◆A show for the Tokyo Game Show 2026 International Party
The Tokyo Game Show 2026 "International Party" welcomes participants and industry guests who have gathered from countries around the world.
In addition to performing on stage, YOURI was also responsible for casting the magicians who performed on the night.
◆Wazuma meets illusion, themed "Beyond Borders"
Because the party welcomed guests from around the world, the show was built around the theme "Beyond Borders."
At its centre was a stage performance fusing Wazuma, the traditional Japanese art of magic, with modern illusion.
For guests from overseas, Wazuma offers a glimpse of culture found only in Japan. Combining it with modern illusion allowed the audience to experience both tradition and the present day within a single show.
Choosing the programme from the purpose of the event
When welcoming international guests, the value lies not only in the surprise itself but in giving guests an experience they could only have at an event held in Japan.
Selecting the programme around the event's purpose and its guests turns the show into an expression of the party's concept.
◆A stage performance delivered partly in English
On stage, YOURI performed Wazuma pieces and illusions while weaving English into the presentation.
Magic is a visual form of entertainment, but using English for the flow of the show and for interaction with the audience lets overseas guests follow along naturally.
Sharing a moment of wonder across languages and nationalities is one of magic's greatest strengths at an international event.
◆Table magic by four magicians after the stage show
After the stage show, four magicians went from table to table, performing close-up magic for guests to experience right in front of them.
After the whole room had shared one experience on stage, bringing magic up close to each table kept conversation flowing among guests throughout the party.
The value of entrusting both performance and casting
At a large party, the experience needs to reach not only the stage but also the many tables across the venue.
Handling both the main stage performance and the casting of the table magicians, as in this case, makes it easier to keep the theme and quality of the entire entertainment consistent.
For the organizer, it also reduces the work of booking multiple performers separately, while delivering entertainment unified under a single concept.
It was a special night in which guests from around the world enjoyed entertainment fusing Japanese tradition with modern magic.
◆Planning an international event or a party for overseas guests?
Receptions at international conferences and trade shows, and corporate parties welcoming overseas guests, call for entertainment that transcends language and offers an experience unique to an event held in Japan.
For a performance by magician YOURI, we propose a structure tailored to the purpose of your event and your guests, from a stage presentation in English and shows combining Japanese pieces such as Wazuma with illusion, to table magic by multiple magicians.
We are also happy to discuss the entertainment as a whole, including the casting of magicians as well as the stage performance.
