Goodbye Magic

This is a sad farewell especially for me.
Like everything that has beginning, there will be time for its ending. Very soon, I will resign from Magic.

After more than 30 years in the art of Magic, this is not an easy decision to make. But I have to. I have shared my thought to resign to my closest friends but this is the first time I am announcing it to the public.

A few celebrities announced their resignation for sensation. Singers said they quit singing only to get back to it not long after. That is a cheap sensation. Mine is not going to be like that. I am not looking for a SENSATION. Resigning from Magic is my final DECISION.

So what does that entail for? It means I have to cancel THREE television contracts and NINETEEN off-air shows; pre-scheduled for 2016.

The industry consider me to be at the top rank; the most wanted, the most famous in Indonesia, and most expensive in Asia. It is exactly while I am at the top like this, I would like to Stop.... and bid my Goodbye. It is not an easy decision.. But here are my explanation...

1. Being a Magician is not easy. It needs a lot of concentration and dedication.. I had to practice everyday.. Sometimes I practiced day and night for just one new trick. It is time consuming too because every detail count.. At my age, I prefer to spend quality time with my Son.. He is my Magic. My Real Magic. He deserves my time more than my Art. I love him more than anything.

2. As long as I still do Magic, the growth of young magicians will be stunted and their career can not bloom to meet its fullest. The television industry look for me. High-profile clients book me. The news and entertaintment write posts about me.. MASTER DEDDY CORBUZIER - they say.. The new comers do not get the opportunity while I am here. It is time for the young magicians to showcase their talent. And if you are one, I will support you as much as I can.

3. I have many passion in my life.. Magic is only one of them.. Do you know that I love to cook?

I also practice three types of Martial Arts. I have world record for knives throwing, I love to write books and I taught acting and theater before.. I still have more to mention. Some of them got buried and forgotten... It is time now to reunite with the rest of my passion.

Magic has seen me through my success and achievements. I am proud to say that I am
- Master Mentalist
- Twice Merlin Award Winner for The World Best Mentalist
- The First Asian Magician to receive honourable award from The SOCIETY OF AMERICAN MAGICIAN

I have appeared in countless of television shows since 1998 to date. Life is so FUN with Magic and it has given a fame to my name. To think about it, I the boy who once lived in hardships now have grown to be a man who can have anything he wants.

I am Magic and I will always be. But at the same time, it is time to sail the unchartered water.

So..
Soon I will be performing in my Last Show which also will be aired on TV. I will keep update on the details and I hope everyone will be watching.

Once that done.. I'm off.
I will lay down my Magic hat and stick and keep the beautiful memories deep within.

Being a magician at heart, I might still do a show or two when I feel like it. Or maybe on a special event that has impact on world peace

I might also coach the young magicians, judge competitions or others.

One thing for sure, Magic will not be my main career anymore. I will only do it for fun. I will do it when I want to do it.

Magic will always be in my Blood. Magic has made me what I am now.. And I owe it to you too, my Fans.. my supporters.. You have stayed with me for more than 25 years... Thank you so much.

For now.. Please wish me for a chance to find other forms of Magic in my life.
Thank you once again for the support.

I Love u all.

1. menjadi seorang penyihir tidak mudah. Dibutuhkan banyak konsentrasi dan dedikasi. saya harus berlatih sehari-hari. Kadang-kadang saya berlatih di malam hari untuk hanya satu trik baru. Itu juga memakan waktu karena menghitung setiap detail. Pada usia saya, saya lebih memilih untuk menghabiskan waktu berkualitas dengan anak saya. Dia adalah Magic saya, magic yang nyata. Dia layak mendapatkan waktu saya lebih dari apapun. Aku mencintainya lebih dari apa pun.

2. selama saya masih berdebut di dunia sulap, pertumbuhan para pesulap muda akan terhambat dan karir mereka tidak dapat mekar sepenuhnya. Industri televisi mencari saya. High profil klien memesan saya. Berita dan entertaintment menulis posting tentang saya... MASTER DEDDY CORBUZIER - yang mereka katakan. Pendatang baru tersebut tidak mendapatkan kesempatan sementara saya masih di sini. Sudah waktunya bagi para pesulap muda untuk menampilkan bakat mereka. Dan jika Anda adalah satu dari pesulap muda, saya akan mendukung Anda sebanyak yang saya bisa.

3. saya memiliki banyak passion dalam hidupku. Magic adalah hanya salah satu dari mereka. Apakah Anda tahu bahwa saya suka memasak?
Saya juga berlatih tiga jenis seni bela diri. Saya memiliki rekor dunia untuk Pisau Lempar, saya suka menulis buku dan saya mengajar akting dan theater sebelumnya. Aku masih memiliki lebih banyak lagi. Beberapa dari mereka terkubur dan terlupakan Saatnya sekarang untuk melakukannya lagi dengan sisa passion yang ada.
