"My friend, Shigeo Takagi, is an excellent performer who shows a keen knowledge of magic with all its subtleties. His work is direct and to the point, with no superfluous moves. Even if you are acquainted with the various techniques, he will still deceive you. I greatly admire this Japanese wonder worker."
- Dai Vernon, Hollywood, California - February, 1990
