Japanese Crap


Clearly, the magic video Steve Brook masterbates to.

This video showcases what may quite possibly be the coolest effect ever broadcast on television.

And no, this isn't the Japanese Girl Loses Her Head video that's been circulating around the magic blogs.

[Psst... the magician in the video is Cyril Takayama, a F.I.S.M. award winner and member of the Magic X Live, the group responsible for NBC's T.H.E.M]




Hey, you're still reading this post? Fine - re-watch the video and keep this quote from Jeff McBride (Editor from the future: actually, it's Henning Nelms) in mind (I'm paraphrasing a bit, but the point's still there): "If you produce a ham sandwich while you're out on the street, that's a cool trick. However, if your friend says, 'Wow, I'm starving. What I could really use right now is a ham sandwich,' and you produce a ham sandwich, you have a bonafide miracle."

Now if you can produce a hamburger from a Japanese sign, then, well, you've got it made.

    The McBride quote is originally from Henning Nelms' Magic and Showmanship

    Actually, Cyril is on the Magic X Live website. The URL is http://www.magicxlive.com. You must have missed him.
