Magician Choi Hyun-woo Aims for a Winning Pitch on 'The Manager'! Tarot Predictions and Ties to Chairman Koo Kwang-mo Revealed

Magician Choi Hyun-woo is set to deliver a magical pitching performance on the upcoming 364th episode of MBC's 'The Manager.' Known as the 'K-Harry Potter,' he will showcase his dedication to becoming a 'victory fairy' for the LG Twins.

This episode delves into the behind-the-scenes of Choi Hyun-woo's third attempt at pitching for the LG Twins. Having experienced two previous losses after his pitches, he feels immense pressure to secure a win this time. He consults tarot cards to predict the game's outcome, a unique approach from someone with nearly 30 years of tarot experience, leaving the panel astonished by the results. The show also teases a special connection and anecdote with LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, amplifying viewer curiosity.

Upon arriving at the stadium, Choi Hyun-woo faces an unexpected challenge: practicing his pitching lines with the stadium announcer, he receives a crash course in 'baseball's forbidden words.' Despite being hailed as a 'Great Magician,' he's told to completely seal away the word 'magic' during his segment. The episode will reveal the reason behind this peculiar ban and showcase his spectacular magic-infused pitch, promising a performance that will once again wow the audience.

The broadcast will also feature a relatable story from Jun Hyun-moo, who shares his own 'curse of defeat' experience from a past baseball pitch. He recounts a single slip of the tongue that allegedly cost a team its championship run, leading to laughter among the cast.

Following his pitching duty, Choi Hyun-woo will convene with fellow magicians for a planning session for 'Aphanasia,' Korea's first group hypnosis show, which has been ongoing since 2022. The meeting, held at a magic-themed cocktail bar, and the magic performances by junior magicians are expected to create a lively atmosphere in the studio.

Choi Hyun-woo is a prominent South Korean magician who began his career in the late 1990s.

He is widely recognized as the 'Korean Harry Potter' for his innovative and spectacular stage magic performances.

Beyond his television appearances that have cemented his public profile, Choi Hyun-woo continues to push boundaries with experimental projects like 'Aphanasia,' Korea's first group hypnosis show.
