Ferdinand Flores (a.k.a. The Chubster) is one of 2 sons of Benito and Teofila Flores from Manila, Philippines. Born on June 23, 1968, he got interested into magic at the age of 7 years old upon watching episodes of "Wonderful World Of Magic", hosted by Bill Bixby. On his 9th birthday he got an S.S. Adams Deluxe Magic Kit as a birthday gift and the rest was history...

He started his professional career way back in 1990, and adopted the name "Chubby Flores" as his stage name. He joined "Magicians Foundation Inc." which is now I.B.M. Ring 322. Since then, he had joined other magical organization like Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.), International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M.), International Magicians Society (I.M.S.), and Inner Magic Club, Philippines (I.M.C.).

He was a co-founder and became the first president of the I.M.C. (Inner Magic Club) and part of their accomplishment during his term was a grand magic show featuring the best in Philippines magic held at the Cultural Center Of The Philippines.

 

In January of 2007, he made a very big career move by adopting a new name... The Chubster! Together with the new name comes a new image as well!

To date he is currently the T.V.P. of I.B.M.-Philippines, a position given to him by the organization way back in 1998.
