"I've met a lot of poker enthusiasts, and I like to say to the audience: So I'll show you the first card, it's not yours, right?"

"I don't understand, but this kind of thing that the audience can see is inexplicably emphasized, I really don't know why?"

Mochi explained: "It sounds like to the audience, well, you flip it and it looks like it's the first one, but it could be something else. Or go and get a card and put it on the table and say I'm putting this card on the table now. Dear, this kind of thing the audience is not blind, there is no need to deliberately emphasize, this kind of behavior will only make the audience think that you changed the card, just put it on it! ”

"Humorous language often plays a more important role in magic than technique, such as implicit suggestion, pulling your hand away and looking at the viewer when doing the coin transfer effect. That's it, no need to touch, I hope you can see clearly how the coin passed. Because you've done the trick, talking about it will make him even more suspicious. ”

To put it simply, if he started to pay attention at this moment, he was dead. Try not to just explain your actions and your effects, and when the magic is going on, you don't have to keep saying, "Look, I'll put the cards down, and then the other way around, shake them" and so on, words like this can be reduced, because the audience can see and understand, and it is better to use language that is as easy and fun as possible and can bring the audience closer. ”

"For example, the simplest way to change a card, turn it over, look at the cards, and say, 'Hey, friend, do you know about imagination? I'd like to share with you some of the things I've found, like if you keep imagining a card, you'll find that everything changes the way you imagined, like this.

"This seems to me to be much better than what you say: you see I have a card, turn it over, well, rub it slowly, and you see it will become your card."

"A lot of people don't understand what compulsion really means, and it's not about FORCE or anything like that, but about compulsive memory. Many enthusiasts like to take out something that needs to be emphasized and explain it themselves. ”

"For example, when playing poker magic, the color source is contagious, and enthusiasts will say that each card on the front is different, and every card on the back is the same, and they keep cutting the cards. Actually, I'm trying to say, how many viewers would think there's something wrong with that deck? ”

"There's a very convenient way to take the cards out of the box and put them on the table, and that's enough. You don't need to stress about it, you can tell him something about your magic, like: I've been discovering something interesting about color recently, so I want to share with you what I found, well, maybe I need a deck of playing cards. ”

"During the period of your story, because you took out the cards and put them on the table, the audience's attention was already on them, and a blue poker deck was already deeply imprinted in his mind, and there was no need to use a suspicious display to keep repeating that the front side is not the same and the back is the same."

"One time when I was getting a haircut, the barber handed me a bottle of hair-making things and asked me to hold it, and the amazing thing was that I had a special psychology that forced me to see what was written on it, you know, even if that person highly recommended and praised what the product was, you wouldn't necessarily remember it, but I remembered it at the time, just a dozen seconds he gave me."

"Later, I used this idea in magic, obsessive memory, when I need the audience to remember him, I just need to hold it in my hand and put it under their noses, or let them take it, the text on it, the color will basically have a very deep impression on them."

"The real magician has to learn to forgive your audience. Everyone is intellectually curious, everyone is curious about something, and there's nothing wrong with your audience, they just want to satisfy their knowledge of the unknown. This kind of audience with too much intellectual curiosity is called Aoke. ”

"Actually, there are two kinds of oaks, one is the one I just mentioned, and the other is that I think I'm very good, I'm not interested in magic, but I want to smash your field and let the eyes fall on me. If you meet the latter, then leave him alone and let him go. "I've seen such an experience before, there was an audience who always felt that he knew everything, and he kept reading, and the audience around him was very annoyed with him, and the magician suddenly became angry with the audience, but then all the audience took their resentment on the magician."

"And I only did one thing, shook hands with him: you're right, you're very good, I'll tell you a very good magician, yes, over there, go out and turn right. The audience laughed, and no one thought I was chasing him away except himself, and then ignored him. I didn't care what he said next, and after a few minutes he felt bored and left, because his aura of wanting to attract people's attention had been forcibly stripped away. ”

"Of course, it's a misfortune to meet this kind of audience, but if you meet the former. It's fine if you handle it properly, and if you don't handle it properly, you're dead. I believe someone watched a show called What to Start a Business or something some time ago, a magic enthusiast went to perform magic, just because the judges said that I think there is a problem that you didn't shuffle. ”

With that, he began to curse the audience. In the face of such a magician, I can only say a word of naivety in my heart. Is it wrong for the audience to say this? If you don't wash it, you don't wash it, and you say that this is art, and you say that this is a big reason, but as a result, the more and more stones are accumulated, and finally you hit yourself. ”

"A lot of people in the audience have this curiosity, like, can I look at your cards? What's going on with that thing? This kind of audience curiosity is reasonable, but it has to be understood, and the audience also wants to watch this magic show, and they are also having fun, and you just get it right, you have to get to know your audience.

"One of the hardest things about becoming a professional magician is learning how to get rid of all the suspicious movements! It's something I like to do, because I don't like the audience to have room to associate and want them to believe what is going on, so I do it exactly like I normally do. ”

"For example, I don't like to wash my hands when the coin disappears, because if the coin is gone, I can just open my hand to show him, why do it? I have no other reason than to look good, so I try to show it as clearly as possible beforehand, at least in their impression that there is nothing in my other hand, and I don't have the feeling of wanting to hide it later, just put it on the table, or take something in front of him, and the audience will dispel his thoughts, he will not think that such a bold thing will hide a coin in his hand. ”

"So put away all those show-off tricks, even though those things are awesome. Believe me, as long as there is a suspicious place, the audience will keep thinking about that place, for example, you are doing PASS, and the audience feels a little unnatural, then the performance must fail. From this moment on, the audience will always remember that you are unnatural or uncomfortable, and the rest of the magic effects are probably largely due to the unnaturalness of the place, although he may not necessarily say it at the time. ”

"Believing that magic is art is just an idea in the eyes of us enthusiasts and magicians. And the audience is more inclined to classify magic as entertainment, and if you want the audience to believe in magic, don't give them so much room for reverie. If you really do it perfectly and make them happy, they will naturally agree with you, but until then you can entertain them and at the same time actually have something they can't normally see. I like to include some storylines because it resonates better with the audience, and without resonance there is no magic. ”
