The night I auditioned for a magician membership at the Academy of Magical Arts (Magic Castle)…Shoot Agawa was one of the judges. Just imagine the nerves performing in front of such a great sleight of hand magician!!! I did get accepted and to this day I don’t know how…I know if it was Fool Us I didn’t fool anyone. But I will forever remember his presence and the intimidation I felt having to perform in front of Shoot and other industry professionals.
While I can’t necessarily make out how he’s doing it, I know exactly when he’s doing it and that to me is a problem. His first performance in my opinion was way more stellar. He looked way more nervous and I knew every time he was up to something.
I don’t know I’ve seen them blur that line before I think this was definitely a situation where we kind of think we know how it’s done, but you did it so beautifully you get the trophy. I definitely felt awkward with him. Leaving a loser after just being called the greatest sleight-of-hand magician in the world.
SALUDOS A TODOS DESDE ESPAÑA EL MAGO FRANLOF, DECIR QUE TIENE UNA MANIPULACIÓN EXCELENTE , SEGURO ESTOY QUE SERA UNOS DE LOS MEJORES ILUSIONISTAS DE CLOSE UP ,QUEDA COSAS POR CORREJIR EN MI HUMILDE OPINIÓN SOBRE LA PRIMERA FASE DE SU PRESENTACION HABIDO MOMENTOS DE AUTÉNTICA MAGIA SEGURO QUE SI LO PERFECCIONA SERA MAS MARAVILLOSO UN CORDIAL SALUDO
This fooled me. While I have some idea how a few things were done, the overall skill shown in doing these tricks was superb. I can't imagine the amount of time it takes to develop the needed skill yo do what Shoot Ogawa did.
Shoot Ogawa is a gem of a magician. Great humble human being on top of that. Meet him twice and was flabbergasted both times. One of the greatest magician ever.
