Shoot Ogawa


Ok this weekend was the annual trip to the Blackpool magic convention.
There was various high and low lights with the acts and performers.
By far the best lecture and performance was by Shoot Ogawa.
The lecture although late at night was heavily attended and Shoot demonstrated some super direct super clean magic with cards and coins.
What makes Shoots material super strong is the visual straight forwardness in the approach. During the lecture Shoot also demonstrated some old techniques like the Olram move, but it was super clean and a bit of a magician fooler.
Also Shoot also demonstrated a new ring move which was so cheeky as it was linking two rings while a spectator was holding one only to be examined.
Also Shoot has a very likeable character with a very charismatic sense of humour. This lecture alone was worth the price of admission as it was a great lesson in skill and timing.
Shoots horseshoe performance was nothing short of excellent. Performing coin effects followed by a vanished ring in card effect. Without giving too much away, using the muscle pass so effortlessly to vanish and transfer a coin is a thing of beauty (when Shoot does it)
Funnily enough in the Horseshoe third session shoot changed his act slightly and included a great little effect where he produced live goldfish in a glass. I have no clue why he changed his act but hey it was great to see.
