Chapter 7: The Challenge of the Freshman Dong Taishi
In fact, not only did Lin Feng know that there was a person from a magic family among the new students, but Taishi Dong also knew that a magician suddenly appeared among the old students. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a person from the magic world, Dong Taishi's understanding of magic is naturally not something that Lin Feng can compare.
The types of magic are broadly divided into:
1: Close-up magic (some random props can be completed)
2: Card magic (this is the most common, and it is also the one that likes more)
3: Silver Coin Magic (a small magic trick that has been passed down to the present day, which is very good)
4: Street magic (in fact, it was a type that was only divided in the later period, and the first four are very similar)
5: Psychic prophecy magic (this is actually very demanding, but many veterans don't take it seriously)
6: Stage magic (the kind that is common on TV, changing into pigeons, etc.)
7: Funny Magic (the most flamboyant and popular)
8: Big Illusion (e.g. David's Crossing the Wall, etc.)
9: Escape the Magic (Wonderful, Exciting)
10: TV magic (it is said that it evolved because of the development of television and online video)
Among them, the first four are actually close-up magic, stage magic, TV magic, and funny magic are all relatively common performance magic, and the most difficult of them are large-scale illusions and escape magic.
In ancient Chinese juggling, there is a typical large-scale illusion called "Immortal Suo", in which the performer throws one end of an ordinary rope into the air. Due to an incredible force, the end of the rope would stop in mid-air, but there would be nothing to be seen. So the little boy who was the assistant climbed to the highest point of the rope, and after a while he was gone. The performer then took out a long, narrow knife and swung it into the air, only to see the child's severed hands and feet, and finally his head and torso fell one by one, and there was a huge pile of blood on the ground at the foot of the rope in an instant. The performer recited a spell to restore the dismembered things to their original position, and the child arose and walked away, apparently not harming him in the slightest of the cruel torture.
Nowadays, it can be said that no magician can reproduce this magic perfectly, but the people who studied this magic trick finally came to the conclusion that the performer would hypnotize everyone in the scene through lighting, fog, etc., to produce this effect, which is the ultimate illusion.
Not to mention escape magic, underwater escape, fire escape, etc., etc., this kind of magic is extremely dangerous, I don't know how many magicians have died under this magic, but there are still people who are doing this kind of magic, just because it is exciting enough.
And most of the common ones we usually see are stage magic and close-up magic. These two types of magic are also considered to be the most suitable magic tricks for beginners. Because it is relatively inexpensive and less dangerous.
Dong Taishi is good at stage magic in the magic category, among them, drag show is his strongest project, he once changed his costume 8 times in a performance, and this also won him the gold medal in the Chinese Youth Magician Competition.
Of course, a person who is good at stage magic does not mean that he is poor at close-up magic, after all, everyone who learns magic starts from close-up magic.
Obviously, Dong Taishi's magic foundation is definitely solid. It's just that in recent years, most of his stage performances have been carried out, after all, in comparison, stage magic still requires the cooperation of lighting, stage art, etc., and it is also greater for himself to sharpen.
And the Dong family, as the top family of southern magic, everyone who dares to release it for the competition must have their own hand.
The genre of magic is divided into the southern and northern schools. The magic of the northern school has more dialogues and a heavier sense of discourse, but the techniques are relatively more brilliant, while the magic of the southern school is mostly giant stage performances, exquisite and gorgeous, and has strong imagination.
The North and South factions used to be fighting over who was stronger, and the two sides pinched each other fiercely, but as the boom of magic faded in recent years, life on both sides became more and more difficult, and there were fewer fights and pinching, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.
But factional warfare between the two still exists.
And the two top families of the north and south factions played a major role in this. Dong, Xiao, Huang, Chen.
Dong and Xiao are the leaders of the Southern School, and they have been passed down for more than five generations, and the heads of each generation are committed to new magic research, hoping to create a new kind of magic, of course, new kinds of magic have not come out, but new magic is constantly emerging.
The Huang and Chen families are super families of the northern faction, and their research on techniques is strict to the limit, if you can't keep dropping the coins in your hand under my nose, then you don't want to be a teacher.
There has always been a lot of fighting between the two factions, especially these four families, and the magic competition held by the state every year, they will send young magicians to compare, and the winning side will get a lot of resources (one of the four families will take a part, and the victory will take all of it).
Therefore, each family is dedicated to the cultivation of their own children. Strive to suppress the remaining three.
And the most famous of the Dong family's generation is naturally Dong Taishi, whose dress-up skills are unmatched among the younger generation.
This time the school's celebration was also directly approached by their homeroom teacher, hoping that he could perform on the stage again the performance "Rose Cocktail Party", which he won last year, and all the expenses were borne by the school.
In fact, his magic show is equivalent to being directly booked by the school as a quasi-finale project, if the school can successfully invite Chen Yang, a popular student from the school, then his magic is the penultimate performance, if Chen Yang can't come, then he is the finale of the school.
All this was planned in his heart, but suddenly it came out of the student union that a silent senior actually reported a magic trick, but according to those who have seen it, it is just some ordinary magic shows, that is, some common magic tricks, nothing surprising.
But he thought a little too much in his heart, is this a pit deliberately left by the Northern faction? I had never heard of such a person before, but as soon as I went to school, I was just about to perform such the first magic trick at the academy, and suddenly such a senior appeared?
It must be a foreshadowing left by the northern faction, and he may have expected that he would come to this university (his father has a relationship with the principal), so he specially prepared a senior to wait for him here, and when the time comes, he will perform on stage, but the ornamentation can't compare to him?
No, you can't sit still like this, just do it when you think of it, Mrs. Dong took out a pen and paper and wrote down three big words "Challenge Book"
