Tezuma is a form of magic unique to Japan that uses tools and movements not seen in Western magic. Some of the captivating performances embody a Japanese outlook on life. Fujiyama Taijyu is one of the rare young successors of the art and has an impressive track record of becoming number 1 in Asia in an international magic competition. His wish is to show the entire world, the traditional Tezuma magic. In order to revive Tezuma, which took a backseat to Western magic after WWII, Fujiyama will be bringing back a long-lost performance. Come join us as we follow his challenge up the premiere.

Tezuma

One art not as often seen is Tezuma (literally approximated as “sleight of hand”), which is an art of magic passed down in Japan since ancient times. During the Edo period (1603-1868), the “lightning hands” of these magicians were highly praised, and they became sought after performers.
