The Magic Trader: Oi Magic Blends Finance and Entertainment in Unique Shows

In a groundbreaking initiative to promote the joys of investment, RES, a Tokyo-based financial education company led by CEO Kazuki Kodama, is launching a unique project that combines magic and finance. This initiative will feature a live magic show starring Oi Magic (real name: Kohei Oi), a magician who is revered both domestically and internationally in the world of coin magic. The inaugural show is set to take place at "BAR MY PLACE" in Bunkyo, Tokyo, with performances scheduled for September 9, 2025, at 9:00 PM and again at 10:00 PM.

A Magician Who Knows the Trading World

Oi Magic, who doubles as a trader by profession, will showcase his talent for coin magic, performing various acts including a captivating segment where paper transforms into money. This event promises to marry the worlds of investment and entertainment in an unprecedented manner, providing audiences with a unique experience unlike any other.

Combining his knowledge gained from the trading sphere with the sleight-of-hand skills honed as a magician, Oi Magic’s performances are meticulously crafted to engage audiences intellectually and sensorially. Rather than relying on flashy spectacles, he employs a finely calculated structure and delicate finger movements to hold the audience's attention.

The venue, "BAR MY PLACE," offers a serene environment for adults to unwind, making it an ideal setting for such captivating performances. Attendees will not only enjoy the magic but will also have the opportunity to interact with Oi Magic during a talk session after the performance.

The Magic Industry: A Thriving Art Form

Magic has solidified its status as a major entertainment genre in Western countries, with professional magicians being among the most sought-after entertainers. The global magic tournament, FISM, has highlighted the accomplishments of younger Japanese magicians who have won the prestigious Grand Prix, further amplifying interest in Japanese magic on the international stage.

Oi Magic, particularly celebrated in the realm of coin magic, has garnered a substantial following on social media, with over 5,000 followers on Instagram, a significant portion of whom are international fans. His artistry is well-appreciated by magicians and enthusiasts alike around the globe.
Not limited to performing, Oi Magic is also an innovative creator, distributing his work through platforms like Vanishing Inc., one of the world's largest magic companies, receiving praise for his uniqueness and exceptional skills.

Following this inaugural show, plans are in motion to host monthly events at various bars and pubs across Tokyo, making it accessible for many to partake in the delight of seeing Oi Magic perform live.
