Chapter 348: Mochi's Resonance?
"I don't know what TBS has plans yet!"
Ono shook his head and said worriedly: "No matter what program they prepare, as long as Hiroyuki Sakai is here, the effect will definitely be good!" What's more, I've heard that there are not only Doctor Magic joining, but there is also a good chance that another well-known master will be involved. ”
Kazumiko was anxious and blurted out, "Who?" ”
"Masamichi Sato!"
"No, it won't!" Kazumiko exclaimed, habitually covering the cherry mouth with her hand, and said in surprise: "Cyril? Hasn't he been back in a foreign country for several years? ”
"Masamichi Sato!"
When Mo Qi heard this name, his expression became serious, he knew far more about this famous magician than the magic doctor!
Cyril, a super magician of the island nation, was born in Los Angeles to a father who is from the island country and a French mother. At the age of 10, he was fascinated by magic tricks and taught himself many techniques. He moved to Hollywood at the age of 12 and later became world-renowned for his incredible performances.
He brought the street magic show to the fullest, even the realm of mythology, which made countless street participants and video viewers feel a strong shock. Most viewers will have the feeling that traditional ideas have been subverted, and even wonder that this is not a "human" performance.
Ono nodded with a serious face, and confirmed: "The news should not be wrong, TBS has officially invited Sato, who is abroad, to return through Sakai." A few years ago, when there were all kinds of magic shows, the audience had lost interest in stage magic shows with specific lighting props, and the magic in people's minds seemed to be a visual deception from a certain viewing angle. ”
However, magic is not so superficial, and to prove that magicians can completely go out into the streets and calmly display themselves in the crowd, Cyri is the one who has set off a new climax of street magic. Although some of these magic tricks are not his originality, his calm and chic performances and novel content have made countless people begin to doubt the reality of this world. It may be through him that many islanders have begun to truly appreciate the charm of the magic world. ”
Mo Qi nodded, strictly speaking, Sato is the number one street magician in the island country! Liu Yiqian's influence is far less far-reaching than that of the other party. If you really want to compare, Sato Masamichi was no less popular in the island country than Liu Yiqian in the two most popular years in China!
Mo Qi has watched a lot of Sato's video shows before, and he once had a lot of respect for the mysterious and handsome magician, and many magic effects at that time are still talked about even by the current audience, which shows his creativity and level.
Of course, now after Onoichi said, since Sakamoto was the think-tank military advisor behind Sato back then, many of the ideas may have come from Doctor Magic. But no matter how good the idea is, it must be perfectly presented by the wonderful performance of the magician, so most of the credit still goes to Sato.
Ono sighed: "When Sato suddenly announced that he was leaving temporarily and going to a foreign country to continue his studies, it also caused a sensation at the time, and it was a representative of the rapid retreat. ”
"After a few years, he really disappeared from the audience's sight, and there has been no news of returning to China, and now he is finally coming back strongly, it seems that the guys on TBS are also fighting!"
In order to let Mo Qi know more about the strong enemies that may appear in the future, Ono found a lot of videos of Sato's street performances and handed them to him to study carefully. took out a specific document and asked Kazumiko to translate it in detail for Mochi to see.
It turned out that Masamichi Sato's parents divorced when he was a child, his father remarried, and he first came into contact with the world of magic through his stepmother's client, and on his tenth birthday, Cyril received a gift from his stepmother's client, ten magic classes from a magician named Anxra, and also got some modern Japanese magic videos.
Two years later, he discovered the Magic Castle's Magic Magic Course for Teens, he created a set of close magic tricks, and took part in the audition, he was angry when he was rejected, but it also became his motivation to step up his efforts. He bought some pigeons and created a stage show by picking up some decorative supplies from his stepmother's warehouse.
Six months later, he took the show to Magic Castle again. This time he successfully passed the audition. Magic Castle's classes accelerated Cyril's progress, and he performed his first paid performance.
Later, because of his behavioural problems at school, his mother confiscated all his props, and he dropped out of school, eventually staying in Tokyo during the transition and joining his father's apprenticeship, who soon went bankrupt, and 16-year-old Cyril began to busker and perform in bars. He has been interviewed and said: I can't find his stage!
When Mo Qi heard Kazumiko talk about this, his heart moved, and he actually had a feeling of sympathy for Sato Masayo! The two have similar backgrounds, both are forced by life, and live on the streets, one is in an island country, and the other is in China.
When he was seventeen years old, Cyril met a businessman named Yi and after watching his performance, he decided to work with Cyril, who was responsible for Cyril's daily living expenses for three years, and Cyril performed at parties, weddings, and hotels, including walk-around performances four to five times a week, and within two months, he had created a stage show and started performing.
Yi was amazed at how quickly he progressed and sent him to magic conventions in the United States and Germany to supplement his magic education. Sato also began to participate in various magic competitions. In July 1991 at the American Society of Magicians Congress in Las Vegas, he made it to the finals and received the Encouragement Award from Benjamin World Masters of Magic.
In 1992, he received the Rising Star Trophy from IBM for the mysterious Krieger Magic. In 1993, he was a finalist in an IBM competition in Quebec City, Canada. In the summer of the same year, he won second place in the Pacific Coast Magicians Association stage competition held in Vancouver, Canada. Since then, Cyril's magic peak has begun, TV programs, recorded DVDs, and performances of various sizes have become a key figure in changing the perception of magic among viewers in the island country.
Strictly speaking, the first magic trick after Mo Qi got the magic system was the idea of Masamichi Sato, who turned into a burger empty-handed. Not only did he make a burger out of a McDonald's billboard in full view of everyone on the streets, but the show was revamped again, and even the picture on the billboard disappeared at the same time as the burger appeared, causing a sensation at the time.
"Interesting, so interesting!"
After listening to Kazumiko's story, Moqi couldn't help but look excited and laughed. Ono looked at Mo Qi in surprise and asked at a loss, "Mo Qi-kun, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay! How could something happen to me? ”
Mochi stood up, patted Ono on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "I haven't been so excited in a long time!" Finally let me meet an interesting opponent, a competitor that will make my blood boil! ”
