This stellar show features the lovely Melody Choi, 5, as the young Princess of Magic. Melody started her magic assisting career at only 3 years old, and already her well spoken intelligent personality, wonderful stage presence and captivating charisma has earned her roles on World Magic Champion Juliana Chen’s magic spectacular, on live Breakfast TV and as a CBC Kids Across Canada spokesperson. Melody’s uncanny ability to delight the audience with her natural allure and idol-like quality has been recognized by the Society of American Magicians #95 in their presentation to her of their Lotti Hemeon Trophy for Best Magic Assistant of the year – a coveted award normally only going to the best of the best professional adult assistants.
