"Hand Power," as he called his power, became a popular phrase.
He had liked juggling from his childhood and wanted to be a magician. Once he became an office worker, however, he quit his job to make his dream come true. When he was 23, he appeared on the stage of Pacific Coast American Magicians, that is called the "Olympiad of Magicians," as the first Japanese, and he won the championship in the close-up class.
Later he met the magician Amazing Randy and was greatly affected by him, so he made up his mind to be "a psychic entertainer."
