ILLUSIONIST BRIAN GU
Title: ILLUSION THAT INSPIRES AND BLOWS MINDS
Description: Illusions will capture your attention and it will encourage you with a meaningful message.
Bio: A member of Mensa Philippines, Brian Gu believes that illusion is not only effective in capturing people’s attention, but also in inspiring and conveying meaningful messages.
Brian’s desire for mastering illusions started as a simple hobby when he was in high school.
Brian further nurtured this passion for the craft when he became a math teacher. Unsurprisingly he turned out to be hugely popular with his students for combining his lessons with seemingly impossible mind-blowing tricks to ignite their love for learning and make them want more.
Brian often also takes his illusion performances to the stage in front of audiences during school activities, social gatherings, and other occasions.
