It's been a while (again) since the last time I wrote here.
I have loads of things to share in my mind, mostly about the upside down of life, but maybe I'll forget most of them when I write this. lol.
Now I'm going to tell you about the up and down of the Indonesian Card Artist (I.C.A.), a card flourish community in Indonesia and the only community that I actively follow.
Let me start with a brief history of the I.C.A.
Let me start with a brief history of the I.C.A.
7 (or 9?) people who were devoted and loved card flourish, an art of manipulating cards apart from magic tricks, formed this community on February 1st, 2009. They're Gior, Rama, Rizky, Adie, Edward, Dhika, and Osamon. Their journey was really hard, especially because playing cards have a "bad reputation" in Indonesia. If you play cards (or maybe just hold them), people think that you're a gambler. But they didn't stop. They made an online forum and their community grew really fast. With some hard work, they finally began to rise from the shadows of playing card's bad reputation. People finally accepted the art and the I.C.A. tasted the fruits of their hard work, they appeared on radios and magazines.
But then, life didn't cooperate well like before. Though the community grew faster but it's been a flat moment for the I.C.A. C'est la vie.
But now, life has put them -probably- on the top of the roller coaster's rail. Less than a month, they appeared in so many TV programs.
I have known them since pretty much the beginning of their journey so I think that is really good for them, now I am referring to all of I.C.A. members, to be well known in Indonesia. It is time for card flourish in Indonesia to rise again. :D
I can sense that my writing is not structured anymore. lol
I'm so tired, but I wanted to write something here. haha..
So, this is the end for now, see you all again next time.
Oh, I put a of I.C.A.'s video when they're on TV (with me in there) :D
Thanks to Rama who has given me the chance to perform on TV.
Enjoy.
