  • Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
  • Classic Edo magic, known as tezuma, is the captivating integration of illusion, traditional Japanese acting, musical performance, costumes and stories. Kohtaro Fujiyama, a product of Chiba University's Magic Circle and the eldest son of tezuma legend Shintaro Fujiyama, followed his father onto the professional stage in 2006. In 2012, he won the Japan Magic Association award for best magician for the third straight year, and recently took the grand prize at the Agency for Cultural Affairs Arts Festival. Kohtaro showcases his unique skills overseas as well, at venues that include Hollywood's Walk of Fame and the famed Magic Castle. In addition to performing, he passes on the secrets of the art as a tezuma instructor and practices acrobatics.

    Very good show and loved the music. I wish more cultures from around the world would be so kind to show us some of their traditions. Japan seems beautiful

    What a beautiful, and unique expression. Interesting to think how differently something as rudimentary as paper was used in the Japanese culture to tell stories. Not through a written or spoken language, but through a language that everyone can understand.

    3:46 I figured it out. When he puts the fan in his mouth, he is putting a piece of "magician's wax" in his mouth that he had already attached to the tissue (THINK OF IT LIKE A STRING) Thats how he controls it; it can only go so far from him. This is how magicians make cards boomerang around themselves

    Get this onto Fool Us, with Penn & Teller. I'd be fascinated to know if some Eastern traditional magic is outside their range (probably not). Even if they're aware of the slight of hand that's employed, the style and pacing of storytelling is so different here, you might have a shot at sliding something past them.
