they claim to be "world-renowned father-daughter illusionists and Asia's first Elite Diamond Merlin Award recipients (conferred by the International Magicians Society in New York)" i di my own bit of snooping and found out that the Merlin award is nothing more than a sham and at best at exhorbitant PR campaign. The Merlin awards is claimed to be the Oscars of the Magic Fraternity. It is a apparently just 1 magician being paid to travel around the world, put up in fancy hotels, for him to present an award that is bought by the magician. In the Oscars there are at least other nominees, but in the Merlin Awards, it seems that the winenrs are the only nominees...

One magician, Paul Romhany who was offered the award was told he had to pay 10,000 just to receive the award. I would love to know how much the Khongs paid for theirs.

Most dissapointing is how a pastor of 10,000 is able to sear his conscience and be willing to accept such a fictitious award which is shrouded in so much controversy. I question the morality of the very company itself.
