Appearance

Youthful in looks, this hero leans fully into a stage magician's costume. A flowing cape, a covering mask, and a tall top hat make up his signature outfit, and a pet pigeon rides on his left shoulder as a constant companion.

Personality

There is little playfulness behind the showman's props. Magic Trick Man carries a stern, humorless attitude and regards lawbreakers as filth. During the underground gathering of criminals, both he and Blue Fire made clear they would strike down anyone who so much as tried a clever move, showing no reluctance to kill.

Abilities

His high standing in A-Class marks him as a genuinely capable fighter. Sitch went so far as to place his combat ability just short of the S-Class tier. His whole approach revolves around an assortment of illusions and tricks used to fool and wound whoever stands against him.

Among his methods are razor edged playing cards flung to slice at foes, and the Rainbow Smoke Screen, in which he vents smoke from his cane and whirls the cane to scatter a blinding cloud across the field. With Ferocious White Crows he unleashes a flock of birds from his hat that hunt his enemies for him and can even track targets through his own smoke. He can also spray a fluid at an opponent with a move called Magic Breath.

He first entered the story guarding Sitch, alongside Blue Fire and Heavy Tank Loincloth, while Sitch pitched a proposal to a hall packed with dangerous criminals. Ordered forward, he was the first to test himself against Garou and was swatted aside effortlessly. He later turned up at the Hero Association headquarters during Tatsumaki's clash with Apollo. By the time he was fighting the Forest Tribe in Y-City beside Dynamite Man, Ecolo G, and Reclusamurai, he had been demoted to Rank 11. That battle saw the heroes hemmed in until Tanktop Master's group arrived, with Genos ultimately rescuing everyone by wiping out Forest King and his tribe.
