The only Mentalist in Malaysia, David Lai

David Lai, my nephew

Director, Tess Management

The only Mentalist in Malaysia to receive the prestigious Merlin Award in 2012, David Lai first learned to perform magic tricks in his teens. Today, his production company produces numerous local and international illusion shows across the world. He’s also the winner of the RHB Excellence Award for Talent category.

David is a success story on the home ground. When he wanted to go into magic when he was still in school, his parents objected. He promised his parents he would finish his formal education, and he trained as an engineer.
