Taiwan magician Lu Chen will perform at Beijing Workers' Gymnasium during Christmas. His close-up magic show will focus on three objects: his pen, poker cards and coffee cup. Because of the special date, he will add romantic elements to the show. Fond of interacting with the audience, Lu will randomly select people from the crowd to cooperate with him. Lu, who has been called the "David Copperfield of Asia", was named Magician of the Year 2011 by The Academy of Magical Arts in April. He is the first Chinese to win this award, also known as the Oscar of magic.
7:30 pm, Dec 24. Beijing Workers' Gymnasium, Gongti Bei Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 400-610-3721.
