Chapter 383 - Card Skills

Mo Qi put down the information and suddenly received a call from Tang Xiaoya, saying that the fans of Moqi.com strongly asked to let Moqi interact online, after all, Moqi is now abroad, and the Magic Star Shine program has been broadcast, and fans will be lost if there is no attention for a long time. Updates are fast and ad-free.

Mo Qi returned to the room, asked Xiao Li to help, and began to interact on the forum. As soon as he appeared, fans were very excited, and they kept asking Mochi about his situation in the island country.

"Put the first two videos of the magic master on the forum for everyone to see!"

Mo Qi asked Su Yun to play the video and start magic teaching by himself, just now after watching the FISM master poker list, he had an idea, took out the poker and asked: "Everyone knows what is the most basic skill of poker magic?" ”

"It's supposed to be stealing cards, right?"

"Impossible, definitely PASS!"

"None of them are right, you can do a PASS without BREAK?"

Mo Qi looked at the fans' various speculations and said with a smile: "If you want me to say that the most basic thing in poker is to hold the cards!" ”

"Basically, most people hold cards with their left hand, and you have watched a lot of English teaching films, have you noticed? After the magicians have done a lot of actions, why haven't they sorted out the cards? ”

"I believe that people who are new to playing cards just cut a card, push the cards out of line, and then sort out the cards. The important thing to hold the card is to hold it steadily, you have to sort out the cards if you are not stable, which will immediately interrupt the interest of the audience, a magician can not even hold the cards in his hand, can you still say that he is a master? That's why I'm practicing my hand almost first thing every day! ”

"One of the most basic things is to take cards, and most people hold cards with their right hand. Drawing cards is a technique used when cutting cards, and it is often used in flower cutting. This is not to see if you hold it steadily, but to see how you hold it, we all know that the index finger must be on the back of the card, the reason is for convenience. ”

"I think the most basic technique is the double flip, the double flip looks easy to do but it is difficult, the double flip must be so that the audience doesn't know that you are doing the double flip under the nose of the audience."

"I've seen my master do magic, and I paid attention to his hand, not to him pushing two cards to make Blake! After the change, I asked him to do a double flip to show me, and it turned out that his movements were too small to notice. ”

"There are many kinds of double flips, everyone knows this, but I personally recommend that novices don't learn the kind of double flips used by Liu Yiqian! Instead, use your thumb to push two cards outwards to do Blake's kind of double flip, because that's what novices are best suited for. ”

"A lot of beginners often ask, why can I tell I'm taking two cards when I do a double flip? The reason is that the flop and the hand are not right! It is advisable to flip the top left and bottom right corners, as you can't see the two cards, but if you like to play cards, you can also play after the flop. ”

"Wow, it's all Mochi's experience, I'll write it down quickly!"

"Great, that's dry goods, say more!"

"Don't mess around, listen to you or Mochi?"

Moqi saw that some of his own thoughts were so popular? continued to share: "I usually practice the three basic techniques recommended by myself: holding cards, taking cards, and double flipping! ”

"The necessary techniques for performing on stage: Blake, hold the card with the left hand and press the card with the little finger, and use the thumb to hold the card with the right hand; dovetail shuffle or fake shuffle; Indian shuffle; Finally, there is a cut card, at least three cuts; a flower cut or a real cut false cut; Not to mention the control of cards, the use of the above shuffle and cut the cards on the good, it is best to cut the cards and then use the pigeon tail shuffle, so that the other party will think more messy, if the fake shuffle is proficient can also be used. ”

"As for the PASS, it's better to have a classical PASS; Change, it is recommended that novices use the way to push up to get the second card, and then choose according to the feeling of other proficiency; Elm Zhire, counting cards will be used, but depending on what magic trick you use, the method of counting cards for each magic is different, and it is chosen according to local conditions. ”

Moqi helped the beginners sort out the basic process of poker practice in one go, and concluded: "I don't know how everyone practices poker? Hard? Practicing while watching TV? Sleeping and practicing at the same time? ”

"I've always said that it's a mistake to practice poker! The so-called practice is not to ask you to practice hard, because every technique must have a skill, and this skill is different for everyone. ”

"For example, pass, everyone knows that it is not possible to practice with 52 cards at the beginning, so take 20 cards to practice, and increase the number of cards until they are cooked."

"Why do you know how to do this? Because you all know that you can't practice 52 cards hard, so just take 20 cards to practice, so it's important to "think". But have you noticed that there is a big difference in how everyone does passing? This is its own problem. ”

"For example, you do a poker trick, do a "double flip" action, and say: I have a 'one' card in my hand, which is the card you signed. Isn't this an attempt to cover up? You're telling the audience that you don't just have one card in your hand. ”

In this case, it's more natural to say: It's your signature, right? The wording is 100% true, and for the viewer, he or she agrees with his or her signature and not with the magician's words. Psychologically, you have succeeded in implementing the confusing misguidance method! ”

"The perspective of the actual performance is also divided into several ways, first of all, language induction, in the process of performance, the objective facts in front of you are described in concise language, and strive to get the audience's approval on every factual point, so that the audience will unconsciously produce thinking inertia psychologically, and at the same time, it will also have a sense of trust in the performer. For example, the poker magic trick of "ghosts" that will be taught to everyone in the future belongs to this form. ”

"During the performance, give the audience a description of what to expect. In this state, the audience's psychological interest will focus on the desired effect, that is, it will be misled by suggestion. The performer can calmly perform secret movements, and the magic trick of "cup through the table" belongs to this form. ”

"During the performance, the magician creates a brief memory in the viewer's psyche through repeated words or movements. This ephemeral memory occupies the audience's memory space at a moment, and the performer can use this time to perform corresponding secret actions. ”

When the final effect appears, the viewer's memory only contains the previous brief memories, so there is also a "memory illusion". The confessional steps in the magic show are the best moments to create the illusion of memory and perform secret movements, and the magic tricks of "Cup and Ball" and "Coin Matrix" belong to this form. ”

In the process of performance, the performer uses language or action to guide the audience's logical thinking to produce conceptual confusion, which leads to the associated "correct" logical conclusion, that is, self-affirmation. The magic of "interpenetrating rubber bands" belongs to this form. ”

"The magician invites the audience to participate in order to achieve a sense of self-trust in the audience's psyche, because everyone absolutely believes in their own sensory cognition. If the performer adds some slight physical contact at the right time, it will add another point of interest to the audience's mind, suggesting that the magic of the "sponge ball" belongs to this form.

Mo Qi was deeply touched and finally concluded: "A good magic show, if understood from the perspective of the audience, should feel a magical magic process, which naturally includes the final highlight effect. ”

"If we think about it from the perspective of the magician's design process, the magic show is a performance routine formed by the inset of various combinations of misquotation methods and techniques. The design of the process should have a progressive relationship, and at the same time, it should also be connected from the previous to the next, with a clear rhythm, many changes, and both virtual and real. ”

"The exquisitely designed routine is that when the magic show is finished, the audience feels that every link from beginning to end is reasonable and real, but the logic of reality cannot be reasoned with the result. On the other hand, starting from the results, it is impossible to reconstruct the entire performance process by using backwards, recursions, exclusions, and hypotheticals. ”

"It's like a labyrinth, there is only one path out of the right way, but in the maze there are intricate intersecting paths. This kind of magic trick can be called a classic! ”
