In an effort to raise funds for the UNICEF Check Out for Children Program, a global partnership between Starwood Hotels & Resorts and UNICEF,
The Westin chose to host an event inspired by the power of magic.
The Resort invited the talented Indonesian magician Rhomedal to perform his highly acclaimed show entitled ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ before an audience of local children. He is the recent winner of The Master 2, a popular magic competition that aired on national television. The performance was an overwhelming success with over 2200 tickets sold.
At only 21 years of age, Rhomedal is now spreading his wings by appearing on national television as well as performing live shows across Indonesia. His vision is to entertin but also encourage people to explore their own creativity. Rhomedal is a role model for children as he is proof that it is possible to reach for your dreams if you truly believe.
