In April 2027, Japanese magician Keiichi Iwasaki plans to row across the Pacific Ocean, alone, from California toward Japan.

It will be the final chapter of a remarkable journey around the world, powered entirely by his own strength.

It started with two dollars

At 28, Keiichi left his job at his father's company in Japan with just 160 yen, roughly two dollars, and a simple thought:

“My life will soon be over before I do what I want to do.”

He promised to return in three years. More than two decades later, he is still making his way home.

His rule was simple: no planes, no engines. Just human power.

Along the way, he has crossed continents by bicycle, climbed Mount Everest after travelling there from sea level, and survived robberies, arrests, and extraordinary encounters.

“I wanted to see and feel everything with my own skin,” he say

Magic without borders

With little money, Keiichi turned his childhood passion for magic into a way of life.

Performing on streets around the world, he discovered something universal.

“Magic does not need words. A person in India and a person in Italy make the same face.”

His talent eventually took him to Britain's Got Talent, where he received the Golden Buzzer in 2022, and later to America's Got Talent: All-Stars.

But even with international recognition, he chose to continue his journey.

A life with less

Everything Keiichi owns must fit on his bicycle or inside his rowing boat.

“I carry very little. So everything I keep, I have chosen many times.”

Among those carefully chosen essentials is his ALLY razor.

“I like the weight of it, how it feels in my hand. It is simple, and I am sure it will last me a lifetime.”For someone who values simplicity, durability, and thoughtful design, every object must earn its place.

The final ocean

In 2023, Keiichi rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean, spending 106 days at sea without an engine or sail.

Now, the Pacific stands between him and home.

His planned 2027 crossing will take him thousands of kilometres across open water, alone, toward the country he left more than two decades ago.

“I did not have money. But I had a will.”

Keiichi's story is a reminder that extraordinary things often begin with a simple decision.

You don't need everything. Just the courage to begin.
