Chapter 518: Forced Choice
"It's rude......
Willis was obviously out of shape, so he didn't pay attention to Anna's words at all, turned around and walked away. Zheng Bei wanted to ask what was going on, so he didn't talk to Anna, and left after Willis. Anna's well-intentioned suggestion was not answered at all, which really made Anna sigh that the two were really rude.
After sighing twice, Anna turned her head to look at Zheng Zheng, shook her head and smiled: "Mr. Zheng, wow...... I don't know how to say it, but what you're doing is amazing...... Is this the Chinese art of war? Let's celebrate with a bottle of champagne and tell me how you did it. You told me about your plan from the beginning, but there are a lot of important aspects that I haven't been able to figure out yet. ”
"Willing to answer your questions. Zheng Zheng said with a smile.
Anna had a bottle of champagne fetched, and the two of them sat facing each other. Anna raised her glass and said, "To celebrate the success of our plan, cheers." ”
"Cheers. ”
Putting down the wine glass, Anna said: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, now please tell me, how can you be sure that Willis's assistant, Zheng Bei, you are talking about, will definitely choose that Inca altar?"
Zheng Zheng put down his wine glass, thought for a while, and asked, "Mr. Anna, have you ever heard of the forced choice method in poker magic?"
The so-called forced choice method is a very basic magic technique. If it is said to be a technique, it is not very appropriate, because at the same time as the technique, there is also some guiding or compulsive psychological guidance for those who participate in magic. The significance of the forced choice method is that the spectator participating in the magic trick seems to be choosing the poker according to his own wishes, but he is actually forced by the magician to choose the cards set by the magician without realizing it. At its core, the forced choice method is to "make all the outcomes you don't want to be seen by others as they don't want them", which is to cut and control the choice, and then make all but the one you want unpopular.
One of the simplest magic tricks is to fold a card slightly to make a trace that can be felt by the card holder, and then insert the card into the card, shuffle it casually, and find the position of the card by feeling. If the stack of cards meets the required requirements, the licensee will be able to see the position of the card from the side of the pile.
After finding the position of this card, you can pick it up with your back to yourself, then pinch the other end of the playing card, turn the card over, and then release the card rhythmically. When a poker card bounces downwards like a fan blade, the holder can decide when to loosen a little bit slower depending on the position of the card he has found earlier.
To put it simply, the magician is to make the card stay in the eyes of the audience for a little longer than the other cards. And when people see the playing cards that keep bouncing down, they can see one of the cards relatively clearly in a series of unclear suits, then in the hearts of the audience, the impression of this card will be more profound than other cards.
When all the cards have bounced back into a flat stack, the magician can point out which card the audience has in mind - the card that he folded out a mark and then deliberately exposed to the viewer for a little longer.
If it looks like a very magical magic trick to the uninitiated, it has a bit of a telepathic meaning. But in the eyes of the uninitiated, this is nothing more than a simple application of the forced choice method.
And Zheng Zheng used this forced selection method.
Zheng Bei's train of thought, Zheng Zheng didn't dare to say that he could completely guess it, and he could guess it all. Although Zheng Zheng knows Zheng Bei very well, human beings are extremely complex animals, who knows if Zheng Bei will make any unexpected decisions on the spot?
Although Zheng Zheng can't predict Zheng Bei's temporary thoughts, Zheng Zheng can know what Zheng Bei wants. What he wanted was an antique that could show his own level of restoration of antiques, but also have a bright spot. If this requirement is not met, Zheng Bei will basically not consider it.
Therefore, Zheng Zheng had to find the card he wanted Zheng Beixuan to choose first, and then mix him into other cards.
On the day of the party, the person Anna said that Willis could not question, and at the same time had a deal with him, was Belize Walker. After Zheng Zheng confirmed the level of the altar sold by Belize Walker to Anna, he found five other antiques that did not meet Zheng Bei's requirements at all.
If you choose between these six things, the only thing that meets Zheng Bei's requirements is the Inca altar. And the seller of this Inca altar is something that Willis cannot question or even attack in person, his father's friend of life and death, Belize Walker.
At first glance, it looks like Zheng Bei and Willis were unlucky and kicked the iron plate. But a brief analysis of this matter can be found that Zheng Bei has fallen into the trap of forced selection method preset for him by Zheng Zheng from the beginning of looking at the five antiques.
If you look back, you will find that the mistakes made by Willis and Zheng Bei are very poor. But this is a conclusion that has been reached after it has happened, in reverse direction. And before Anna turned over the hole card of who the seller of the Inca altar was, even if Zheng Bei could find out that this matter was going on according to Zheng Zheng's intentions, he couldn't think of where Zheng Zheng's killer weapon was. And after seeing Zheng Zheng's killer move, it will already be settled.
It's a bit troublesome to explain the ideas and practices to Anna. So Zheng Zheng simply took a deck of playing cards and demonstrated the forced choice method for Anna on the spot, and then used this as an example to compare what happened just now, and finally made Anna completely understand.
"To be able to use magic skills to this extent, Mr. Zheng, your wisdom is really impressive...... Terrible. Holding a playing card, Anna sighed.
Zheng Zheng washed the cards in his hand and did not speak. What can he say? Can he say that this technique is just something he saw on the web when he was bored, and then changed it and applied it to specific things?
After Zheng Bei and Willis are completely pulled into this pit, the result of tomorrow's party will basically be decided. If Zheng Bei is lucky enough to spell out the Inca altar, he will be able to pass the level smoothly. However, a marked altar that has nothing to show and cannot be compared with the Sphinx restored by Zheng Zheng a week ago, it is really hard to say whether Kars can recognize Zheng Bei.
If Anna moves a little more in the middle, Kars, who sees that Willis is really not outstanding, will inevitably lean more towards Anna's side.
The two drank again, and Zheng Zheng returned to the hotel and slept until the next morning.
To be honest, Zheng Zheng really has no interest in tonight's party. Roughly what the result will be, Zheng Zheng knows better than anyone else, isn't it a waste of time to go there and stay there? But this yard is one yard, it's one thing to be interested or not, it's one thing to go or have to go, it's more appropriate to show up after all.
Anna should have been busy all day, so Zheng Zheng didn't contact Anna. It wasn't until late evening that he called Anna and figured out where the party would be.
The party was in another manor house in Anna, and the place was big enough and spacious enough to be tossed around. From this point of view, Anna is still relatively authentic, if you get it into the hall again, it is not easy to spread out so many stones of the Inca altar, and it is not convenient for Zhengbei to restore it. Although Anna didn't want Zheng Bei's recovery to go smoothly, he still wouldn't save this kind of thing he should do, lest others say that he was not doing things properly.
Zheng Zheng arrived late, and when he arrived, there were already all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the Anna Manor, which could be regarded as giving Zheng Tu a long insight.
Zheng Zheng called Anna, but no one answered. He pondered that Anna should be busy, so he simply walked in by himself, and the doormen knew him, so he didn't need to bother Anna.
The open space in the manor has been arranged, spotlights have been placed all around, and the white brush light is large to the open space of the manor, and the bright hall is not much different from the daytime.
When Zheng Zheng walked in, the light of a spotlight was deflected, and it hit Zheng Zheng at once.
The entrance to the manor is not in the range of spotlights, only a few small roadside lights. It's not pitch black, but it's definitely not bright. And after this light hit Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng, who was a little overwhelmed standing in the light, immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The people who came to this manor were all people who had attended the party last time, so everyone knew Zheng Zheng. As soon as Zheng Zheng appeared like this, those foreign friends who were extremely curious about him, but couldn't find a chance to chat with him more, surrounded Zheng Zheng with hula.
For a while, Zheng Zheng was surrounded by enthusiastic foreign friends, as well as various languages that Zheng Zheng couldn't understand.
Although he didn't understand it, Zheng Zheng also knew that these people had no malicious intentions, so he kept a smile on his face when he walked forward. What is good is that the light of the spotlight has been moving with Zheng Zheng and the people beside him, and it is difficult for Zheng Zheng not to attract attention.
Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that this light was definitely not a coincidence, it should have been arranged by Anna in advance, in order to create such an effect.
Zheng Zheng didn't expect this before. He didn't expect that Anna, such a person who seemed to be quite reliable, would get such an unreliable job...... Although the feeling of being watched by everyone is really good, Zheng Daguan is a low-key person after all, and such a high-profile is not Zheng Daguan's style.
