01:08 Good evening, or good afternoon, or for that matter,
01:11 good morning, depending on which international time zone
01:14 you're watching this in.
01:16 Well, the 33 of us are here in EMC Central in Portugal.
01:21 And we've completed five sessions,
01:23 and we still have four to go.
01:25 So far, we've seen some amazing magic
01:26 and some fascinating presentations.
01:29 But trust me, there's lots more to come.
01:31 Tonight, session six is truly an international affair.
01:35 We have one each from Finland, France, Germany, England,
01:41 Portugal, the United States, and Japan.
01:44 Lots to do, so let's just get started.
01:46 First, from Japan, Akira Fujii is a full-time professional
01:52 magician in Tokyo.
01:54 While he performs both stage and close-up magic,
01:57 we in the magic community probably know him best
01:59 for his work with cards, particularly the pass.
02:02 And he's here tonight to talk about that.
02:05 Please welcome, all the way from Japan, Akira Fujii.
02:08 First, I have to tell you I'm very happy to able to speak
02:26 here, in here.
02:27 And thank you, everyone.
02:30 OK, then I'm going to talk about two passes.
02:36 Two passes.
02:37 One is a muscle pass, and one is a classic pass.
02:43 OK, then I know my English is very poor, but I try to best.
02:58 Oh, no.
02:59 OK, first, I talk about muscle pass.
03:03 I got the idea to use the muscle pass as a hidden move
03:14 in 1991.
03:18 And I'm thinking of every move and many ideas.
03:31 Then, for example, one is--
03:40 OK, which one?
03:43 OK, please close.
03:44 OK, here.
03:51 This one?
03:52 Here, OK.
03:53 And one is like this.
03:55 Once again.
04:02 One is like this.
04:05 And one--
04:06 [APPLAUSE]
04:11 One is like this.
04:12 Then, I think the best one, best idea,
04:28 is a quick pass with a muscle pass, like this.
04:39 [APPLAUSE]
04:47 Normally, quick pass leave one coin.
04:54 But using muscle pass leave nothing.
04:59 And I can do this, also.
05:01 [INAUDIBLE]
05:04 [CLICKING]
05:08 [APPLAUSE]
05:14 Thank you.
05:15 Point is four things.
05:29 One is don't push to the palm before the muscle pass,
05:35 like this.
05:39 And don't use your thumb.
05:46 I show you behind.
05:47 OK.
05:58 More, yeah.
05:59 If you use thumb, it looks like this.
06:08 No good.
06:12 And do it slowly.
06:24 Just put on the coin, then turn.
06:31 Divide moving.
06:33 And don't need distance.
06:38 Don't need distance.
06:41 You don't have to do like this.
06:44 Just touch the thumb, palm, finger.
06:50 And click and turn.
06:54 Show you front.
06:57 One, two, three.
07:00 Like this.
07:02 It is not easy.
07:04 But if you do this, it will be your weapon.
07:17 OK.
07:18 Please try.
07:21 Please try.
07:22 Practice.
07:23 OK.
07:24 OK.
07:26 The next one is classic pass.
07:30 I read many book and watch many DVD about classic pass.
07:41 And sometimes I met great magicians, Derek Dingle, Bill
07:54 Malone, of course, Bill Karush, and Howard Schultzman.
08:04 Many people show me pass.
08:09 Then I give a small change to my classic pass about 20 years.
08:20 Then I've got the small answer.
08:25 I show you.
08:25 OK.
08:31 And here.
08:32 Here.
08:33 OK.
08:35 Oh.
08:36 OK.
08:38 Like this.
08:38 Once again.
08:45 Oh, thank you.
08:46 Yeah.
08:55 Something like that.
09:01 There is a point is there's no accent to-- oh, to the movement.
09:13 There's no accent.
09:15 That's like somebody do this.
09:17 Something feel.
09:25 Accent.
