Chapter 20: The Shadowless Hand
In addition to occasionally looking at the surrounding scenery, Yun Yi was more thinking about what Cheng Lao had taught him in the past two days.
Cheng Lao didn't teach him any magic, but told him something related to magic.
For example, magic terminology, some taboos of magic and the performance form of magic are things that Yun Yi has learned for a long time.
He also explained to him a few magic tricks mixed with a little special function, saying that as long as it is a magic trick with a special function or a magic trick below the illusion, there is a solution.
For example, he told Cheng Lao about the escape magic of American super magician David Copperfield. At that time, he was shackled and handcuffed in an iron cage.
The cage is covered with a large white cover, and the lights inside are turned on, and the audience sees the figure of the magician struggling inside the cage. Then the assistant lit a fire, and when it was about to burn to the magician, he struggled but showed no sign of escape.
Until the flames burned on his body, the magician magically escaped from the iron cage and stood on the top of the iron cage!
After the old analysis, he learned that there were mechanisms on the magician's handcuffs, which were easy to open. In the moment of the cover, the magician had already unshackled his handcuffs and shackles, jumped out of the door behind the iron cage that could be opened, and all the performances were performed outside, using the shadow to deceive the audience. When the fire arrived, the magician quickly climbed to the top of the cage.
Of course, although this is a fake magic trick, the psychological quality and sensitivity of the skills in this kind of magic have very high requirements, and even if you know the magic principle, it is not so easy to learn.
And Cheng Lao believes that there are also special functions in this magic, and this David should be close to the level of a great magician.
There are so many chains, and when it is so short, if Cheng Lao doesn't use special functions, it may be difficult to escape.
After all, Cheng Lao has been out of this era for too long.
Yun Yi chatted with Zhang Mingming from time to time, took a cigarette from his hand from time to time, and smoked four or five cigarettes in an inexplicable state, and he didn't cough.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them had a casual meal outside and returned to the hotel.
At this time, the wedding scene had already been arranged, and thirty or forty tables had been set up in the huge venue, and more than 20 waiters were shuttling back and forth, making final preparations.
Yun Yi, Zhang Mingming and Zhao Xinming sat in the last corner against the wall.
Zhao Xinming is the on-site coordinator, and the people from the wedding planning department are not allowed to go to the table, and sitting there is just to coordinate the accidents related to the wedding process that may occur at the wedding scene.
Half an hour later, the guests had already entered one after another, taking their seats according to the names on the nameplates on the tables.
According to Zhao Xinming, the wedding banquet lasted from seven to half past ten.
The party was very lively, inviting a lot of well-known first-line or second-tier stars, and the host was also the eldest brother invited from a well-known satellite TV.
The banquet was more lively, the bride and groom walked the red carpet, introduced the love process, and the parents spoke, toasted, etc., and the noise was everywhere.
It is only after these paragraphs that some people slowly pay attention to the singing and dancing on stage or other programs.
The scene was really lively, and these dignitaries and dignitaries present had seen many celebrities and may have had a lot of personal friends, but most of them were able to see them so closely, and they still showed due enthusiasm.
Whenever a star performs a performance, there are always people who run up to take a group photo together, and there are also people who look at the female stars who can only be seen on TV or TV, showing an ambiguous smile.
Yun Yi has a very cold temperament and does not pay attention to these.
Zhao Mingming didn't pay much attention to these either, because it wasn't his domain.
Both of them focused on the magic performances of the three senior magicians.
Zhao Mingming is looking forward to it, and Yunyi is looking forward to it even more.
Yun Yi didn't know if Cheng Lao could really see some clues from the other party's magic performances after teaching him some of the things he had taught him in the past two days.
The difference between a junior magician and a senior magician is not just the distance of a certificate, but the gap in the understanding of magic and the means of expression.
Yun Yi is very self-aware, and he is still far from that distance, but it can't hide his enthusiasm for deconstructing the magic of the senior magician in the future.
What's more, Cheng Lao is by his side!
He touched the animatronic dog in his pocket, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
About an hour after the wedding show opened, with the introduction of the host, Zuo Wen, a senior close-up magician who had been looking forward to by Yun Yi and Zhao Mingming for a long time, finally appeared.
Zuo Wen, in his forties, is not tall, and he is very fair, not as burly as Chen Guangnian, and his face looks like a very kind person.
He is known as the "Shadowless Hand" in the circle and is a representative of domestic close-up magic.
There is a table on the table, and a piece of glass is standing on the table. He turned the table to face the glass, and in order to make people see clearly, he deliberately found a few people to come up to the stage to check if there was a problem, and even the groom was pulled up by him to make a "testimony".
With his rendering, the audience at the scene became excited, and their eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to see something clearly.
Yun Yi can confirm that this piece of glass is real from the picture of the TV, and a beam of light hits it, which is a little dazzling.
There are also several lanterns the size of broad beans on the table, and the light is reflected on the glass from the bottom to the bottom, neutralizing the light on the mirror, which is very beautiful.
On the other side of the glass, there was a taller table and a bottle of water.
Zuo Wen turns the table and faces the mirror towards him, allowing the viewer to see himself and the side of the mirror.
He raised his right hand, then slowly rolled up his sleeve, smiled at the crowd, and stared at the table, one hand darting into the glass.
At his rate, if he were stuck in a piece of real glass, at least three fingers would be broken.
Therefore, the audience couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and spoke in unison.
From the TV, the camera is very close to the tabletop and can be seen clearly.
Of course, everyone knew that there would be no accidents, and Zuo Wen's hand passed directly through the glass without the slightest hindrance, like piercing a transparent soap bubble.
Everyone knew that this magic trick was fake, but it was too realistic, and people couldn't see the slightest flaw at all, and they cheered.
When Zuo Wen's hand passed through the glass, he saw a playback of the set of shots just now on the TV, and it was slow. It's almost a frame-by-frame slideshow.
From the moment he got up to the time he shot and then through the glass, there was not a trace of delay, and the glass seemed to him as if it didn't exist.
The first fingers, the second fingers, the third fingers, and then the palm and wrist are all pierced through the glass, and there is not a trace of inappropriateness.
Zhao Mingming looked at the TV screen and said softly: "This glass is not fake, but there should be a mechanism on this glass, but I don't understand how to operate this mechanism." If he slips his hand over the glass, his other hand should operate the mechanism. ”
Yunyi didn't make a sound. After the experience taught by Cheng Lao yesterday combined with what he saw with his eyes, he had already guessed the principle of this magic trick.
