Chapter 7: Gambling on the Streets
One more day, it is the time for Mr. Giroud to perform on stage at the Tianyuan Opera House in Qingshen City, after all, he is a world-renowned magic celebrity, and it is indispensable to be promoted by various publicity in Qingshen City to enhance the city's popularity, after all, according to the intelligence information given by Du Niang, Giroud Francis has not performed many times in the UK, but every audience who has seen his magic tricks is impressed by his mysterious and gorgeous skills, and even the Queen of England is full of praise, worthy of the name of the first person in the British magic industry.

Despite this, Mr. Giroud has not performed abroad, even a superpower like the United States has only been to it once, and that performance was naturally a sensation in the audience, and was shocked by many audiences and celebrities in the magic world.
In addition, in recent years, Mr. Giroud has performed very few times, and the result is that a third-class seat at the bottom is also hard to find. This time came to the Celestial Empire to perform, and it is not the first choice is not the capital or the sea (a crab in the river), but a relatively not well-known light city, how can you not call those senior leaders to be ready for battle, in the face of this great opportunity to enhance the city's popularity, the Propaganda Department is full of power, the headlines of major TV newspapers are this news, and the effect of its propaganda is obvious, even many people who are not interested in magic have also gone to know a bit about Giroud's character under this brainwashing propaganda.
I was staring at the newspaper in the public reading section, which was full of the week's stories about tomorrow's magic show and the life of Giroud Francis. In all aspects of publicity, this old magician, who was originally known to few people in Light Body City, has also become familiar.
"Hey~ I don't know what would happen if I told me that my identity with Mr. Giroud was a master-apprentice relationship?" I chuckled my chin with my fingers in my hands.
Of course, no one believes it.
In short, thanks to it, the light body city has set off a wave of magic fever, many people go to the bookstore to read related books, for example, I went to the library to learn "simple and easy-to-understand modern magic" (Note 1), although it has not been formally practiced, but the principle and casting techniques are roughly understood, magic this thing looks quite mysterious, but when you understand the inside scenes, you will find that it is really simple to burst, and it is the audience's IQ that plays magic.
I know the truth, and I have a lot of faces.
"My dad just killed him. "I walked down the street humming a pop saliva song, and although I didn't understand what it was good about, since it was so popular, I naturally had to catch up with the fashion.
"Don't miss it when you pass by!"
Next to it, there was a bad advertising slogan used by merchants N years ago, but it was not a loss-making sale in a certain store for only N days, but a skinny, mouse-like uncle shouting there.
In front of him was a long, narrow wooden table with three paper cups upside down.
Joining in the excitement is the general psychology of the Chinese people, after hearing the shouting, many people surrounded it, out of curiosity I also came up to watch one or two.
Through the sensational introduction of the thin man, I instantly understood, it turned out to be a gambling game, the thin man took out a coin and put it in one of the paper cups, and then told the switch in the three paper cups, and then guessed which paper cup, guessing the win.
╮(╯▽╰)╭ It turned out to be a liar, really, old-fashioned, how could it be so obvious that Chiguoguo's scam could be......
"I'll try. One of the onlookers pulled out an old man's head.
=Mouth=Someone really got hit!
The man hesitated a little when he paid the money, but after gritting his teeth, he still became a bird, is this thing stupid, do you want to stop him?
I opened my mouth and glanced at the thin man who set up the game, I didn't immediately remind me, anyway, let's take a look at the situation first.
The thin man pinched the coin as if it were for everyone to see clearly, and then put it in the paper cup, and then switched the position of the paper cup from slow to fast, and the gambling man stared at the paper cup he identified without blinking.
When stopped, he pointed firmly at the paper cup that he believed was hiding the coin.
"Are you sure, don't you change it!"
Nima's tone and expression, how can it make me think of the host of a real variety show.
"Then let's see how lucky this guest is. ”
The paper cup was uncovered, the gambler guessed correctly, and the thin man congratulated him with a half-distressed and half-sigh: "You won this game." ”
Then the gambler rejoiced and got two old men's heads, and went away with a happy face.
Eh, let's go!? Don't you continue to gamble?
There have been a lot of similar scams on TV, how can such an obvious and red fruit process be......
"I'll try it too!"
Men came up and pressed down the old man's head.
=口=Someone is really fooled.,It's impossible to be a nursery again this time.。
It turns out that the three of them are indeed not childcare, two of them lost a fine light, and one of them earned.
Although some people are not convinced, the thin man insists that you don't see it clearly. It's true that this thin man's hand speed is very fast, and ordinary people have the illusion of seeing dazzling eyes, so it's understandable that he didn't see it clearly.
"Hehe~" I laughed unscrupulously, maybe my fortune has come, and it just so happens that my pocket money is not enough to spend recently.
As the number of times increased, more and more people participated in the gambling game, from seven or eight to more than a dozen, and everyone won and lost.
As a result, after seven or eight rounds, my shriveled waist pocket instantly bulged, hahaha, a bumper harvest, making money is really TM simple~ I smiled proudly, and laughed proudly~
In fact, the trick is very simple, although it is a one-in-one chance, but the thin man obviously used some kind of magic trick to change the coin into the paper cup with the least bet, and of course occasionally change the paper cup with more bets to continue to attract people.
And I only invest a little bit of money in each bet that people don't care about, in front of the paper cup with the least bet, under the bonus effect of their own lucky EX, it adds up to a lot, and it will be earned.
Of course, I still understand the principle of accepting when I see a good one, otherwise I may be entangled in trouble, and when everyone is not paying attention at the beginning of a new game, I took the opportunity to sneak away, and just a few steps out of the back I heard a loud sound of the table being slammed.
"TMD return Lao Tzu's money, otherwise Lao Tzu will open your liar's stall!"
"Hey~" I tilted my head at a 45-degree angle in my new house, I knew it was a liar, and you still gambled on a ball, isn't this self-inflicted, and according to experience, this kind of gambling person should not be only that thin person, but a gang, rather than being so unrelentingly angry, calling the police is the king.
I licked the lollipop I carried with me with disdain, it was so sweet.
Sure enough, the two began to argue without saying a word, and began to push and shove, everyone began to retreat, and looked lively without caring about themselves, I caught a glimpse of a few onlookers in the crowd with cold faces as if they wanted to step forward to "persuade", including the nursery who "won the bet" at the beginning.
At this time, an old man with white hair suddenly walked out of the crowd, although he looked skinny on the outside, his eyes were big and bright, like an old man full of wisdom, and everyone looked at him with curiosity.
Without him, because the old man was a foreigner, and I was instantly messy.
=口=Teacher, why did you pop up!?
