Chapter 44: Playing Away

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Two helicopters circled around the Statue of Liberty, the nose lights illuminating the pier below, and a man in a serious suit, trench coat, gentleman's hat, and a bearded face stood in the spotlight, with a cane in one hand and a microphone in the other: "I'm Jimmy Kimmel, welcome to the Jimmy Feather Show!" ”

The audience erupted in boos and good-natured laughter.

"Alright! I'll admit it's not my show! Jimmy's eyebrows twitched, revealing a bitter melon face to the camera: "As long as I don't sit behind that damn desk in the studio, you're going to boo me, right?" ”

The audience laughed, and many whistled in response: "Yes! ”

"Well, it must be that my legs are too short to be blocked by a table!" Jimmy continues to laugh at himself, causing the audience to laugh again.

“OK! Actually, like you, I'm here to cheer! Trust me, I forfeit the $1 notice fee! Jimmy was serious and: "Alright! The true master of this stage tonight, my good friend, the great magician, Paul Pike! ”

The spotlight was moved to the edge of the stage, and a tall man jumped onto the stage, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

When Paul walked to his side, Jimmy said, "To be honest, I'm disappointed with the way you played!" My old friend! He shook his head: "I thought you were going to pop up next to me or pop up on the floor!" ”

"Oh! Sorry, maybe I'm too nervous tonight! Paul smiled, "But since that's what you're asking!" ”

After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and with a "bang", turned into a pile of cards, and disappeared!

The audience applauded enthusiastically, especially sitting in the first row, Paul's son, Pete.

"Hey! Old folk! Where are you hiding? Jimmy looked "nervous", took off his gentleman's hat, and trembled: "Is it here?" ”

The audience laughed like crazy and applauded desperately.

"Wait a minute! My back is a little itchy and makes me scratch! Jimmy lost his gentleman's hat, suddenly turned his head to glare at the photographer again, and said funny, "Turn around!" Want to secretly film me? I'm expensive! ”

To the laughter of the audience, he took off his trench coat, unbuttoned his suit, put his hand behind his back, and two seconds later, he smiled comfortably.

Suddenly, the trench coat in his other hand shook, detached from his palm like a bird, flew around the stage, and when it fell to the ground, all the audience eyes lit up, and Paul was already standing there, waving to the audience in Jimmy's trench coat!

The audience stood up and applauded.

"Don't get excited!" Jimmy walked over: "This is the warm-up!" He pressed his hand and motioned for the audience to calm down.

"Dear Paul!" Jimmy turned to Paul, "You know, I've wanted to learn magic for a long time, and that's why I've been friends with you!" But you have always refused to teach me, today in front of so many audiences, teach me one! ”

"Oh? Why do you want to learn magic? What do you want to be? Paul asked with a smile.

"Beauty and dollars, of course!" Jimmy's face was lewd.

The audience was amused by his expression again.

"Alright! No problem! Give me your cane first! Paul laughs.

Jimmy handed over his cane, Paul took it, played a few tricks in his hand, and then gave it back to Jimmy: "Have you seen Harry Potter?" Your staff is now a magic wand! I just saved some mana into it! ”

After saying that, Paul clapped his hands, and the staff moved two one-person-high boxes, and the sides of the boxes were pasted with very thin paper.

Go around the stage and show the audience that the box is empty, then put it up and place it in the center of the stage.

"Now, you shout your wish, and then use your magic wand to pierce the paper of the box, and your wish will come true!" Paul said.

“WOW!” Jimmy smiled, "Praise you!" Paul! You're a good friend! I wish our friendship a long time! ”

Jimmy "can't wait" rushes to the carton and shouts, "Beauty! I'm coming! Ha ha! ”

After saying that, the cane pierced the paper, and sure enough, a woman with a hot body and her back to Jimmy and the audience appeared inside!

Jimmy threw away his cane and hugged him, and the beauty suddenly turned around and startled Jimmy, who was smiling evilly: "Oh! Molly! Honey, why are you here?! Aren't you back in California? ”

That's right! This beauty is Jimmy's wife!

The audience leaned back in laughter and applauded desperately again.

"That's it!" Seeing Molly looking at Jimmy with a "bad face", Paul rounded up and said, "Jimmy, there's still a magic in the wand, won't you try it?" ”

"I give this power to my dear!" Jimmy, a good-looking man, handed his cane to his wife.

Molly took the cane and gently jerked it on Jimmy's ass before turning around and stabbing the second carton.

The spotlight shines on, and it's a bunch of dollars!

"Hahaha!" Jimmy rushed over, picked up a bundle of dollars, and kissed it: "Honey, we're rich!" ”

The audience booed again.

"Put it down!" Molly slapped Jimmy's money off: "On behalf of Paul, I'm donating this money to UNICEF!" With that, she turned to Paul and asked, "Is that okay?" ”

"Of course! Generous lady! That's your magic! Paul smiled.

The audience cheered, "Paul! "Paul!" "Paul!" The cries came one after another.

Paul watched the audience's reaction and smiled with satisfaction, now his philanthropic reputation will spread throughout the United States!

………………

Behind the stage, at the edge of the dock, a large red cloth was pulled down, revealing the contents of it: a large glass cube, and seven steel crates arranged in size.

"That's it! Ladies and gentlemen, Today is Paul's 20th anniversary in the magic industry! He's about to challenge his magic career! Jimmy took the microphone and presided over impassionedly.

"He's going to challenge the most classic and difficult escape magic of all time!" Jimmy walked over to the tin box and opened the lid to show the audience: "There are no mechanisms inside!" The box cannot be opened from the inside! And such a box will be set one by one, a total of 6 layers on the outside of the original box! The people in the props team all said that even the Steelbone Man couldn't escape, I want to say, I'm sorry, who is the Steelbone Hero? Iron Man's copycats? ”

The audience laughed and then booed - who doesn't know Cyborg these days? This Jimmy is really cheap.

Over there, Paul's hands had been sealed with quick-drying concrete, and his body had been tightly bound with chains, and several audience members had come up to the stage to check the props to make sure they were real.

Paul was packed into boxes, locked, and then layered up, and the crane lifted the boxes and placed them into the glass cube, and finally, the cube was sealed from above.

With Jimmy's command, the glass cube began to fill with water, and from now on, Paul had two minutes to escape!

There is a huge electronic screen next to the glass cube, and the timer begins!

There is an underwater microphone in the water, which can play underwater movements at any time.

"Knock knock!" The sound of the box crashing in the water kept coming, and everyone in the audience was holding their breath!

60 seconds passed......

90 seconds passed......

120 seconds passed......

The audience began to whisper, and through the glass they saw no sign of the iron box about to be opened, except for the increasingly rapid crashing sound that suggested that Paul was still alive.

As 200 seconds passed, the impact grew slower and weaker, and the audience finally realized that something was wrong.

"Hey! Hurry up and save people! An audience member shouted.

But Paul told the crew during the rehearsal not to take rescue measures for less than 350 seconds.

So the security guards and staff at the scene did not move.

300 seconds passed, and no sound could be heard in the water.

The staff were also a little panicked, and in order to be on the safe side, they started the rescue.

But tragedy happened, the pull ring on the outside of the lid of the cube broke, and now the cover is so tightly closed that it can't be opened at all! And all the outer walls of the cube are custom-made using bulletproof glass, and now they can only be opened from the inside!

Pete in the audience cried, after all, he was only a 9-year-old child.

"Cyborg! Appear like a manga hero! Please! Save my dad! He suddenly remembered the super hero he had seen tearing dinosaurs a few days ago, and begged in his heart.
