Chapter 379: The Prince of Magic

After returning to the hotel and settling her luggage, Inoue Rinko went home to visit her family, and several people got together to discuss this FISM, which was held in a different city each time, this time in Kyoto.

"The level of magic in the island country is still the first in Asia, just look at the attitude of FISM!"

Lu Fang sighed: "Basically, it is held in the island country every five years, and I remember that it has been held twice, and Osaka has also held it, this time in Kyoto. And it seems that our capital has only done it once, after all, the time to join the alliance is too short, and the influence is not enough, there is no way!"

Xiao Li asked curiously, "By the way, all those big names are coming to participate this time?"

Lu Fang smiled: "I looked at the official website, there is not much news, only a part of the guest list will be announced for the time being, but there is one person who is really big!"

"Who?"

"Prince of Magic, Lance Poton!"

"Lance Burton!" everyone exclaimed, and even Moqi was shocked, this time I could actually see him!

Kazumiko didn't know much about magic, and when she saw that Mo Qi reacted greatly, she was puzzled and asked, "He's very powerful?"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Li said excitedly: "Lance Burton, that's the second awesome character besides David, I didn't expect him to come?"

"It's also normal!" Mo Qi smiled: "After all, he made his FISM debut, and he slowly became famous after winning the championship, and he reached the peak of his life, and the other party's invitation naturally wanted to give face." ”

"Yes, Langseburton is the first person in American history to win the gold medal of the World Magician Competition, which is the highest honor in the field of magic, and he is known as the lucky man of magic. ”

Lu Fang said to the master magician: "His charming charm and incredible skills have made him the most beloved magician in the world, and his representative magic show is freehand magic, he once said that a magician, two hands, can create countless surprises." ”

"In his more than twenty-year magic career, he has won numerous world awards. Even the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas built a theater named after him at a cost of 27 million dollars, and the audience will be immersed in his magical magic world. ”

"So powerful?" Kazumiko covered her little hands, very surprised, being able to have her own private magic theater in Las Vegas is the highest honor for all magicians, which is much more awesome than any trophy!

Probably because he has been fond of magic since he was a child, in his performances, he always likes to find some children to assist him on stage, making the children very happy, and he himself is like a naughty boy, turning the scene into a happy magic world. ”

Lu Fang recalled: "I once watched him perform magic tricks, and as an audience member, I couldn't help but wonder: how did he do it? You will be amazed by his acting skills, and you will even think that it is better than a large-scale illusion magic trick." ”

"Sometimes you'll see his assistant magically disappear and then suddenly appear in places you never expect, like on a chandelier on the ceiling of a show, or in a crowd. Many of his props, such as pigeons, can also be seen disappearing, reappearing, or becoming something else. ”

"These magic tricks may seem simple, but they are full of skill. He's good at small magic tricks, and he's also good at big illusion magic. No matter what magic trick he performs, he is very good at creating a live atmosphere, so his performance is very popular. ”

Mo Qi nodded, strictly speaking, Lancebolton was his idol! The first magic trick was learned from the imitation master, he relied on the space ring, and the other party really relied on superb techniques to complete all kinds of incredible effects, this must be admitted.

Born into a family of farmers in Kentucky, Lance began his knowledge of magic when he was 6 years old. The magician did a trick called "The Miser's Dream", and watching him keep pulling silver coins out of his assistant's ear, Lance couldn't help but think, "What a great job to be, to make money and be popular with people!"

Lance became obsessed with magic and decided to make it his life's work. His neighbor gave him a book called "MagicMadeeasy", which introduced ten little tricks. Lance quickly learned and performed for his neighbors and friends for five cents each.

Lance really broke into the magic show industry because his mother gave him a set of "TV magic cards", and he followed the above method. Later on his birthday and Christmas, he received many gifts of magic devices. He spends all his money at the local magic shop to buy all kinds of the latest gadgets.

His enthusiasm and determination finally caught the attention of the master magician Harry Collins, and under the master's tutelage, Lance learned a lot of basic and technical knowledge. Harry's traditional teaching of magic had a great influence on him and laid the foundation for his future career.

Harry kept advising Lance not to blindly follow trends, to wear those colorful T-shirts and jeans, and to imitate the style of a famous magician like so many young magicians, it was only a fleeting trend that would eventually disappear.

So Lance bought his first tuxedo at the age of 14, and when he looks back on it now, he still can't help but laugh: "I didn't really look like a magician back then, but I had a tuxedo." ”

He later left his hometown for Southern California and participated in the "It's Magic" show, which raised his profile in the United States and gave him the opportunity to appear on the "Tonight Show" hosted by famous talk show host Johnny Carson.

A lot of magicians expect to be able to perform on Johnny Carson's show, and eight minutes is ideal. But Johnny Carson, a host who is passionate about magic, actually asks his assistant to help Lance with all the chores so that Lance can perform for 12 minutes. When Johnny Carson cheers loudly and declares to his audience that Lance's performance is the best he has ever seen, it propels Lance's career to a climax.

In 1982, Lance participated in the FISM competition in Switzerland, where he won the title of "World Champion Magician", and Lance was the first American and the youngest recipient to win this title.

For Lansburton, it's important that his performances live on, because he always wants to bring each of his new creations to the audience.

Even now, semi-retired, he is always mild-mannered, his smile is his magic trick – and so are many magicians, and that's the charm of Lancebolton.
