This magician sometimes visited each pit to show various tricks at a small space in the pit and received tips from the audience. He delighted the children in the pit by mainly showing tricky smoking with smoking pipes or swallowing of a Japanese sword by hammering it into his throat. Most of the audience was children and he did not receive a lot of tips.
