Showing Sleight of Hand and Loving it - Wayne Kawamoto

Thursday July 20, 2006
This article in Southern California’s Highlander newspaper profiles a local magician. Alright, it’s me. The newspaper wrote about my restaurant gigs where I perform magic. To offer credit where credit is due, the origami effect described in the article is my variation on Michael Close's "Ooh-Ah Bird." The linking ring routine is my take on Shoot Ogawa's "Ninja Rings." And the shuffle sequence is my version of Diamond Jim Tyler's, as described in his "Pocket Full of Miracles."
