This is a video of Liu Yiqian's egg magic performed in the Spring Festival Gala, everyone pay attention to listen between 4 minutes and 45 seconds to 5 minutes, and the dialogue is as follows:

Liu Yiqian: ".. Another egg, come, pick another one..."

Dong Qing: "Ah, now?" (At the same time, I took the microphone, and at this time I felt a little wrong when I watched the live broadcast, as if it meant that I shouldn't choose eggs now)

Liu Yiqian: "Pick one and pick one"

Dong Qing: ".. Is there a ring one... (The video can't be heard clearly, but it definitely says the 3 words "there is a ring")" (At this time, the microphone has been completely removed, at least 1 meter away from Dong Qin's mouth, but the CCTV 5.1 channel system is really awesome, and such a subtle sound is captured in this environment!

Liu Yiqian: "Oh, Egg Egg" (I feel that he is also nervous)

Dong Qing: ".. Now pick an egg.." (hesitant)

"Listening to Liu Yiqian's interview afterwards, he said that the magic trick was 6 minutes and 50 seconds during the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but when it came to the official performance, it took a full 8 or 9 minutes.

Mo Qi said with some regret: "As for how the ring disappeared, I can't rely on the blurry images on the Internet to tell you how it changed." Coins and eggs, in fact, the most difficult thing is not how to disappear, but how to get in? The host has told us that there is a "ring" in the egg, so this most difficult link will be revealed to the world. ”

In fact, to put it mildly, in this way, Liu Yiqian's magic cannot be called close-up magic, but needs a stage magic that supports it! Stage magic can achieve a very awesome effect because many people can cooperate together. Many well-known magic masters in the United States play stage magic that burns money. ”

Since he has already started to say it, in the final analysis, Mo Qi asked Tang Xiaoya to find a few videos, including Liu Yiqian's Lantern Festival magic, and continued to reveal the secret: "Starting from the shuffle, everyone pay attention, he hid the circle at the bottom, and shuffled the cards are all the upper ones, so the bottom one is the circle." ”

"As for the host, Miss Dong Qing? Unfortunately, it must still be To! No matter how much she swears, she is still To, she chose the first card, which is the bottom circle. ”

"The so-called drop ink, in fact, is not ink, but a chemical synthetic, and the colorless circle on the card after the reaction, showing a black circle, Liu Yiqian finally wiped the ink to show that it is really ink, but also proves that the drop of ink is not much consumption, the circle is not painted with ink. ”

Mo Qi took out another video and said: "This is Liu Yiqian's super poker prediction technique performed on Mango Satellite TV, and the magician first took out a roll of paper with a strap tied on it." Then tell everyone that now it's time to do a prophetic magic trick, and then take out a deck of poker. ”

He showed the audience that there was nothing wrong with the poker and divided it into two parts, asking the audience to choose one and wash the other as well. Next, the magician messes up the poker and places it on the left and right sides, and now asks the audience to take a little card from the left and turn it over and put it on the right. Turn the right card over and place it on the left, and so on until the audience is satisfied. Now the face and back of the card are shuffled. The magician put the cards together and set them aside. ”

Then came the beginning of the magic trick, Liu Yiqian asked the audience to open the paper scroll that was placed aside at the beginning, slowly unfolded, and some words appeared in the first line: In this deck of poker, there are 23 cards with their cards facing up. The audience counted the cards that were messy just now, and sure enough, there were 23 cards with their backs up. ”

The second step is to say that 11 of the 23 cards are black, and the audience counts the 23 cards and finds that there are 11 black cards. The audience began incredible. ”

"Looking down, the 11 cards of 3 are all even. The audience counted the 11 cards, and they were all even? No, there was a club! What's the matter, the magic failed?"

At that time, Liu Yiqian was also surprised, how could he fail? The magician looked down again, but did not write any words, until the bottom of the paper, and finally saw a line of small words: If the prophecy is wrong, the problem must be plum blossom 7!"

Mo Qi smiled: "In fact, this magic is not completely innovative, and it also draws on a lot of classic prophecy magic, in fact, the so-called prophecy is just a saying, and the focus is on studying the setting order and process before the performance." ”

"For example, in this magic trick, you need to prepare 11 black cards in advance, except for the club 7, which are all even numbers, and the other 12 arbitrary red cards. A written note with the same words written on it as in the effect. ”

"Put 11 black and 12 red cards together, put the other 31 cards together, put 23 ready cards on top, and 31 cards on the bottom. Pay attention to the demarcation and set up a marker. Usually a short card, use scissors to cut off a small part of a card, so that it becomes a short card. ”

"After asking the audience to check that there is no problem, divide the cards from the dividing line into two cards, face down, ask the audience to choose any one and shuffle the cards. Then the left side is turned over to get the right side, and the right card is turned over and placed on the left. Put it left and right until it looks messy and the audience thinks it's good. Now is the key!"

"Do you have to put the 23 cards you just remembered on the left or on the right? Turn the 31 cards on one side and put them on the other side, and it's now a mix of 23 cards with their heads up. No matter what the audience just flips it to, it will be the last look. ”

"I don't believe you can try it yourself, turn it over on the left and put it on the right, turn it over on the right and put it on the left, as long as you turn it over again when you close one of them together, if you have 21 cards on the left and 24 cards on the right, it looks messy after turning it left and right. But as long as you put the 24 flips together. Then the hand will have 24 cards up. ”

Mo Qi turned off the video and concluded: "According to my personal understanding, the so-called close-up magic only represents a distance from the audience, and no more than two meters is considered close-up magic. ”

"But there is a strict difference between technique magic and stage magic! Technique is the use of the simplest props, relying on techniques and creativity to produce magic, the most test of the level of magicians. ”

"Most of the stage magic relies on a variety of magic props, plus the cooperation of assistants and lighting and stage art, to create a shocking effect. But do you have to know, how much does it cost to burn a show like this?"

"David Copperfield is at least 10 million per game! This does not include other public relations and operating expenses! Chris Angel has performed a lot of escape magic, the most exaggerated is to blast the entire building, how much do you say it will cost?"

"Therefore, stage props magic is a game that can only be played by real tyrants!"

Mo Qi felt this point, he knew how expensive magic props are! The most common ones are hundreds, and the best ones are tens of thousands, and this is the entry level. Real professional magicians have to study props by themselves, gather all kinds of professionals to engage in scientific research, what physicists, chemists, industrial design, etc. are indispensable, how much does it cost to raise this group of people?

How much does it cost to waste every failure? How much does it cost to scrap a large prop after one use?

So the magic tricks are okay, a deck of poker, a few coins can be done, and the rest is hard practice. And the prop magic is really shocking, but every second is burning money, and only the top well-known magicians can play it!

This is also the two most controversial schools of thought in the magic circle, which have been criticized by each other since ancient times. Now with all kinds of media means, magic has begun to prevail, mainly because the audience can also participate and be more relatable, and this effect is what Mochi hopes to pursue.
