You can't make a magic trick without breaking a few eggs (or should that be 'decks'?)!

:D

Fantastic and what a marvelous example at how to captivate an audience. This guy has the crowd totally under his spell.

:) Wow Magic Bill. Where did you find this guy? And what's his name. (Don't read Japanese) I have sen this very old trick performed a number of times over the years BUT no one touches this young man for sheer confidence, showmanship and pizazz. A wonderful modern presentation which looked like absolute magic. And no cage at the end. His use of the topit was brilliant. And what an audience. What marvellous reactions. And under what conditions to perform what is normally a stage trick. It's restored my hope for magic in the future.

I've done the traditional version of this bit for years but this guy has taken it to a new level... very impressive!

:?: I'm not certain, but it does look as if he used a modified version of a dove vanish I came up with in the early 80s... in my handling it was a slow-motion transformation of a dove to a white silk... all I can say is whatever he's done with the concept is awesome! :wink:

Ciril Takayama perchance? Have a look at the posts in this section regarding his hamburger trick and others.
