About Trick
Trick ended on January 12, 2014. The series concluded after its third season on TV Asahi.
Trick was a Japanese comedy, crime, and mystery series that originally premiered on July 7, 2000. It was about Naoko Yamada, a 23-year-old magician who was often fired and struggled to pay her rent. When her boss showed her an ad from a physics professor who challenged anyone to prove magic was real, Naoko accepted the challenge to earn money. She then met Professor Ueda, a non-believer in magic, and together they uncovered tricks behind a local cult. Their humorous investigations, along with police officer Yabe, led to various mysteries, blending elements of "X-Files" and "Scooby-Doo".
The show starred Hiroshi Abe as Professor Ueda, Yukie Nakama as Naoko Yamada, Katsuhisa Namase as Kenzo Yabe, Yoko Nogiwa as Satomi Yamada, and Kazuki Maehara as Tatsuya Ishihara. The series had a runtime of 60 minutes per episode.
