Cyril Takayama Magic – Japanese Fast Food Freshness Burger Hamburger Trick セロ

June 3, 2008 by 1 Comment

This was the first exposure I had of Cyril early in 2007 and I immediately was mesmerized with his magic. Watching this scene I was thinking “Man, I wish I could do that!” (and don’t we all!!).

I think they were in front of a MOS burger shop when he did this trick. All my friends I’ve shown this to were in awe when they saw it. From then on I’ve had a lot of love and respect for Cyril’s magic. David Blain and Cris Angel are both great (but a little eerie) although David Blain is doing some strange magic or “stunts” nowadays.

UPDATE! This shop was not a MOS burger shop but a Freshness Burger (フレッシュネスバーガー) fast food shop.

Here is an image of the Freshness Burger Cheeseburger (not that exact one!) that Cyril ate!:
