1 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:42,130 Cyril taught me a lot about misdirection in magic. 2 00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:45,010 This idea of doing the unexpected— 3 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:47,390 when everyone's focused on the ordinary— 4 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,470 has become my thing. 5 00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:52,640 I'll use this as a base to create something interesting. 6 00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:00,070 It will take another week. 7 00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:03,240 So, stay excited. 8 00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:14,620 Jiro, let's show him this real quick. 9 00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:57,920 My elevator has "shu ha ri" written on it. 10 00:04:58,590 --> 00:04:59,840 Protect, 11 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,800 break, 12 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,840 leave. 13 00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:05,430 The meaning really clicked with me. 14 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,180 “Shu” means protection. 15 00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:13,560 It’s about following the rules and teachings. 16 00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:26,570 “Ha” is when you start to break those rules 17 00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:29,490 and find your own way. 18 00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:33,910 And then there’s “ri”, leaving. 19 00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:38,000 It is when you've totally mastered it 20 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,460 and can create your own new teachings. 21 00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:45,590 That’s when you’ve truly become a master. 22 00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:49,050 I think it’s an endless journey. 23 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:55,770 From there, new things are born. 24 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,140 There is a constant cycle of life and rebirth. 25 00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:20,520 And the butterfly act expresses all this with a 26 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,230 single piece of paper. 27 00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:49,670 There’s something I want to show David. 28 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:53,550 This is an old book on Tezuma. 29 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,800 Around 150 years ago. 30 00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:57,310 This is the butterfly. 31 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,290 Thank you. 32 00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:57,070 I come from a long line of samurai. 33 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:02,120 I held my first sword when I was five years old. 34 00:09:17,470 --> 00:09:19,890 It may look like I’m consciously moving 35 00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:22,010 my right and left hands. 36 00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:25,440 My hands are just moving naturally as I use the 37 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:27,400 looseness in my hip joints. 38 00:09:31,980 --> 00:09:33,990 It took me seven years. 39 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,780 [interpreter] It took me seven years. 40 00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:39,740 Seven years just for this. 41 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:02,350 My katana is where I feel spiritually at home. 42 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,560 I’ve been asked to cut all sorts of things. 43 00:10:16,030 --> 00:10:21,370 I now have six Guinness world records 44 00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:24,080 for cutting things with swords. 45 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,580 I also sliced 6mm BB gun bullets, 46 00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:30,960 flying at 350 kph. 47 00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:33,710 As the BB is flying toward me, 48 00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:35,380 I unsheathe the katana. 49 00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:36,380 And then I cut the BB. 50 00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:43,510 I'll show you for real. 51 00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:38,880 Extend your arms. 52 00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:41,550 That’s right. 53 00:12:41,710 --> 00:12:42,800 Yes, yes, okay. 54 00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:26,050 At first, I can't remember exactly what I broke, 55 00:13:26,050 --> 00:13:27,930 maybe a block. 56 00:13:27,930 --> 00:13:30,010 My master told me to do it on the spot, 57 00:13:30,010 --> 00:13:32,850 without any preparation. 58 00:13:32,850 --> 00:13:35,520 My little finger broke because I was inexperienced and 59 00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:37,730 did it poorly. 60 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,650 At that time, it did hurt, 61 00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:45,150 but the joy of breaking it was greater. 62 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,530 This part. 63 00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:50,530 Through to there. 64 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,690 Totally fine. 65 00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:20,690 I’m okay. 66 00:14:21,610 --> 00:14:26,860 In martial arts, there's a concept called "Toyama no me," 67 00:14:29,070 --> 00:14:35,750 which means you train to look beyond that point. 68 00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:38,920 Tell me when you’re ready. 69 00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:01,140 If you're aiming at a specific point 70 00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:03,400 and you only look at that point, you stop there. 71 00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:06,860 But if you look beyond that point, 72 00:15:06,860 --> 00:15:09,610 you naturally go through it. 73 00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:12,860 If I seriously go for it, 74 00:19:59,070 --> 00:20:00,940 It happens quickly. 75 00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:07,830 I feel like I'm quickly reaching my body's physical limit. 76 00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:12,000 This might sound like a bit of an exaggeration. 77 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,330 But basically, the more I drink, 78 00:20:13,330 --> 00:20:18,630 the closer I feel to death. 79 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,490 It hurts. 80 00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:51,580 The faster it is, 81 00:20:51,790 --> 00:20:53,160 the more painful it is. 82 00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:38,790 I think David has a very high psychological tolerance. 83 00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:43,050 His psychological threshold is higher than his physical limits. 84 00:22:09,030 --> 00:22:12,660 I don’t want to imagine what’s in my stomach. 85 00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:30,800 So, well... 86 00:22:55,910 --> 00:22:57,750 It doesn’t look easy. 87 00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:12,140 In terms of history, it can be traced back to 88 00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:15,260 at least the Edo period [1603-1868]. 89 00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,970 From historical documents, 90 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:21,150 we know they had eating competitions. 91 00:24:03,690 --> 00:24:06,020 It goes down faster if you don’t chew. 92 00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:19,580 You want it to get packed in tidily, like Tetris. 93 00:24:38,810 --> 00:24:42,520 Yeah, I discovered this technique. 94 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,770 It's become standard for all competitors to do it this way. 95 00:24:58,490 --> 00:25:00,330 Man, that makes me really happy to hear. 96 00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:08,000 Not many people around me can imagine what it's like. 97 00:25:08,290 --> 00:25:10,750 I’m happy to find a kindred spirit in what I’ve been 98 00:25:11,090 --> 00:25:15,180 doing alone for so long. 99 00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:02,070 Two of spades! 100 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,290 Let’s go.
