PROFILE

Profile

The magician who created “shomajutsu”, a genre of his own that combines magic with comedy - stand-up magic comedy. He made his Hollywood debut in March 2012 and became a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

In April 2018 he was scouted by Toru Muranishi, known from the Netflix series The Naked Director, and began working in China as well. His singular stage character has taken him onto television and into hosting, film and musical theatre.

He is also involved in producing comedians and shows of various kinds. He now performs across Japan under the name Shomajutsu Entertainment.

STYLE

How he can appear

With a stage or with nothing but a floor. He can also take on the running of the programme itself.

Stage formatFacing the room

Performing from a stage or platform to the whole room. It suits seated events: anniversaries, celebration dinners and show restaurants.

Audience-ledBringing guests up

A guest is invited up and the magic happens in their own hands. He works your company name and the events of the day into the patter, so the moment belongs to that event alone.

With hostingTaking the whole event

As well as performing, he hosts. He can carry the whole programme from the toast through to the prize draw - ask us about it.
