“My Magic” remains the only movie from Singapore to be nominated for the Palme D’Or, while it was also selected as Singapore’s official entry for the Oscars in 2009. Khoo cast Tamil actors, a minority in Singapore, in a rarity for local cinema, while Francis Bosco, the protagonist, is a real life magician. Lastly, the film was shot in just 9 days, and most of Bosco’s stunts were done in one take, since Khoo was afraid he would be injured, while the music of the film is courtesy of Khoo’s then 10-year-old son, Christopher.
