The Magical Atmosphere GeneratorProfessional magicians can want more magic in their lives, too. More than you want your audiences to think of you as the magic-person, you want to feel like a Magician.
Successfully fooling audiences with tricks and getting freak-out reactions is satisfying. But to the performer, the material can become mechanical and repetitive. They might feel like a salesman-trickster, not a gateway to Wonder. It is possible to perform magic while feeling like you're doing real magic for people. Not just doing a trick, not telling a story, not lying or merely amusing, but performing Magic. This feeling transcends daily life. It inspires creativity and imagination. Utilizing beautiful, rare, and robust tools to perform visual, direct magic is a powerful way to create a magical atmosphere wherever you perform. This shop offers conjurers resources to connect with this magical ideal. The tools and information we produce are about becoming a Magician, and conveying the feeling to your audiences clearly and directly. |

Who is Makoto?

On the hit television show, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, my featured routine was introduced by Alyson Hannigan as, "The Perfect Magic trick." Eric Evans, the legendary street magician and author of "The Secret Art of Magic," christened me, "the heir apparent to Cellini."
Starting at the age of 13, I have studied magic through an ever growing library of books and DVDs. My teenage years were spent diving down rabbit holes of specific effects, historical performers, and techniques. Through my college years, I street performed with magic across the country in my free time, learning from a variety of master magicians. In turn, I impressed them with my growing skills in coinistry, wand magic, and the cups and balls. Since then, I've diversified my skills and businessess, but always keep magic as my primary line of work. I have taught dozens of street magicians, as well as magicians from the Magic Castle. I have also lectured for SAM and IBM. Several of my students have gone on to perform at the Magic Castle.
