Cyril Takayama: Collection of Japan Magic Trick Video Movie Clip
Cyril Takayama (セロ = Cyril and 高山 = Takayama) is an American born in 1975 to French-Japanese parents (father, Japan; mother, France). He speaks English as well as Japanese. Not sure if he can speak French. It all began at the 10th year of age when he started playing magic. At the age of 12, he became a junior member at Magic Castle academy at Hollywood, Los Angeles. At 19, he was awarded the first rank at Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (International Federation of Magic Societies) (FISM) Conference held in 横浜市（よこはまし） in year 1994. His magic is very well known, especially his burger magics that captures the audience eyes.
I put together his previous magic clips and latest magic videos here. Enjoy.

you still want to know how that rubber band trick works?
ok if you dont know ill tell you.
he has his index finger and thumb on the rubber band, on both hands.
then he tells you the bands cannot leave. this is just a distraction.
when he slides the band in all different directions and shows you the
bands cant escape, its still just a distraction.
the way it works is,
when he shows you that he cannot escape the bands,
he shows you in different ways it cant get out but……
when he has the bands touching from the centers of the two bands and pulls,
he does something.
this trick done with one hand, the other stays still.
the motion:
as youre pulling against the bands,
take your middle finger and slide it into the inside of the band of the side with
the index finger, basically now one side is held by thumb and other is held by
both index and middle finger
then, letting the middle finger take over, move your index finger to where
your thumb is.
slide your index finger inside the inside of the side of the band that the thumb held, basically what your hand looks like is middle finger on one side,
and both index and thumb on the other.
now, as youre lessening the bands (they were previously pulling apart)
now keep them together as you let go with your middle finger and simply
spread your thumb and index finger apart.
now, basically, you did it.
it is easier and is done quicker than you think with practice.
if you want you can e-mail me and i can show you some other trick similar to cyril’s

Really? That’s how it works. I didn’t pay much attention to Michael’s comment.
Now that you’ve confirmed the instruction, I may give it a try. 
Still, it’s hard to understand what Michael is saying…I mean…his sentences are hard to understand…
