinners and other events.

During the talk, he will discuss about the art and science of magic and the potential of the industry in Singapore, including topics such as:

-Types of magic

-Magic and creativity

How magic works

-Common misconceptions about magic

-Magic show business in Singapore

-Ethics in magic and mentalism
