Historical highlights
In 1999 Chi Minh gave his first public performance and he has been entertaining both indoors and outdoors all over Singapore ever since. In 2002 he won the 1st Prize at Talent Search 2002 Mirage held at the Substation and in 2004 he was the 1st Runner-up at The Incredible Feat Challenge held at Junction 8 Mall organised by the Singapore Press Holdings and MacDonald’s Singapore.
In 2004 he created and hosted the country’s 1st National Juggling Competition held at Downtown East on World Juggling Day. That same year, he made high-quality juggling equipment more easily available to jugglers of all levels in Singapore; and held a juggling workshop at a prestigious international school in Singapore.
The following year in 2005 Chi Minh organised the country’s 1st Local Juggling Festival on World Juggling Day. He brought together the Singapore Jugglers and the Singapore Unicyclists to celebrate a very well-attended event at one of Singapore’s iconic venues: Clarke Quay. During that festival, he ran yet another exciting competition that showcased the talents of jugglers, unicyclists and magicians in Singapore. In the same year, he began to give Corporate Juggling Workshops.
At the Singapore National Day Parade 2008 at Marina Bay on 9th August, Chi Minh was the only juggler featured in a specially produced video screened to the thousands of spectators during the multi-media grande finale. And behind the scenes of NDP 2008, he was also the sole external juggling instructor for a select group of crowd motivators. 2008 was also the year that Chi Minh first integrated juggling into a road safety infotainment show at Ride Safe 2008, an event organised by BBDC and the Traffic Police.
