 We consider Michigan's Master Magician Nate Kranzo a friend -- we have no idea if the feeling is mutual. Regardless, any friend of Nate is a friend of ours. We've checked out his links and were impressed. Check out his video showing of one of the neatest tricks we've seen in a while, Invisible Elasticity II (pronounced "Invisible Elacticity TWO" not, as we called it, "Invisible Elasticity EYE-EYE"). We intend to save up our money to buy the download (it's only $12.95 but they took all of our money as a condition of the parole). Finally, you must sign up for Mr. Kranzo's newsletter. He writes with vim & vigor about things we love. Subscribe by heading here. |
Happy Monday!
IS there such a thing? : )
I am very excited to tell you about my friend Akira Fuji. Some of you may remember his name from his Jet Coins routine published in Genii magazine a few years back. Akira has been featured quite a bit on Japanese television and aside from being a fantastic magician he is also a really cool guy.
When I first read his routine in Genii I was really blown away by the clever construction and unorthodox use of sleights. Then I got to witness it live and I had a near religious experience. I haven't been excited about coin magic much in the past few years and this really got me going. I watched him perform the routine several times in one day and each time you could actually hear people gasp. It was great!
Last November I was hired by Toy Sanada to entertain at his convention
in Osaka, Japan. At that convention my friend Alfonso introduced me to
Akira and we hit it off. Akira handles coins with
such grace he has been an inspiration for me.
I wanted to share this with you because Akira has released a new DVD featuring his coin magic. My voice was used to provide the English voice over and I think I did a great job. : )

I hope you enjoy the magic of Akira. I'm sure we will be seeing much more from him.
On a side note I uploaded a new video on my site. It is a demo of my effect Invisible Elasticity II.
It is about half way down the page if you click here:

All the best,
