Award-winning magician Vikey had little knowledge about the king of fruits, but now sells durians as the MCO took a toll on his show business.
When the Covid-19 virus first cast its spell over the nation and trapped audiences in their homes, it threw all sorts of showbiz folk out of work and onto hard times. Now, Vikey’s “Magic Durian” shop takes orders on his Facebook page or through his WhatsApp. He drives to his customer’s doorstep and they choose their own durians.
Daredevil Vikey is famous for his death-defying stunts, like escaping from buried coffins, but less hazardous conjuring tricks will have to do until restrictions on gatherings for entertainment are lifted.
