Ogawa Opener: Here’s one of Shoot's go-to routines that still gets a workout in his performances today. You start by giving the deck a casual shuffle—because who doesn’t love a good shuffle? Then, as you riffle through the cards, you invite your spectator to call out “stop” whenever they feel the urge. You’ll genuinely stop exactly where they say, split the deck into two piles, and then—boom—four aces appear like they just couldn’t wait to show themselves! This is pure eye candy, and the best part? It practically works itself with minimal sleight of hand. It’s a fantastic opener that will fit seamlessly into any card routine, whether you’re in a cozy living room or a corporate boardroom. Trust us, this one’s going to stick with you for the long haul.
WHO IS SHOOT OGAWA
SHOOT OGAWA hails from Tokyo, Japan, where he fell head over heels for magic at the tender age of 10. Fast forward to 17, and he’s already snagged First Place in Stage Magic at the St. Louis Magic Jubilee and flown over to the U.S.
Since then, Shoot’s been busy dazzling audiences on all 7 continents—yes, even Antarctica. He’s bagged the Magic Castle's 'Close-Up Magician of the Year' title twice, making him the youngest to ever pull off that feat. He’s also been named the most popular Japanese entertainer in America and has won the 'Parlour Magician of the Year' and 'Stage Magician of the Year' awards at the Magic Castle not once, but twice each.
Shoot’s performances are a global phenomenon, and audiences can’t get enough of his impeccable magic delivery.
