About PMI Gear

Born in the summer of 2020, PMI represents the shared vision of Kelvin Chow, Peter Zhao and Micky Wong. With a common background in theatrical magic and special effects, they believed that not only were magicians "doing magic" in the modern era, but there were also many gifted "magicians" in the world of filmmaking, photography and all the arts. True magic happens when the gifted creatives in our world are given the tools to bring their revolutionary, unique artistic visions to life.

The name "Practical Magic & Innovations" has a double meaning: it represents both the team's origins in Practical Effects and the high standards they set to make their tools magical and practical enough for production-level work. If there is one thing to learn from the magic industry, it is that everything is impossible until it is achieved. PMI stands by this lesson and will continue to conjure up impossible yet practical innovations that enable the best creators of our time to create their own magic.
