One of the most skilled sleight of hand artists in the world joins us this week from Japan: the outrageously talented Takumi Takahashi! We learn what it took him to meet and become the student of his biggest inspiration, how he went from hobbyist to a professional performer, and the wisdom he has gained on this journey. PLUS we get Takumi to drink his first sip of water in 5 YEARS(not kidding!)
NOTE: Takumi was gracious enough to perform some of his incredible magic for us LIVE, check out the full video on YouTube to be blown away: https://youtu.be/zenyGNZRIm8
