Eric Chien: The Inspiring Tale of Eric Chien, from FISM Champion to Worldwide Stardom

Interview by Andrea Baioni FISM International President (research conducted by Aldo Ghiurmino) 

FISM:  When did you decide to participate in the FISM World Championship of Magic?

Eric Chien:  I made that decision in 2017.

FISM:  What factors influenced your decision to participate in the FISM WCM?

EC:  I have always been a competitive person, and I also wanted to see how my magic skills stacked up against the best in the world.

FISM: What were your biggest fears and insecurities leading up to the FISM WCM?

EC: One of my biggest challenges was not finishing the construction of my props until just four days before FISM. This left me with very little time to practice, and I was extremely apprehensive about making mistakes on stage.

FISM: What aspects of your performance were you most confident about?

EC: I was confident in the uniqueness of my act, something that had never been seen before. My performance was also highly visual.

FISM: How did the preliminary rounds of the FISM WCM go for you?

EC: It went surprisingly well. I had no prior stage experience before FISM, so I was incredibly nervous. When I stepped onto the stage, I essentially "blacked out" due to nervousness, and my body went into autopilot.

FISM: Can you describe your experience during the final round of FISM WCM?

EC: It was quite an adventure. I didn't finish setting up my props, and the curtains unexpectedly opened on me. I was even dragged off stage by someone, but then the curtains closed again. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every second on that stage.

FISM: What happened after you were declared the FISM WCM Grand Prix winner?

EC: My phone was inundated with messages. We celebrated with a fantastic party alongside many other contestants. However, I also felt somewhat lost because FISM had been my sole goal since 2017, and I didn't know what to do next. I lacked other plans, and suddenly everyone had exceptionally high expectations of me.

EC: I decided to sign up for Asia's Got Talent, where I emerged victorious. I also participated in America's Got Talent and won there too. I clinched the BGT Ultimate Magician title and even went on a Broadway tour. I traveled the world, performing my magic.

FISM: Would you like to share any additional feelings or anecdotes about your journey following your win at the FISM World Championship of Magic?

EC: It was an exhilarating journey. I had less than a week to practice my act, largely due to the last-minute completion of my props. FISM WCM marked only my second time on stage, making it an incredibly nerve-wracking experience. Although I was overjoyed to win the Grand Prix, I understood that it was just the beginning of my magical career.

Eric Chein was overwhelmed with emotion after he was crowned the Ultimate Magician in a Britain’s Got Talent special.

During Sunday’s spellbinding spin-off previous illusionists that have graced the series competed for the whopping £50,000 prize.

The Witch, Richard Jones – who was the first magician to win in 2016 – and many more put out all the stops to impress judges Amanda Holden , Alesha Dixon , David Walliams and Penn Jillete.

Colin Cloud, Marc Spelmann, Kevin James, Tony, Magical Bones, Mandy Muden, and The Clairvoyants also completed the line-up.

But it was America’s Got Talent star Eric who left the judges in awe with his incredible card routine.

‘It’s just so subtle and so perfect, you are exceptional,’ Amanda began.

‘You are a monster in the magic world, in a good way.’

David added: ‘It was an absolutely brilliant idea, perfectly executed. It was like a work of art. So simple and yet so complex.’

Near the end of the show, host Stephen Mulhern – who filled in for Ant and Dec – revealed that The Witch, Magical Bones and Eric made it to the final three, but it was Eric who reigned supeme.

‘I am still shaking this is incredible,’ he enthused after he was declared winner.

‘I am so glad to be able to come out and perform again.’

Viewers also took to social media to congratulate the star, with one writing: ‘Eric was in a totally different league to the others. Well deserved win.’

‘It wasn’t even close, Eric Chien was the best magician by miles,’ another added.

‘Literally the only act that was world class. Ask any magician who was good and they’ll say just 1 act. Eric Chien,’ a third person wrote.

Elsewhere, The Witch sent Amanda and Alesha into a frenzy with a jaw-dropping performance after they pulled apart a teddy bear’s stomach to reveal a live snake, which left Amanda leaving her seat.

Britain’s Got Talent series 10 winner Richard surprised Amanda by bringing out Pippa Nightingale, a nurse who helped save her life.

Eric Chien on America’s Got Talent: Is he the best magician in AGT history?

Eric Chien appeared on America’s Got Talent tonight to see if he is not only the best magician on the internet but the best one to appear on AGT in a long time. Did he live up to the buzz and expectations?

During the season premiere, Chien performed what could almost be called an impossible card trick. It had to be a good one, as Shin Lim showed the AGT audience last season how good close-up magic could be on the stage.

The full video of his introduction and performance is shared below, and it is worth watching for anyone who enjoys America’s Got Talent or loves seeing magic played out live.

Eric Chien impresses AGT judges

At the beginning of his performance, Chien spoke about how he had only been doing on-stage magic for a few months. The judges asked about making magic on the AGT stage, and he stated that he saw what Shin Lim could do last year.

During the performance, there were constant gasps from the in-studio audience. Alternating between changing the colors of the cards from red to blue, Chien was also making cards disappear as he delt them out. That was all before he started turning the cards into coins.

This is how you make @itsgabrielleu a believer! ? pic.twitter.com/JZ9gvrwwOv — America's Got Talent (@AGT) May 29, 2019

Eric Chien performed some outstanding magic and ended up getting a standing ovation from the judges and the in-house audience.

It was amazing, and Julianne Hough said it best in that he doesn’t need to compare himself to anyone else. Simon Cowell said it was “on a different level.”

The AGT judges unanimously put Eric Chien to the next round, which followed Cowell stating he was “one of the best we’ve ever had.”

America’s Got Talent airs Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Jake's Take

Jake's Take on Entertainment & Pop Culture

• Pop Culture

A Conversation with Magician Eric Chien

By: Jacob Elyachar, jakes-take.com

It is truly a privilege to welcome magician Eric Chien to Jake’s Take.

Eric Chien’s fascination in magic started when he was in high school. During his freshman year of college, he suffered from depression due to experiencing his first heartbreak. He locked himself for nearly half a year with no human contact. Eric spent eight hours a day practicing his craft and became a master in sleight of hand magic. At the end of Eric’s sophomore year, he decided to drop out of school and become a professional magician.

Eric Chien started his magic career as a consultant for the top magician in China since 2016. In 2018, He became the first Asian to ever win the title of FISM World Champion of Close Up Magic Grand Prix and that gave him the confidence to finally step up and be the performer himself. Within a month, he became a viral magician all over the world. Eric’s magic focuses more on the story and hopes to bring amazement and childlike wonder to everyone.

In this edition of A Conversation, Eric opened about performing on both America’s Got Talent and Asia’s Got Talent and the lessons he learned from his time on the NBC talent competition.

Jacob Elyachar: When did you first get interested in magic? How did your passion evolve into the desire to pursue a career in the entertainment industry?

Eric Chien: I first started magic back in junior year of high school. The moment I learned my first card trick, I was just completely in love with magic. I spent majority of my time practicing and researching magic instead of schoolwork. After my second year of college, I decided to take a gap year and just try performing for a living. I did some street magic and worked purely for tips. I realized I was actually having some success with it and realized that being a magician might actually work out for me after all. 

I was called to military service in 2015 but I did not give up magic while in service. In fact, I actually created a lot more magic while in service because i was more focused, less distraction from the outside world. I finished my service in 2016, and I was offered a job as a consultant for a famous magician. And that was when I started my career as a professional magician. 

Jacob Elyachar: Recently, you competed on Asia’s Got Talent, where you won your season. Could you please describe that experience to my readers?

Eric Chien: My friend actually signed me up for Asia’s Got Talent and when he told me I got in, I was surprised and thought I might as well try auditioning. It was my first international TV appearance and I was super nervous. Even though I’ve been doing magic for a while, I was mostly behind the scenes. In fact, the audition for Asia’s Got Talent was actually the first month I decided to become a performer. My goal was to gain experience and though of course I wanted to win, I didn’t think that was possible at all. 

I was very fortunate to advance to the finals. I created an act for the finals with a super big ending but because of my financial state during that time, I was not able to afford building the props so I created my chocolate routine for the finals. It later became one of my favorite acts to perform because of how fun it was. 

I could still remember that moment when I was crowned champion. I was just so filled with joy and excitement because I was one step closer to my dream now. I started getting a lot of fans all over the world and it was amazing to see how many people supported me. 

Jacob Elyachar: Why did you decide to audition for America’s Got Talent?

Eric Chien: I have actually always wanted to audition for AGT but because I was still very inexperienced with performing, I thought I would start practicing for it through Asia’s Got Talent . I know a lot of people’s lives change completely after AGT, and I really needed that as well. 

Jacob Elyachar: Were you nervous about being compared to Season 13 and America’s Got Talent: The Champions winner Shin Lim at any point during the season?

Eric Chien: I knew it was going to happen eventually, but I was not nervous about it. I respect Shin Lim so much, and I am sure he has a great deal of respect for me as well. We are actually friends.

Jacob Elyachar: What lessons would you take with you from your AGT run as you begin the next chapter of your career?

Eric Chien: I saw so many talents while at AGT . I learned the production process of the show, and it was really cool. I know all of these will come in handy as I try to produce my own show in the future.

Jacob Elyachar: If you had the opportunity to meet with aspiring magicians who want to advance their careers, what advice would you share with them?

Eric Chien: Be creative. Do not be scared to try new things. Actually go out and perform.

Do not read YouTube comments. Haters are everywhere to try to discourage you. After you have more experience, you will learn how to ignore them. 

You can connect with Eric on social media by visiting his Facebook, Instagram , Twitter & YouTube channels.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden accuses Code Pink anti-war protester of assault during RNC

Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden on Tuesday accused an anti-war protester of assault during an incident in downtown Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention, prompting a police investigation. 

Code Pink, the protest group involved in the incident, denied an assault took place and rather said Van Orden “tried to shove past” the activist. 

The interaction occurred near the 400 block of East Wisconsin Ave. shortly after 11 a.m., according to the Milwaukee Police Department, who said they are investigating the incident as an assault.  

Van Orden, a Prairie du Chien Republican, in a statement on X said he was “assaulted” by a member of Code Pink in what “appears to be an incident of political violence” as he was in line for an event. He referred to the group, which has protested the war in Gaza, as a “pro-Hamas group.”

The U.S. Conceal Carry Association held a “Defend and Protect” event at the Pfister Hotel at the time. A “Republican Women Lunch” was scheduled at the hotel for 12:30 p.m.

Milwaukee police told the Journal Sentinel that a 24-year-old woman “battered the victim” and was taken into custody. “The victim,” police said, referring to Van Orden, “sustained minor injuries and refused medical attention on scene.”

A spokeswoman for Van Orden did not respond to Journal Sentinel questions, including about Van Orden’s reported injuries.

It was not clear Tuesday afternoon whether charges had been filed against the woman. Milwaukee police said only that charges "will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office."

Code Pink in a statement after the arrest identified the woman involved in the incident as the group’s Palestinian campaign organizer, Nour Jaghama.  

The group said Jaghama, whom they described as “visibly Palestinian,” was “intentionally bumped into” by Van Orden “while he tried to shove past her.”

“He tried to cut me in line so I stood in front of him because I was first,” Jaghama said in a video posted by the group to X .

Other Code Pink activists in the video said they were in line for a “Republican women’s brunch” when “someone… came up and shoved her,” one activist said in the video, referring to Jaghama. “It ended up being Derrick Van Orden, a member of Congress from Wisconsin, who, as soon as he ran into her said, ‘You are assaulting a member of Congress.’”

Van Orden, who is running for re-election in the state's 3rd Congressional District, has been involved in confrontations before. In 2021, he reportedly threatened a teenage librarian over an LGBT book display. And he drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for cursing at a group of high school-aged Senate pages during a late-night tour of the U.S. Capitol. 

In his statement after the incident, Van Orden repeatedly mentioned political violence and referred to Saturday’s assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. 

“There is no place for political violence in this country and I have repeatedly called for people who choose this path to be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law,” he wrote. “Nothing will change until these people are held accountable.”

Background [ ]

Eric Chien is a Taiwanese magician, living in Houston, Texas. He won FISM Grand Prix in July, 2018. After that, Eric went on to win the third season of Asia's Got Talent , which concluded on April 11, 2019. [1] He is the first Taiwanese winner of the show, making him the first winner from outside Southeast Asia as well as the first winner from a country with no separate Got Talent franchise.

Eric was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1993, and moved to America when he was 4. He was the only Asian in school. He was beaten up in school, so it was tough for him and had to transfer school four to five times. He started doing magic when he was 16 in high school, and he decided to be a magician since then. Magic helps him get through tough times. He loves to create his own trick rather than imitating what others did.  [2]

After he posted a video of his magic routine on the Internet, a magician asked him if he would like to be a magic consultant, whose job is to create props and materials for magicians. As time went by, his urge of performing on stage instead of being backstage got stronger. At about 2016, he started making his own props. He started performing in front of big audience from about October of 2018, so he still feels nervous when having to perform in front of a huge crowd. He was called back to Taiwan for military service in 2015. He had to serve in the army for a year. During that time, he could't do any thing out of military duties, including magic. Therefore, he kind of lost his identity and had to find himself again after he came out.  [3]

Eric is a friend of  Will Tsai  ( Season 12 contestant) and Shin Lim ( Season 13 and The Champions Winner), and had met them a few times before in some kind of magicians event. He also had met or performed with  Stevie Starr  ( Season 10 Finalist, The Champions  contestant),  Steven Brundage  ( Season 11 Semifinalist), Eric Jones  ( Season 12 Semifinalist), The Sacred Riana ( Season 13 Quarterfinalist, All-Stars contestant), Yu Hojin ( Season 17 Finalist, Fantasy League contestant), Sangsoon Kim ( Season 18 Semifinalist), Ryan Hayashi ( Season 18 contestant) and some other former America's Got Talent contestants before.

Audition [ ]

Eric Chien's Audition performance in Episode 1401 consisted of performing his "Ribbon" act. First, he set several items on a table including a white ribbon, two frames and a chest containing blue and red cards. He then placed sets of blue and red cards onto the frames and divided the table with the ribbon. He then proceeded to change the colors of the cards in various ways along with his vest also changing colors from black to blue and red. He also made several cards disappear and created the illusion of a card being cut up and then put back together with the ribbon. He transformed the cards into coins which he placed into the chest and the coins, along with the ribbon and frames, disappeared. Howie Mandel ,  Julianne Hough ,  Gabrielle Union , and  Simon Cowell  all voted "Yes," sending Eric to the Judge Cuts.

Judge Cuts [ ]

Eric Chien's Week 4 Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1410 consisted of performing his "Imagination Coins" act. In the beginning, he removed one coin from guest judge  Jay Leno 's firmly closed hand to his hand. Then he created a coin from a drawn circle on a card. He did a coin routine including let coin disappear with just a pinch, grab coins out of thin air, and produce handful of coins out of nowhere. In the end, he put one of the coins he produced on Jay's hand and turned it back into ink. The coins, the pen, and the card on the table also turned into ink drawing. Howie Mandel , Gabrielle Union ,  Julianne Hough ,  Simon Cowell and guest judge Jay Leno all gave him standing ovations. His performance was strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals instead of Zack and Stan and  SOS .

Quarterfinals [ ]

Eric Chien's Week 3 Quarterfinals performance in  Episode 1415  consisted of performing a magic trick with Julianne Hough involving candies and Rubik's cubes, by producing Rubik's cubes from chocolate candies, solving the cubes which he produced and mixed by Julianne, and turning them back into chocolate candies.  Howie Mandel , Gabrielle Union and Simon Cowell all gave him standing ovations. Eric received enough votes to advance to the Semifinals in Episode 1416 along with Dom Chambers instead of Matthew Richardson .

Semifinals [ ]

Eric Chien's Week 1 Semifinals performance in Episode 1417  consisted of making images of famous landmarks appear on blank cards. He placed the cards on a map of the world and turned them all into 3-D models. At one point, he made a card tilt and stand on one corner. Eric did not receive enough votes to advance to the Finals in Episode 1418 , eliminating him from the competition along with Ansley Burns instead of Benicio Bryant .

After Season 14 [ ]

• Between 2019 & 2020, Eric toured with The Illusionists – Magic of the Holidays as "The Manipulator".
• Eric appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us Season 7 Episode 16, where he performed his "Ribbon" act. Although the duo has already seen the act before and has done multiple researches on it, he successfully fooled them.
• Between 2021 & 2022, Eric competed on China's Got Talent wherein he reached the Final. [4]
• Eric was invited to perform in Season 3 Grand Final of Indonesia's Got Talent in 2022. He assisted contestant Cassidy, who eventually became the runner-up of the show, in his Grand Final performance. [5] Later, he also performed a solo routine. [6] Another guest performer on the show was fellow Asia's Got Talent winner and America's Got Talent and All-Stars alumnus The Sacred Riana .
• In 2022, Eric won Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician , over Colin Cloud , Kevin James , Tony and Jordan (as Les French Twins), The Clairvoyants , Marc Spelmann , Mandy Muden and some other successful Britain's Got Talent magicians. [7]

All-Stars Preliminary [ ]

Eric Chien's Preliminary performance in Episode AS06 consisted of performing a close-up magic routine with Heidi Klum watching nearby the set. He did not receive enough votes from the Superfans to enter the Top 3 of the night, eliminating him from the competition.

After All-Stars [ ]

• In 2023, Eric competed on Got Talent: All Stars , the Spanish version of All Stars spinoff where he received the golden buzzer from guest judge Fernando Tejero and advanced straight to the Final. [8] [9]
• Eric is the first act since Season 13 Quarterfinalist  The Sacred Riana  that has won Asia's Got Talent before to audition, with The Sacred Riana winning Season 2 and Eric winning Season 3. Both returned in the same spinoff season ( America's Got Talent: All-Stars ).
• Eric is the first act of Asia's Got Talent Season 3 to appear on America's Got Talent , followed by Fabulous Sisters (Semifinalist of the show; a part of Fusion Japan ), Power Duo (third place of the show), and Shadow Ace (fifth or sixth place of the show).
• Eric is the first FISM Grand Prix winner to audition. He won the Close Up category in 2018. He was followed by Yu Hojin in Season 17 , who won the Stage category in 2012. Both are the first Asian winners in their respective category.
• With Eric winning Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician , he is one of four acts in entire Got Talent franchise to have won 2 Got Talents, along with Salah the Entertainer ( France's Got Talent Season 1/ Arab's Got Talent Season 4), Shin Lim ( Season 13 / The Champions ), and Mayyas ( Arab's Got Talent Season 6/ Season 17 ). Moreover, he is the first act to win a spinoff despite not being on said main show.
