Am I the only one who didn't think this was that impressive? I've seen much better street shows (though I like to attend busker festivals).
No, it wasn't very impressive.

He needs to practice alot more. I hate when magicians don't have a good command over their tricks.

It was imaginative and the timing (for the most part) was pretty good, but other than that, not really great. The tricks were all simplistic, as others have said, that basically rely on hiding things behind the IPad or simple sleight of hand (or camera tricks, there was a lot of camera work that involved making sure his hands or large parts of his body were out of shot).

The bird one was easy, it was in his jacket. Watch it again, you can see him prep the jacket (he opens it slightly with the thumb of his right hand) and then the bird comes out of it.

The last bit where he turned into a different guy blew my mind...
Why? They just paused and unpaused the camera, you can see the cut.
Yeah, it's a good cut, but you can see the hands change.

I wonder why they cut it, wouldn't changing the iPad on the fly be possible (though hard)?

But still, a cool video.
Fiddlesticks! My eyesight isn't what it used to be (though it wasn't that good to begin with), can any of ye youn' ones point out the exact timing of the cut? Was it the moment you could see that bold businessman in the reflection? I just though the second guy was waiting there with another iPad and blocked Shinya's face with it and then they swapped, cause I definitely didn't see "hands change".

Good show old boy, good show!
