Cyril Takayama PET Bottle Trick

Bottled water is typically printed with expiration dates. Even if the water itself is pure, a plastic container may leak chemicals into the bottled water. Storage in cool and dark places helps reduce reactions. Industry associations claim “bottled water can be used indefinitely if stored properly.”

Since 2005 Cyril [Takayama] has been steadily increasing in popularity in Japan as well as on the internet, due to many of his magic shows being uploaded and viewed on the popular video-sharing site Youtube.

The name “Shibuya” (渋谷) is also used to refer to the central business district of Shibuya Ward, which surrounds Shibuya Station, one of Tokyo’s busiest railway stations. Shibuya is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.

Cyril Takayama Burger Illusion

Cyril [Takayama] is a former member of T.H.E.M. [Totally Hidden Extreme Magic], which was a short-lived TV series. On the show, a gang of street magicians set up various scenarios to lure unsuspecting targets. After the team bewildered their victims, they would reveal themselves to the target as one of T.H.E.M.

The second category [of street magic] is more appropriately called “guerilla magic” in that it is a relatively recent style of performing magic illusions where the magician performs a single trick or two in a public space (such as on a sidewalk) for an unsuspecting, unpaying audience. The desired effect of this “hit and run” style of magic is to give the audience a feeling that what they are seeing is impromptu, unrehearsed, and experimental. It is, however, highly debatable whether magic should be performed for people without asking or without being asked to do so.

Cyril Takayama Old Age Prank

Cyril Takayama (born 1973) is a Japanese/French American illusionist, born and raised in Hollywood, California. He is perhaps best known for his street magic performances in Japan. His father is of Okinawan descent, while his mother is French-Moroccan.

Like other postindustrial countries, Japan faces the problems associated with an aging population. In 1989, only 11.6 % of the population was sixty-five years or older, but projections were that 25.6 % would be in that age category by 2030. That shift will make Japan one of the world’s most elderly societies, and the change will have taken place in a shorter span of time than in any other country.
