It's exciting. It's thrilling and it's amazing! The stage is set for the biggest magical spectacle this Holiday season as IMPOSSIBLE: World’s Greatest Magic Show finally arrives in Manila. Opening on Christmas Day, December 25th to January 3rd at the Araneta Coliseum, Filipinos will finally be able to see the much-awaited magical show live on stage.
My kids love to watch Magic Show online, they were longing to watch a live act and gladly yours truly was invited in one of the magic show recently played here in the Philippines, the  Impossible. It is staged in Philippines to let Filipinos watch it this holiday season. My family, of which I always dubbed it as Date with My Boys were all there to enjoy it. As most of you knows that I'm the only girl in the family and my boys are my two kids and my hubby. Our date happened last Christmas day, we went to Smart Araneta Coliseum for our time with the magicians.
We were so excited! And yes, this is the first time that my kids will watch it live. At first they were so thrilled until Bello Nock get the terrifying stunt, even me, I am so nervous with the stunts. Personally, I do have fear on heights, so this one gave us a scary feeling that everytime that he seemed to falling we would shout and were frightened.  

Fresh from its record-breaking success in London’s West End, IMPOSSIBLE has been hailed by critics as “the Hottest Act in Town” (Daily Mail) for giving “variety, illusion and magic a brilliant, fresh spin” (The Stage). The Guardian describes IMPOSSIBLE as “a fiesta of trickery and illusion,” and "an absolute blast from start to finish!" says Hollywood News.
IMPOSSIBLE features six of the world’s most mind-blowing magical acts, fusing death-defying stunts, technological trickery, grand stage illusions and close-up magic in a fast-paced breath-taking performance that reinvents the biggest illusions in history.
“We were overwhelmed by the welcome that London audiences showed IMPOSSIBLE last year and hot on the heels of our success in different parts of the world. We are delighted to be bringing our spectacular World Tour now to Manila.” says Jamie Hendry (Producer).


IMPOSSIBLE features Boundary-Breaking Magician Ben Hart, Explosive Street Magician Magical Bones, Mind-Blowing Mind-Reader Chris Cox, Grand Illusionist Josephine Lee, Master of Magic Ali Cook, and Comic Daredevil Bello Nock.
 
The next thing that my eldest son, Maki asked was "How'd they do that Mommy?" when Ben Hart did the electrifying transportation. It was so amazing. I cannot explain it well, I just said to my son "It's Magic". While my youngest son, Gelo wanted to volunteer to Chris Cox when he asked the audience to read what was inside the mind of that specific person. He wanted to talk to the magician, he kept of raising his hand, hahaha, Gelo is very active and curious at the same time. Mind Reading is so amazing and spectacular, we really like it that much.

Ben Hart and Magical Bones made the news headlines recently as they left Filipino audiences stunned with their up-close magic and sleight of hand tricks during their promo tour in Manila to announce the show.
Finally the end was near, and it was Bello Nock again that made us all terrified with his stunt and we would shout whenever he is on the almost falling. Again, that was so amazing and spectacular. Most of the audience were really frightened with his stunts even my kids, their eyes were hooked with Bello Nock.

“Wilbros Live is thrilled to bring the world’s greatest magic show IMPOSSIBLE to Manila. This is a must-see live spectacular for the whole family this coming holiday season,” adds executive producer Winston Llamas of Wilbros Live.
We have an awesome Christmas celebration at the Impossible: The World's Greastest Magic Show. My kids are asking me to let them watch it again the next day, they really enjoyed the night and were hoping that we would watch it again. Thank you Wilbros for the opportunity and yes to See is to Believe at the Impossible.

Christmas Celebration is truly magical for everyone especially here in the Philippines. I am so glad that my parents are still here with us to celebrate this yuletide season. My father has been under Peritonial Dialysis for almost 3 years, I'm very thankful for the gift of life from God. Truly every Christmas celebration for us is magical because we are complete.
Something magical will continuously unfold on television as GMA Network launches its 2016 Christmas campaign dubbed "Maniwala Sa Magic Ng Pasko," the first locally-produced 3D animated Christmas campaign. It was launched last November 7, in 24 Oras.

"During such a busy time of the year, we hope that, by spreading the message of hope, every Kapuso will get to experience the joy and limitless possibilities that come with believing in the magic of the Season," says GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe Gozon.

The story. Magic Crayons, is the first in this three-part series and highlights the magical feeling of having one's wish granted for Christmas in the eyes of a child.

"It is felt that the use of animated images best complements the essence of our Holiday message this year - to believe in the magic of Christmas. Through this, it is hoped that even our youngest Kapusos will enjoy our campaign and embrace the meaning of our Christmas message this season," GMA President and COO Mr. Gilberto Duavit Jr. shares.

The Maniwala Sa Magic Ng Pasko Christmas campaign comes at the heels of GMA's animated anthology series Alamat's win of the country's first "Best of Festival" Award at the US International Film and Video Festival (USIFVF), a recognition given to an outstanding entry among Gold Camera awardees in the USIFVF.

GMA Network already did something Magical this coming Christmas with their campaign. It will touch your heart and give you hope and inspiration that no matter how hard life is and with so many struggles coming our way, we should never lose faith and continue believing and this should start as a child, the kids around us should never falter in wishing for the best even if it's not Christmas. Through the eyes of a child, every thing is possible.
GMA's Christmas stories are the brainchild of GMA's Program Support Department headed by Regie Bautista (First Vice President), Dino Garcia (Assistant Vice President), Hasmin Marable (Assistant Vice President), BJ Camaya (Associate Creative Director), Catherine Ko (Project Manager), Nicolle Castillo (Writer), and Juan Javier, Reybert Ramos, Laqy Laqueo (Artists); and brought to life by GMA's Post Production Department composed of Edward Achacoso (First Vice President), Paul Ticzon (Vice President and Head of Operations), and April Canasa-Angeles (Senior Manager, Video Graphics Section).

The theme song of this year's Christmas campaign is sung by Julie Anne San Jose with lyrics written by BJ Camaya and Nicolle Castillo and music composed by Len Calvo and Ann Figueroa.
