It was an event as colorful as it was entertaining as we got to cover Cosplay Got Talent at Walter Mart Sucat, where the public got to see much more from resident and visiting cosplayers. Organized by Sir Ricky, also known as Jestler the Magician, with the help of his many eager friends, Cosplay Got Talent was a charity event that showcased the many interesting talents that cosplayers have been just waiting to share with the public.
Conceptualized as a cozy, friendly event that people of all ages can enjoy, Sir Ricky, even though it started out humbly and with many challenges, had high hopes for the event. His efforts were not wasted as cosplayers from all over Manila gathered at the event center of Walter Mart Sucat to showcase their talents as well as have fun with the crowd, taking photos with them and just having an enjoyable time.
The event had many features like a teakwondo exhibition by a local group. There were street magicians and an amazing acrobatic troupe.
There were exciting dance numbers by guest performers, Borealis, who have been making waves at cosplay events recently.
The highlight of course was the Cosplay Got Talent competition where cosplayers, besides their talents in cosplaying itself, showed to the public their other talents, like singing, acting, dancing, performing magic tricks, and many others, all enjoyed by an appreciative crowd that had gathered there that afternoon.
Among having the honor of being the judges for this competition were our Cosplay Models Mina Kim and Nicolette Feeser, who were a hit to both the other cosplayers and to the audience as well. As much as they had appreciated all of the contestants that afternoon, winners had to be chosen. and in the end, Melanie got to win the Best Female category and Uchi as best Chibi. Dancing his way to the top was our friend Miko Raezor “The Dancing Revenant”, who got to groove his body while in costume armor for many non-stop minutes, a feat not easily dismissed. He won as champion and Best Male. He and the other winners got to take home nice prizes from the organizers.
It wasn’t all about the contest, as everyone knew that it was all for fun and for charity, and cosplayers and their friends got to spend a great afternoon together.
Many thanks and congratulations to Sir Ricky and the rest of the organizers for having this successful event as we look forward to more, hopefully real soon.
