Chapter 194: Second-hand?

Lu Fang analyzed: "At the same time as the floor is tilted, the black cloth that covers the Statue of Liberty is actually rising at the same time, and all the movements are controlled by the computer and operated slowly, and the audience cannot be aware of it because it is moving synchronously. When www.biquge.info black cloth falls, the audience can only see the empty sky above Lady Liberty, and Lady Liberty will magically disappear. ”

Speaking of which, Mo Qi also secretly sighed, it is still a foreigner who is creative, and he is willing to burn money! Twenty years ago, a magic trick dared to smash millions of dollars, can the effect be amazing?

"There was another magician who once shut himself in an ice cave for days and nights, without eating or drinking, and after removing the ice, he was unharmed. The ice cave is made up of huge ice cubes, and the whole process is monitored by cameras, and the magician has a medical monitor on his body, and the magician's heartbeat and breathing changes can be seen from the outside. ”

"I guess there is a switch under the floor of the ice cave, just enough for a person to climb up and down, and below is a very comfortable hut, and the magician finds a person who is as tall as himself, and sleeps under it to eat and drink, and when the magician is too cold to stand it, the person climbs up and stands behind him, and the magician changes positions with him, like a golden cicada shedding its shell."

"Changing like this repeatedly, the audience sees that the shadow has not changed at all, but the person has been replaced, and the monitoring instrument can also see the heartbeat of the person inside, but the real magician is already drinking wine and eating meat in the cellar!"

"Another classic magic trick that turns a truck weighing a few tons out of thin air!"

"Drive a huge truck to the stage, cover it with a huge iron cage, and when the audience can see it clearly, the iron cage is covered with a white curtain. Then ask the audience to hold hands in a large circle and surround the white curtain. Soon the white cloth fell from above, and the truck disappeared! ”

"The principle is that there are a lot of people in the truck, when the curtain comes down, the audience comes on stage, in the process of the audience circle, the people in the car come down, opposite the audience, the light shows their shadows, the audience thinks it is the shadow of the audience on stage, but in fact, it is the figure of the people inside."

"The rest of the truck quickly connected the iron cage with the truck, the iron cage can be moved, at the same time as the curtain was lowered, the lights changed, the iron cage and the people inside were all received in the car, the truck was hoisted above the stage by a huge crane, and the audience only saw the audience on the stage arm in arm in a circle, and the truck was gone."

"Of course, this magic trick is very similar to the magic method of crossing the Great Wall, covering the Statue of Liberty and covering the airplane, but you can't perform without money, you have to spend a lot of money to build a stage and make props, and hire a lot of assistants to help perform together, which is very expensive."

"The same principle is walking on water, it seems to be walking on the surface of the swimming pool, and the most amazing thing is that there are many people around to witness it, and some people can still swim under the water, proving that there is no mechanism!"

"To put it bluntly, it's all about trust! Together, the magician performs, and the rest is simple, build a transparent shelf in the swimming pool, and the camera uses a special angle to shoot, so that can achieve that magical effect. ”

Mo Qi nodded, several well-known magicians have their own private teams, and there are all kinds of lighting and stage camera props professionals. In addition, he is willing to spend money, millions of dollars are invested in a show, and once the effect comes out, selling the copyright casually is fame and fortune.

This time it is stage magic, due to various restrictions on the time and personnel of the venue, the program team only provides basic services, and the rest has to be prepared by the magicians themselves, especially the large props, which is the problem that needs to be solved immediately.

Lu Fang saw Mo Qi's thoughts and explained: "I have contacted a few friends, they have some ready-made props in their hands, although they are not the latest products, but they can also be used, we are pressed for time, why don't we rent them and use them first?" ”

Mo Qi nodded, this time, because not only did he go on stage, but at least the stars had to cooperate, and large props were necessary.

He thought it was more complicated, not only to shock the audience, but also to ensure the privacy of the system, which was more difficult than coming up with a magic idea. So prepare some large props first and do some tricks, Song Xintao also said that a confidentiality agreement should be signed in advance.

Even if it is a collaborative performance, the magician's unique method will be kept secret, and the star only knows some scratches. This is the same for several other people, everyone has the problem, how to choose the right show to go on stage is the test of experience.

The two of them discussed that they would go to Lu Fang's friends in the capital in the afternoon, rent some suitable props first, and then go to the magic shop to buy something that could be used, and quickly conceived a few processes to use in the first game.

At noon, the two of them had a casual meal, and then drove to contact their peers, and ran all afternoon to select some props that could be used, and there were a few large props, and finally had some inventory in hand.

The next day, the two inquired about a few magic prop shops and spent money to buy some usable props. Of course, this kind of shop is not a store in the mouth of ordinary enthusiasts, it is a high-level prop that can be used by senior magicians, and it can only be contacted through the introduction of acquaintances.

Since Liu Yiqian became popular in the Spring Festival Gala, manufacturers and agents of magic props have felt business opportunities and began to produce and promote magic props in large quantities, and even many magic props dealers have opened website forums to attract magic lovers in the name of magic teaching.

Of course, they have a strong business vision, and there is no denying that this group of people has succeeded. Chinese are not bad for money, and in 2009 everyone began to buy props frantically, to be precise, indiscriminately. In order to better learn the so-called magic, this creates a problem, the demand is far greater than the supply, many manufacturers start to produce defective products in large quantities, and when the defective products cannot meet the demand, they start to raise prices wildly. So much so that during the most popular period, 1 so-called "magic special rubber band" can be sold for 10 yuan, and its cost price is estimated to be no more than 5 jiao.

Merchants also like to add the word "magic special" to their props, such as magic special bands, magic special poker, magic special coins, magic special tablecloths, in fact, the so-called special rubber bands, just slightly better quality, elastic rubber bands.

The so-called dedicated poker is actually just a standard width and length of poker that can be used in all magic items, in fact, there are countless such pokers, such as all the pokers of the bicycle company, the poker of T11, and the standard size of the DD design. However, a dedicated one can double the selling price of the item.

For the general enthusiasts, the domestic Taobao basically can not buy real imported props, the so-called import may be some domestic quality products, the two are essentially no different, for some ordinary props, the domestic quality is also very good, the premise is to find a credibility of the magic props manufacturer.

Many magic poker card sellers often do this kind of thing, they often say, a certain card is suitable for opening a fan or a flower cut or playing cards, which is good, and even more so, a certain series of poker must be used to perform a certain magic trick.

Lu Fang collects poker from many companies, in his words, there is not so much difference in playing cards, the difference is only that there are big and small, hard and soft texture, smooth and rough surface.

It's better to look at the quality, most of the magic props are particularly well introduced, in fact? Take the Wizard of Oz as an example, it is indeed attractive, and after you buy it and spend dozens of dollars, what is it?

A deck of ordinary bicycle plates, half blue, half red, each with a little frosted on it, can attract the cards together. But as long as you play for a few hours, you can almost throw it away, because the scrub is out and you can't use it. And the real quality of this imported Wizard of Oz is very good and can be played for a long time, and it is not with this scrub.

Therefore, professional magicians can only go abroad to order high-end props, especially in island countries, where large-scale magic props are exhibited all over the world every year, and the scale is very large. For example, the most famous SkyOcean Magic Company, as well as SAM Company, UGM Magic Company, especially UGM also holds the Asian World Magic Symposium every year, which is one of the top magician gatherings in Asia.
