About TK Jiang

TK was given his first magic set from Daiso at age 10. Pursuing and perfecting his craft since he was in secondary school, he had accumulated a significant stash of books and magic sets in his home. 

One year ago, on his way home after class, he noticed firefighters and police under his block in Upper Boon Keng Road. The entire flat that he shared with his parents, who were also not home at the time, suffered heavy soot damage, and the family had to move out immediately. He lost all his magic equipment, which included close-up and stage magic props.

Making the most of what he had left in his school bag - his laptop and tablet, he turned to digital magic. He tried crowdfunding on Give.asia where $7,000 was raised, which went towards the refurbishment of his flat and replacing his magic equipment.


"I was able to bounce back so quickly because of all the unexpected support I received, so I decided to audition for Asia's Got Talent as a way to repay all the people who helped me."

During his Asia's Got Talent audition, the 23-year-old business administration undergraduate from Singapore Management University, performed an original trick that involved objects such as balls, fruits and even a glass of juice apparently "emerging" from his iPad. Korean-American judge Jay Park was so impressed and entertained, he pressed his Golden Buzzer for Mr Jiang, sending him straight to the semi-finals.
