1.Has there ever been another performing venue that has tried to poach you? Were you tempted by other opportunities?

2. Doesn't performing at the same location for 14 years take a mental toll? How do you keep things interesting for yourself as a performer?

3. Do you have another passion no one really knows/asks about?

How did you managed to convince people to respect the dress code at your show? I'm guessing that at the begining there were people calling this thing a bulls***t (If I pay you the ticket, why do you care how I'm dressed, it's just a silly magic show, not the Oscar Awards). How did you do it?

Can you share about the process you go through when you add a new effect to your show? What does testing look like, scripting, etc.? Do you have a theme that you mold the trick to, or do you only choose an effect that already fits the theme? Basically what does that process look like for you?

1. As a fluent Japanese speaker and former resident of Japan, presumably you've read a lot of Japanese magic books. Are there any seminal texts that we in the English-speaking world are missing out on?

2. You've drawn inspiration from Hofzinser in your work. In your opinion, what are the key lessons Hofzinser has to teach a modern performer?

3. As "The Millionaire's Magician", you've clearly built a strong brand. Can you give any tips on branding for magicians, or maybe recommend some books to study on the subject?
