cyril takayama

This guy is touted as 'The best close-up magic performer' and 'better than david blaine' etc etc on Youtube. But.. i think each has his own style la. David Blaine has his mysterious, eerie style and his 'watch, watch' catchphrase.
Cyril is more of.. perform for pretty girls. hahaha. seriously just go search most of his videos will have a pretty girl audience.

Although i can figure out many of his tricks, his execution is pretty flawless. Some have me clueless though, i'm just guessing 'GIMMICK'. (a pre-prepared prop for the trick) (like.. yknow when a magician pulls a bunny out of the hat. The bunny is actually below the table the hat is on, and there's a pedal he steps on which brings the bunny up through the flap in the table and the flap in the hat and into the hat. That's his gimmick. ) (haha jesslyn now you know)


Here are a few of his videos which are think are quite nice. check em out =)






and in this last video.. it's still cyril!! but he's in disguise as a grandpa. he does this sometimes, i saw him disguise as a fat man also. he's damn funny in this one! haha the tricks.
