Kohei Waseda早稲田 康平

A magician whose centre of gravity is table magic, but who works from street performance to the theatre stage. He is from Kumamoto, joined a magic society at university, and cut his teeth on countless school shows for children and corporate parties. He built up restaurant work on his own account, and after graduating began performing professionally at magic bars in Tokyo.

His work now centres on table magic at magic bars and restaurants in Tokyo. Beyond that he performs at parties and events of all kinds, on the street, aboard cruise ships and in theatres - he does not limit himself by place or genre. As well as performing, he takes commissions as a magic consultant for stage productions and novels, and teaches.

In 2014 he staged his first self-produced show, magic live “snap!”, at a theatre in Akihabara, and in 2015 his first solo live show, “bloom!”, at a small theatre in Nishi-Nippori. He continues to work energetically on the theme of theatre and magic together.
