Illusionist

I was watching Ayu's appearance on Music Station to promote Born to Be, and during the talk segment she said she was working on an illusion for her tour with a famous Swiss illusionist.
My question: who is this illusionist, and what was the illusion?
She didn't want to talk about it much on the show yet, when she was asked if it was a disappearing trick she just answered "It's a secret".

Born To Be... era? Hm, would that be the (miss)understood or Secret tour?

(miss)understood did have an illusion trick though, at the end of STEP you when the guys were chained, and after a few-seconds blackout, this time the girls were in chains.

Tour of Secret also had a trick during Kiss o Kill where she used her double to play her role when she turns up on the cross later, but then again, it wasn't as amazing as the STEP you-Ladies Night trick.

I preferred the kiss o' kill trick.
But I didn't...really notice the STEP you/Ladies Night one. LOL. Shows how observant I am.

Honestly. :p
I'll have to watch them again later, to be fair I usually just listen to the music and go off and do other things.

@Yoake yeah, but I think I know the secret^^ Its quite easy actually I think, it seems to me like these things they are bond to can be opened at the back, when the light turns off, the female dancers open it, the males jump out, females jump in and the males close it again, that sounds realistic to me xD

I always thought it was cool with both the tricks. I was really fooled when I first saw the kiss o' kill performance.
