About him: Norvin is a Singapore-based magician, balloon artist, entertainer, and content creator who is passionate about spreading happiness through performance and creativity. Inspired by famous magicians such as David Copperfield and Liu Qian from a young age, he developed a deep interest in magic and entertainment.

Over the years, he expanded beyond magic into balloon sculpting, balloon décor, social media content creation, and live entertainment. Known for his humorous personality and engaging stage presence, Norvin combines magic, balloon art, and online content to build memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.

The club gave him access to mentors, performance opportunities, and equipment that helped him develop his stage skills. As his performances improved, he started receiving paid gigs while still studying and realised entertainment could become a full-time career.
Winning a magic competition further boosted his credibility and confidence, helping him secure more professional opportunities. Another important shift came with the rise of social media, where content creation allowed him to expand his audience and business visibility significantly.
What he does now: Today, Norvin runs The Balloon Thing, where he provides magic shows, balloon sculpting, balloon decoration services, and event entertainment across Singapore.
He is also active as a content creator on social media and continues developing new stage acts and entertainment concepts.
