📷 My Main Camera (fast autofocus): amzn.to/2MwhPEA

Extra equipment
🔵 Tripod for camera: amzn.to/2U1O8Ri
🔵 Light Stand: amzn.to/3aawnoM
This light stand is kinda not sturdy enough because the light and soft box are so large; the whole thing can tip over easily. But it's what I use! 😆 Or you can perhaps find another light stand that is rated to hold more weight. Or just put something heavy (like sandbags) onto the bottom to lower the center of gravity.

I enjoyed it a lot! His skill at card manipulation was obvious...and it was so beautifully done! It also meant a lot to him to have fooled them too!
He has a photo of himself with Shawn Farquhar and Mac King!
👍
T hddh you noticed all the flashes?
Yo J! Just left us with one question. Can you explain it to us what is "Black Art'' really is??? and how does it works? Thanks so much!!!
What struck me was how confidently he presented himself during his performance, looking powerfully into the camera. I was not expecting that emotional reaction after having seen him perform so strongly. This was absolutely beautiful. I noticed a few things along the way, even without going back a second time to rewatch it. But I would love to see him perform live.
Josh, I heartily agree. The wonderful aspect of Japanese culture is humility. It is so refreshing to see. The audience felt the genuine release of emotion or a man who most likely practiced until (almost) flawless. (I say "almost" because with certain camera angles, one sees a card being held behind the other (and the glass in his back pocket, concealed underneath the jacket tail). What a beautiful performance.
I actually noticed he was a little bit nervous, this clearly means a lot to him. But I think he handled the situation amazingly well. Maybe a bad choice using a red card behind a white one? Even then, a really great perfomance.
I feel really happy with/for him ... so nice to see him happy this much ♡
It was his dream to be on Fool Us but his bigger dream was to actually fool them...hence his tears...dream coming true
Magic moment explained.
Japanese have this thing they do where if they do something wrong and have to apologize to people, they reeaaallllly exaggerate the emotions, otherwise it's not deemed as authentic. I imagine this was just a display of that same behavior to show he really is appreciative of fooling them. Didn't seem real to me.
@@digitalconsciousness there’s always one.
He’s very emotional because he’s also the very first Japanese magician in the show to have fooled them 😊
Ryan Hayashi
@@Heisoka Ryan Hayashi is Canadian
@@Heisoka Trust me I am a big fan of the show... Yukihiro Katayama is the first Japanese magician to win Fool Us =)
Is it! Anyway the act was marvelous. Happy to see he got the trophy.
Ryan Hayashi also went very emotional when fooling PnT. I think they are confident when performing and confident when showing emotions in appreciation. Like they can control the flow of emotions: keep them away or let them flow freely.
His reaction was gold. The emotion. What it means to him is life. This is someone who has been through a lot of adversity, dedication, practice, and humility to pursue his dream. Very beautiful routine. I loved that
30 seconds into the performance, and you just _know_ this is going to be an amazing one 🤯
Didn’t expect Algoexpert’s owner to be here
Planing to start some MagicExpert plateform ?
He reminds me Yu Hojin. The wine glass one is a nice touch of innovation though.
Hey Clement)). Nice to see you here
No matter how many times I've watched this performance, I always tear up with him at the end. That is pure magic and pure happiness that he has brought to me.
I don't care how he did it...this is amazing and wonderful to watch. To me, this is what I love about magic.
If it was some kind of origami thing, I definitely want to see how he did it, because that would be even more cool.
His performance gave me some Shin Lim's vibe. Dramatic, awesome music, no word, and really good.
I like his style even better Lim.Lim can be too dramatical for me
I wonder if these types of acts are more common in Asia (does the culture promote it?) or is it just that these types of acts are the ones that translate well for a predominately English speaking audience (both in person and on TV). For example, most Penn and Teller routines have significant dialogue (or monologue) that would lose a lot if you couldn't understand what they were saying or they were less strong with the language. There was one performer from Spain on Fool Us who commented on this issue, that he switched to miming his acts because the dialogue created issues for an international audience.
Mark Mak it gave me MAJOR Yu Hojin Fism Winning act vibes
@@88porpoise rule of thumb, when the magician is not talking, he's holding something in his mouth. Applicable to all magic acts. The music is just there so it isnt awkward silent.
Frzned9x Lots of magic acts are done without speaking. If someone like Penn is quiet, you assume there is a reason, but i would guess most of this guy’s acts involve very little speech.
You know whenever Penn doesn't speak in code and just starts stating methods directly, it's going to be a Fooler.
Sometimes he gives away a lot by not talking in code!
Old timer subscriber here! Was amazing to see Yukihiro's genuine emotional response at the end... he is now the first Japanese fooler! Loved his story about how he's adored magic since his class teacher vanished a piece of chalk when he was 6... no wonder he was so emotional. Beautiful backstory and performance, thanks for this Jason!
Damned onions. I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying! I think what you saw from Yukihiro at the end was an emotional release after months and months of extremely dedicated and very hard work. It's always a beautiful thing when one can take their technical talents and turn it into art.
That was one of the coolest reactions a fooler has ever had. Hands down. I have never seen a person from Japan hug another person in public. That was cool! The expression of emotion in that level of performance and after he won was amazing and I want to see more of him.
One of the very best acts, especially with no words and that Japanese approach. And then all guards are down as he gets a trofee! You can clearly see he manipulates something with a finger at the bottom of the glass each time he does something, but what? Electronics? I have no idea, but boy, I can watch this over and over again!
You are right, The sleight of hand was amazing regardless where the glass gimmick STEMMED from.
This comment needs more likes.
It was a great item, and I hope that he is able to invest a little more in its quality. It was too apparent there was something off about it.
@@icthulu Yes, the thumb motions required were too visible. Not that it is easy to see during the performance. Another case where I'm sure P&T knew what he did, just not how the stem worked. That's why they listed all those questions, to show they knew other ways, but not his way.
@@pl5bnsf Of course, that's why Penn listed ways that weren't (!) used (rotation, mirror, black theater). He knew that it was about top-notch juggling, which is not used much in our concept of "magic" and therefore he could communicate the mentioned ways without a "code", without putting the magician in an embarrassing situation - it's a show !!!
Looking forward to Jason Parker reacts to Jason Parker on "Fool Us" :)
I don't know if he'd be able to fool P&T but I sure know he wouldn't fool Jason Parker..
*A B S O L U T E L Y C A N N O T W A I T - I T I S V E R Y E X C I T I N G*
@@winslowtjiptadi6359 ..unsure how that might occur unless he was JP from a parrallel universe LOL ... 🤔
I'm glad Penn asked those questions because he eliminated a couple of my guesses. I have 1 more idea as far as the glass is concerned, but if it isn't that then I'm dumbfounded. I'm also glad he fooled them because that is the most genuine, purely happy reactions they've had and you can tell it really meant the world to him. However, my favorite part had to be when Penn told the translator to tell him very clearly that he fooled them and she exclaimed "YOU FOOLED THEM!"
The glas was cut in half I think.
How was he not twisting nor using mirror glass... OMG I'm even MORE impressed now!!
Probably because he's doing something else with the glass P & T did not ask.
I could sworn I saw him twist the glass but knew it would be hard to fool the crowd on the ends. Great trick
Possibly the best reaction to winning on the show. I also think it's awesome that the first trophy to someone from Japan went to someone so sweet and modest. Because I seem to recall others who explicitly said that they "want to earn the first trophy for Japan" who might of course still be alright people overall but at least didn't strike me as as nice.
One of the top 5 sleight of hand acts I've ever seen! Amazing!
Well that was ridiculously wholesome.
I've seen this performance quite a few times and every time I get to the part where Yukihiro gets emotional because of the winning, I get tears in my eyes; believe me, every single time. And every time I also get the same thought over and over, I just can't imagine how many hundreds of hours he spent to be able to performance this act in front of this two guys, the big sacrifice and nights without sleeping.
This man’s elegance and sensitivity pervades the visual image throughout. Honestly, the work that is into this act is incredible. I became emotional as he was able to answer no to all of Penn’s questions. ❤️
Yukihiro congrat so beautiful performance
Beautiful performance. As far as the cards "inside the glass"... pause and go frame-by-frame where the first one disappeared. He didn't take it out of the glass because there was never a card inside in the first place.
Jason cracks me up in the most subtle way and I love it lol
Absolutely stunning performance. And I liked that Japanese thing in the end.
I am impressed, he deserves it.
At the very end he seems to snap his fingers on the base of the glass at the exact moment the card vanishes...awesome act, trick glasses used to my eyes
This was truly elegant.
You are right, the way he is doing the cards appearing in the glass angle sensitive and we can see that at one point when the camera wasn't at the perfect angle.
His reaction!! Priceless!!
This performance was absolutly great and I love this young Yukihiro. It is so hard to preform in slow motion. Chapeau!
Awww... I started tearing up a bit.
That was really cool slide of hand magic. These kind of performances make magic so exciting!!!
This guy must feel like he has the world on a _string_ .... Stunning.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!! Amazing Skill and dedication to our Art!!!!!!
Clearly, he did well. It’s good Pen and Teller encouraged him. He deserved it. Congratulations!
Loved his tears. Amazing. Super genuine reaction.
A stunning performance!
I always wait for your reaction videos, they are just awesome.💕 I'm not a magician but I know for sure after watching your videos that I am able to understand magic. Thank you 🙌
The trick you showed was actually the first video of yours that I watched! Thanks for bringing back the good memories
I liked your interpretation of the fable. I also liked your alternate ending. The Farquhar interview was great. I hope it gets a lot of views.
What an absolutely precious moment.
my heart goes out to him such a passionate person
What an absolutely amazing performance. I was blown away. And I loved his reaction. He put on such an emotionally evocative performance, particularly for wonder and surprise, and it's really great to see performers allow themselves to be overcome with happiness when they fool P&T. Loved it loved it loved it.
That was amazing! He 100% deserved it! I loved his act and hoped that it fooled them! Great reactions from you as well Jason! Keep it up!
this video makes me cry, beautiful. Maldita cuarentena.
Beautiful music, loved the backdrop. His movements were smooth but watch his thumb at the base of the wine glass.
Yukihiro's routine was absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed that one and actually hearing a couple of my thoughts for how it was done discounted in Penn's questioning made it even better. I loved this one.
I like when it means something to the act. Also love it in general when magic makes magicians say 'wow' that's real magic for me.
Yay, another reaction! Haha, glad you reacted to this act, it was my fav by far :)
What a beautiful performance, and his humility is something we should all learn from.
I have watch this in slow mo and was able to see a couple of the gimmick he used. Still it's amazing the amount of control to be able to do the trick in an stage that size.
Great performance to watch just magical
His response said so much...and the crowd was another trophy he'll remember!
How could anyone not root for that guy. Beautiful act and he was so genuine in his reaction to fooling them.
He really appreciated the win and trophy. So nice to see all the hard work paid off. Well done Yukihiro!!
just fantastic...
I love your honest reactions.
I simply love when card magicians do these sort of mystical routines with soothing music. He is very talented, but I think the real magic is how he calmed me throughout. Felt like I was meditating.
I'm not sure I've ever seen something so mindblowing presented with such simplicity.
Awesome performance!
This was one of the craziest episode full of amazing magicians. Penn and Teller knew what he was doing. They were humble enough to be "humiliated" to not know how he did it (they know) and just wanted him to win because it was pure skill. If you put it in slow motion, you can see alot of what Yuki is doing. That just makes it crazier because he is doing that in real time with pure skill. These days, there's alot of products people can buy and showcase which is not frowned upon, but some neglect it so much that it doesn't really take any skill anymore (which becomes boring to watch). Yuki is the first Japanese Fool Us winner as well. Congrats!
Stop. They don't just "give trophies away to acts they like." That rhetoric is insulting both to P&T and the magicians that compete. It's an idiotic mindset and I'm fed up with it.
Totally agree with Nano Glitch, but beyond that, the art in creating an incredible prop is an art just as much as a perfect execution of dexterity is. And aside of those two arts there is the third art of coming up with an actual routine. You can give anybody a classical RS deck and they will perform the classical routine with it and it will look impressive, but it becomes an art when you built your own routine around it with your own story and presentation and possibly even with your own custom RS deck (and thus your own effect). Using an off-the-shelf gimmick doesn't make an act boring, an act is boring if the routine itself is boring and the effect is overdone.
I love this routine. Beautiful
I liked how colourful his performance was. Using a glas in combination with the cards is brilliant.
Man that was wholesome af. Brought a tear to my eye lol
So beautiful and so genuine
Jason: What a beautiful and elegant magical performance by Yukihero, I just loved it and he deserves his award and to perform in Las Vegas. It had a wonderful Asian old world feeling.
Amazing performance
Amazing act and a great reaction when he won!
great performer!! only by rewatching it I could see his glass is cut in half and it's open on his side! wow, plus it has some kind of mechanism that he can activate with the hand that he uses to hold it, and it allows the cards to move in a 90º degree angle to make them appear or disappear. Amazing
Love your positive attitude and respect for others' craft. Definitely willbe watching your channel
Awesome! Thank you!
After rewinding and rewatching, this trick gets more and more amazing. Can’t say I figured it out(but I do have a hunch, but even still the technicalities behind it are still baffling ), but that just makes it more fun to watch. But thumbs up to him. He did a good job!. I’m not a magician, but maybe some will get the code that I’m talking about.
Jason, it takes a lot of courage to use matches on stage. I'm so happy I can't measure it, that Yuki completed his performance.
He did it how beautiful
Yessss Jason I saw your trick earlier, amazing!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
This show is so much better with your commentary. Great show with true humility. I once gave up my seat in a hotel restaurant in Hong Kong to two Japanese ladies and we went through that bowing scene. I forgot how I got out of it but I do remember how good it felt and yes humbling.
awwww my god he was so grateful! おめでとう♥
Yukihiro Katayama totally deserves winning the Fool Us Trophy. I was absolutely amazed by his sleight of hand skills. I think the back of the glass was open. So, Yukihiro was able to put the card in the glass so quickly. I am trying to make a rhyme of the moral of the Aesop's fable: Best friends forever Live and die together
I caught that too...he has to hold the glass carefully or you can see that the back of the rim doesn't complete a circle
I saw some things but didn’t understand how it’s done, i know what he does but not how it’s done and how it works. Happy for him, his dream came true, and that’s great. Thank you sir for this magnificent magic act.
I’ve been waiting for the next reaction video! Thank you and yes I did smash like!
Yay! Thank you!
"Less talking, more magic" NEEDS to be a shirt!
That would be a great shirt.
That slide of hand is dope as heck damn
you just have to appreciate the skill and technique it takes to do what he dose , amazing performance if you were there live you probley would of not seen the flashes and a live performance of him would seem like real magic
Yukihiro: those were tears of VICTORY 🌟♥️🌟♦️🌟♠️🌟♣️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️
That was a great performance
If cards were fine wines Yukihiro is a _Sommelier Extraordinaire_
I enjoy your reactions very much. Technical and very appropriate!
Thank you kindly!
His performance was amazing! Also I haven't seen that trick in the beginning before.
He seems so innocent!
Just floated away.
This act reminds me of the 2012 French grand prix of magic with Yu ho Jin. Elegance in the extreme and Asian level magic. He's officially the first magician from Japan to get a FU trophy to take back home. Clearly it meant so much to him to get it. 👏🙂
Amazing, so Classy!!
The cameras from multiple angles in the show immediately gave the trick away for me at the start. But since Penn/Teller wouldn't have that advantage, I can see how they were fooled. Great trick.
I feel happy for him
This was a great performance.
Been watching your videos since quarantine! You are my inspiration. I’ve been practicing card tricks following your tutorials and Chris Ramsay’s... I WANT MORE! 😂 especially, I’d like to learn the two last moves you do in your intro! 😮
Thank you for reviewing the act! Great performance by Katayama. He placed 3rd in FISM Busan in the Manipulation category
