Japanese Tezuma Magic

Hi How are you?
I'm Shig.
I uploaded the Webcomic '4D Magician' at page 15 with difficulty.
I had to comment on the Tezuma in detail in the page.
It was no easy job for me to translate the explanation of Tezuma into English.
I stayed up all night translating.

In Japan, Western magic is the main stream now.
Japanese peculiar magic is called Tezuma and is on the verge of extinction.
Some famous programs of Tezuma are as follows.

Kochou no mai(Paper Butterfly)
"Kochou no mai(Paper butterfly)" is one of the most famous performances of Tezuma.
Butterflies which are made of paper hover over a sensu(a folding fan).

Thumb tie
First of all, the magician ties his thumbs with the strings.
Next, a sword goes through between his thumbs.
Strange to say, a sword doesn't cut the strings at all.

By the way, in the fourth cartoon panel we learn the surprising fact.
Gosh! Kurota the cat is the chief adviser of military affairs in Suzume army.
Is it all right?

Panorama

Hi, I am Shig.
I have been making the Webcomic '4D Magician' since last year.
And I uploaded the Webcomic '4D Magician' at page 14 just some time ago.

At first cartoon panel, I tried panoramic animation in the background.
Animals in the forest surround and threaten him.
Panoramic animation is effective to express the scene in a high state of tension.
But I am not satisfied with the workmanship.
Because a feeling of panoramic rotation is not expressed enough.
When I make panoramic animation next time, I will bear it in mind.

My webcomic is a multimedia comic.
So it is possible to introduce various ideas.
I am always happy when I make trials of various ideas.
But these works take time very much.
I am short of time.
