Haruki
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“You never understood... why we did this. The audience knows the truth. The world is simple, miserable, solid all the way through. But if you can fool them, even for a second... then you can make them wonder. And you get to see something very special. ... You really don't know. ... It was the look on their faces.”
– Robert Angier, The Prestige
Overview
Nakamura Haruki was born in Okinawa, to the wayward daughter of an influential businessman. He's here in town to track down his father.
Haruki's got some small fame, on youtube primarily, as a magician. He did have a stage act, but his partner recently ditched him to make it on her own.
While he appears to be in his teens, and gets carded all the time, he's older than he looks.
He likes rabbits and keeps several as pets.
Fame 1: Haruki has a youtube channel, a facebook page, and a now defunct website devoted to his previous double-act. While technically he's extremely good, there's little to distinguish his solo performances from any of the other hundreds, thousands, of magicians on youtube. He's in desperate need of a personal gimmick, or some sort of spark to bring his performances to life.
The most recent shows, linked to from his channel are an act he performed with a woman named Zelda. Their acts combined gamer and geek culture, lots of cosplay, and magic. Their most recent act involved performances with stuffed toys, rabbits dyed to look like pokemon, and pokeball props around the time of the Pokemon Go craze. Zelda was most certainly the creative talent, and charisma behind their show, whereas Haruki was far more technically minded. Zelda got frustrated at being called an assistant, and she's since struck out on her own.
