On September 19, 2009, Momentos Magic Bar in Takamatsu will close after 22 years of business. This is the magic bar were I worked for 2 years from 2004 to 2006. Mr. Momentos will move onto another business after the bar is closed. I own a great deal to Mr. Momentos, as he gave me my first big magic break in Japan by having me as a guest performer at his bar before I became a regular performer 3 times a week. During the time I was there is wife and assistant passed away in 2004 from cancer. In 2006 Mr. Momentos moved the bar to Nagoya for 2 years and then returned back to Takamatsu in the fall of 2008. The picture on the left is when Mr. Momentos took me to see Cyril’s show in Takamatsu. Many other great magicians got their magic bar experience from working in his magic bar. My Good friends. Shinotsuke, Jack Amano, and Terushita. We will miss Momentos and wish Mr. Momentos all the best in his next endeavor. This ends a magic era in Takamatsu.
