Magician Lee Eun-kyung revealed that she has invested over 20 billion won solely in magic equipment.

In the the 12th broadcast of MBC's variety program 'Full View of Omniscient Interfering Perspective' (hereinafter referred to as 'Omniscient Interfering Perspective'), Lee Eun-kyung appeared and shared her daily life.

On that day, Lee Eun-kyung finished work at 9 a.m., arriving home looking exhausted. Her main assistant, Elena, explained, "These days, I'm extremely busy. I'm under so much stress and have no time. We're preparing for the 30th anniversary performance, so life is incredibly hectic."

Regarding the 30th anniversary performance, Lee Eun-kyung confidently stated, "We've gathered only the highlights from all the performances I've done so far." Elena added, "I finish work in the morning, take a short nap, then return to the office. There's almost no personal life left. It's crazy."

After briefly resting at home, Lee Eun-kyung headed back to work just three hours after finishing her shift. The place she went to was the Imagination Factory, an 870-pyeong facility that turns imagination into reality.

Inside the Imagination Factory, where final preparations for the 30th anniversary performance are underway, a massive 6-meter-tall tree from Las Vegas, USA, along with trains, super-sized rockets, helicopters, and other performance equipment were all on display.

When asked about the money spent on equipment alone—20 billion won—Lee Eun-kyung responded, "If we could have spent more, we would have. The costs incurred are already enormous. Creating something from nothing involves continuous trial and error."

When pressed about the most expensive piece of equipment, she said, "We used a levitating train during the 20th anniversary performance. It cost around 20 billion won when we first bought it. Since then, we haven't been able to use it again because it weighs four tons." This revelation surprised everyone.

Assistant director Lee Yu-jin explained the transportation of magic tools: "Each item is disassembled and packed individually. When transported to theaters, they are reassembled on-site. Because magic tools are extremely delicate, we typically use five to six anti-vibration trucks for general freight transport," revealing the extraordinary scale involved.
