MEMORY by Balala Zheng & Billy Yeung

"The first time I saw MEMORY, I instantly fell in love with it. It's not a standard piece of magic. It's a very special trick for you to create a memory with someone that is very important to you."
- Henry Harrius

"Wow! This is incredibly clever! It fooled me completely! I believe it might be a completely new idea."
- Tom Stone

"I met Balala in Hong Kong in June 2022, and he performed Memory for me. The impact of that moment is still vivid to this day. Not only were the script and presentation astonishing, but the secret behind it also completely fooled me. The elegance and intricacy of the entire routine left a lasting impression."
- Hau Jiun Hsu

Routine

Phase 1: The magician and the spectator each SIGN their names on a card printed with an hourglass.

Phase 2: Both cards are torn in half, symbolizing the sharing of each other's time.

Phase 3: The two halves of the signed cards can be perfectly MATCHED together, revealing a HEART-SHAPED pattern.

Phase 4: The magician crafts the final card into a "Polaroid Photo," which can be examined and kept by the spectator.

Concept

The hourglass represents time, and the magician and the audience tearing the card symbolize that they have shared their time with each other.

The complete reassembly of both cards signifies that this moment is a memory created together by both persons.

In the end, it is made into a "Polaroid" keepsake and given to the audience; every time they see it, they will recall this period of time.
