A few weeks ago I was sent some clips of this Japanese guy (I think) doing some awesome street magic in Japan. He did on trick where he pulled a hamburger out of a menu that was outside the restaurant. The pic of the hamburger then disapeared. He took a bite of the hamburger
and put it back into the menu. When he took his hands away,the pic was back but the hamburger had a bit taken out of it.It was like David Blaine X 10.

Anyone seen his magic and or know who this guy is? I can find the clips and post then if anyone is interested.

And if there is a tread on this guy,this is my first day on this site and have not had a chance to check out all the forums yet.

his name is Cyril something or other and by all accounts he is a VERY talented magician.. there are other threads about him on here somewhere and im pretty sure there are also links to some of his effects too

Can one buy any of these tricks on the net or are they his personal tricks that may never be revealed?

Like I said,I'm new to all this so I apologize if this Q's have been already discussed.

Most are old stuff with a twist. I imagine he'll sell out and starting selling notes and instructions soon. Everyone does in the end :D

He may not be japanese. I can read hiragana and katakana japanese, and there are 3 different types of scripts. Katakana, (which is used in foreign names and business names. Linkin park uses their name in katakana) , hiragana (Which is used for everything else, along side kanji)
He may have a japanese last name, but his first name, Cero, is written in katakana. This means he is a foreigner, (Gaijin) and is not japanese.But I may be wrong....

セロ, or Sero, is his name in japanese, romanized.

Here's a link: http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp ... ords=magic

Tabemono, written as 食べ物, or in hiragana... 【たべもの】
Means "Food" and is a very polite way to say it.

Nomimasu, means "Drink", when they asked him for a drink, he said "No.", "Iie", and then produced one himself.

I think the magician you're talking about is called Cyril. I have a list of his video clips in my intro topic if you want to have a look. Feel free :)
