Magician Park Min-beom, "A three-headed creature costs the price of two"... Witty answer citing Descartes

Magician Park Min-beom drew attention by providing a philosophical answer to questions regarding the number of audience members and ticket prices. In a video released on the YouTube channel PH, Park Min-beom shared stories about his past performance experiences and the content channel he currently operates, 'On & Off'.

"A three-headed creature costs the price of two"... Park Min-beom's answer citing Descartes

In the conversation within the video, Park Min-beom was asked how he would set ticket prices if a three-headed creature (a being with three heads) were to appear during a performance. In response, Park Min-beom said, "Even if there is only one body, if there are two heads, it means there are two people," and replied, "Since Descartes defined it as 'I think, therefore I am,' if there are two subjects of thought, the ticket price must also be doubled." He continued with witty logic, saying, "If you watch without thinking, you can watch for free."

Records from the first performance 'Near and Dear' to the 'Bipeosenseji' era

Park Min-beom reminisced about his career, starting with 'Near and Dear', his first close-up magic performance held in July 2023. The performance at that time was planned to show the charm of close-up magic, which is performed at a close distance to the audience, and a total of four performances were held during the month of July. Afterwards, he worked as a member of the 'Midnight in Paris' series at the Bipeosenseji venue. Mentioning the performance environment where he had to wear a suit and maintain a set atmosphere, he stated that he strove to learn new things in an atmosphere that was the exact opposite of his own tendency to prefer a casual style.

He also explained the reason for finishing his activities at Bipeosenseji. Park Min-beom said he felt a lack of physical time to continue performing every week and develop new repertoires. He added that he transitioned his performance activities to a one-off format to secure time to improve the perfection of his performances while balancing other activities such as school classes, video editing, and book translation.

Reason for establishing the channel 'On & Off': "Hoping to gain energy to return to daily life"

Recently, Park Min-beom has been expanding his field of activity through his personal website and channel, 'On & Off'. He cited the balance between 'immersion' and 'daily life' as the meaning contained in the channel name. Park Min-beom said, "I hope that as long as you are watching the content, you can escape from the worries of the world and be immersed," and explained, "At the same time, the name was chosen with the intention that you do not become so immersed that you cannot return to daily life, but rather that you can return to your daily life and live on with the energy gained through the content."

He is currently uploading magic lectures about once a month and is also producing personal talk show content. He stated that this was a choice to let the public know of his existence by showing a consistent presence rather than acting irregularly through collaborations.
