There’s another nice one here
Famous magical handshake by Koizumi 🙂
And here he is again 🙂
“If I move my left hand down, my right hand goes up ! Omoshiroi desu ne !!”
He also entered the Asian Painless Squeeze Contest… hard to say who’s winning here 🙂
Yes, it is true : I have 2 fingers !
Yes, it is true : I have 10 fingers ! 🙂
