Last night the guys I teach in Osaka took me to a magic bar called Vernon’s where you can be entertained by a magician at your table. The main magician at the bar was a TV celebrity known as ムッシュ・ピエール or Monsieur Pierr whose shtick is that he pretends to be French and says tres bien every time he completes a trick. He had us completely wrapped around his finger. Some of the tricks he was doing last night you can see in the following video but the video doesn’t really do him justice. When somebody performs this level of sleight of hand right under your nose it’s pretty impressive.  Anyway, I recommend Vernon’s Bar if you’re in Osaka. A very good evening’s entertainment.
