Justin Flom, Branson's rising star, brought home the People's Choice Award in an extraordinary international magic festival held for the past two weeks in Malaysia.

World-renowned magicians competed by showcasing magic, showmanship and illusions of the highest caliber at the Genting International Magic Festival held at Genting Highlands Resort. Better known as Genting – City of Entertainment, it is a family holiday destination with over 18 million visitors, both Malaysians and international visitors, annually, and the world's largest resort.

"I was honored to be asked to compete and am on cloud nine being selected as the people's favorite," said Flom. "Each night of the competition audience members completed a ballot to choose the entertainer they enjoyed the most. I wasn't expecting to win when they announced my name at the awards night the last day of the festival."

Genting International Magic Festival is officially endorsed and sanctioned by the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the world’s largest organization for magicians with over 13,000 members in more than 80 countries spanning the globe. The People's Choice award is an honor among others Flom has earned this year. He was recently featured on the cover the International Brotherhood of Magicians magazine, Linking Ring.

Flom is in his second year of having his own theater, Justin Flom's Imaginary Theatre, located on the top floor of the Majestic Steakhouse at the corner of Gretna and Roark.

From the age of two Flom showed an enthusiastic interest for the art of magic and found it easy to get on stage with his dad and perform. His youth was spent performing magic with his younger siblings being billed as “The Flom Kids.” He has performed with his family overseas and been to ten different countries performing magic. At the age of 18, Flom headlined his magic show at the Branson Mall Music Theatre. By the end of 2005 construction began on the Imaginary Theatre, a venue that houses an experience-based magic show. It opened July 1, 2006.

“I love that I can transport my audience to another place and let them escape their daily life. They may laugh, cry or experience wonder but they're not worrying about their regular stressful life. That's magic. It's important that I can let the audience in on the experience because the audience is the most important part of the show. Without the audience, there is no show,” he said.

Several effects in his show are his own ideas. He derives satisfaction in seeing them built from the ground up, performing it in front of a live audience and hearing the approval, but, he said, “My favorite illusion is my next one.” And even though Flom was presenting his Christmas shows, he was already planning the new illusions for his 2008 season.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

For more information about the 2008 season call the box office at 417-332-1911 or go online at imaginarytheatre.com. The Imaginary Theatre is located at 2849 Gretna Rd.

BRANSON, Mo. — Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa and Convention Center will host one of the Midwest's largest New Year's Eve celebrations beginning at 7:00 p.m., Monday, Dec. 31, 2007 and featuring a colossal fireworks display over Table Rock Lake to culminate an evening of fine gourmet dining, live music, and champagne toasts.

The New Year's Eve celebration starts in the Chateau's 32,000-square foot Great Hall with a festive hors d'oeuvres reception and cash bar at 7:00 p.m., followed by a plated dinner of Filet Mignon and fresh Atlantic Shrimp, and topped off with one of the Chateau's signature hand-made specialty desserts, all presented by Executive Chef Anthony J. Burke, CEC and his team of culinary experts.

For a more intimate dining experience, the Chateau Grille will serve a special five-course New Year's Eve holiday meal along with their regular menu selections. Reservations are strongly advised.

At 9:00 p.m., the popular Gary Myer's Band will take the stage in the Great Hall and rock the night away with dance favorites from the 70s and 80s, with a little R & B added to the mix. Guests in the quaint Library Lounge will be treated to an evening of top-notch live jazz music, a roaring fire, an award-winning wine, beer and cocktail menu, and complimentary party favors — all with no cover charge.

To signal to guests in the Great Hall that it's time to bid adieu to 2007, the party hats and horns, champagne, and a giant balloon droop will roll out just before midnight.

In keeping with the Chateau's signature grand style, the resort will present a spectacular fireworks display just after midnight for hotel guests and thousands of spectators whose tradition is to watch from boats on Table Rock Lake, or at one the popular viewing locations along Highways 165 & 265.

No New Year's celebration would be complete at the Chateau without their famous New Year's Day Champagne Brunch featuring dozens of traditional breakfast items, along with carved meats, shellfish, cheeses, salads, and decadent desserts. The Chateau's Dixieland Band serenade during brunch is sure to inspire a few New Year's resolutions. Brunch runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Chateau Grille. Reservations are suggested, but not required.

To make this New Year's Eve celebration safe and enjoyable, the Chateau is offering several overnight packages starting at just $399 per couple (including tax and service charges), which includes admission to the Great Hall Party, two drink tickets, gourmet dinner for two, fireworks display, and one night in a double room.

The Chateau will extend a complimentary 6:00 p.m. checkout time to guests departing on New Year's Day. Area residents can take advantage of the Spa Chateau's local discount on a variety of new Spa treatments starting in 2008.
