Chapter 45: Theoretical Knowledge About Magic

The magic industry is more limited than art schools, and there are only a few well-known magicians in China, and it is basically impossible to reach or surpass that level, which is also the reason for the gradual decline of magic.

Of course, magicians who come out of a magic family or spend money to make a name for themselves are a different matter.

But even so, there are still a lot of magic lovers, even if they don't make money by magic, they can attract more attention when they show their hands at parties or dates, so there are still a lot of magic training classes now.

With Yunyi's current level, it is more than enough to be a teacher in the training class, even if he has not been on stage or has taken the certificate, but the actual level is much higher than that of ordinary junior magicians, especially the understanding and penetration of some ancient magic techniques in the past month, in theory, it is almost comparable to this category of senior magicians.

There will be no senior magicians in the magic training class, and the teaching is some small magic tricks that have been circulating on the Internet for a long time, and it is not estimated that it violates the ethics of the industry, so being a teacher in the magic training class will not attract much attention.

Liren Town is not big, it is a small town below the county level, smaller than the county, much larger than the general town, and it is a more prosperous place, so here, there are five or six magic training classes that can be seen on the Internet.

Yunyi has no experience in looking for a job, has never written a resume, and does not know how to write any resume, but chose two training courses not far from his residence and sent an email, and then practiced his daily "projects" as usual.

Two days later, he received an interview call from a company called "Guancheng Magic Studio", asking him to come for an interview tomorrow afternoon, while there was no news from another larger "magic club", and it seemed that others looked down on him, a young man without a magician certificate.

After lunch the next day, Yun Yi was not worried about leaving Dabao at home alone, so he took him with him. From where Yunyi lives to Guancheng Magic Studio, it takes about fifteen minutes by bus, which is very close.

This magic studio is rented in a business office building, and it occupies a small space on the third floor, and there is no one at all during the day, not even the front desk.

After walking inside and asking a few times, a middle-aged man yawning came out, glanced at Yun Yi and Dabao, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but smiled at Yun Yi and said, "It's still early, the others haven't come over yet, under normal circumstances, the training teachers on our side only come at six o'clock in the afternoon and leave work at half past eleven in the evening." ”

Yun Yi snorted, didn't speak, took Dabao's hand and followed the man to a small office inside.

Judging from Yunyi's years of engaging in magic, a studio of this scale must be training-oriented, and occasionally take on a small commercial performance.

However, he doesn't care, he is now focusing on training, supplemented by making money, as long as he doesn't sit back and eat his old book, and the training in this studio is all at night and on weekends, which does not conflict much with his own practice.

The middle-aged man poured a glass of water for Yun Yi and Dabao and sat down, but he didn't say that because Yun Yi looked down on his expression at a young age, he always had a faint smile on his face, and he looked very kind.

"My name is Guan Cheng, and I am the person in charge of this studio, you can call me Brother Cheng. Guan Cheng didn't ask Yunyi's qualifications, but introduced himself first, "There are only three training teachers in our studio, including me, of course. Because the Spring Festival is approaching, there are more and more people learning magic, so I want to recruit a training teacher to open an extra class. ”

He looked at Yun Yi's unchanged expression, and then looked at the little fat man who had been tinkering with his mobile phone, still with a kind smile.

"I read your information and know that you haven't studied magic systematically, but since you can send an email to take the test, it means that you must have some understanding of magic. Guan Cheng glanced at Dabao, "I don't have any requirements for training teachers, I don't look at academic qualifications or certificates, as long as I understand magic and can teach simple magic." ”

Yun Yi understood that Guan Cheng said this, and wanted him to come up with something that could put it on the table, but after all, he rarely dealt with people, and he seemed a little cramped, so he asked, "Then what do you want to know?"

When he asked this, Guan Cheng was stunned, but he immediately burst out laughing.

Yun Yi has never been interviewed, of course he doesn't know the skills of the interview, he doesn't know that Guan Cheng asked such a thing, he wanted Yun Yi to show himself "what I can let you know", not to ask the examiner "what do you want to know".

Of course, Yun Yi also has his own reasons for asking, he is good at manipulation magic, and he has already surpassed most of the junior magicians in the manipulation category, and after this month's training, both technique and eyesight have improved considerably.

Although he had little contact with traditional magic before, through this period of time, his understanding of the ancient magic theory has reached a height of vision and thinking that he has never seen before.

Because of this, he wanted to know whether Guan Cheng wanted to see his pure technique or magic show or magic theory.

Guan Cheng laughed, judging from Yun Yi's age and current performance, he had already decided that this might be just a magic enthusiast, and he should be able to do a few small magic tricks, but he didn't seem to have the slightest experience.

But even so, Guan Cheng still didn't show any bad expression, but felt that this guy was a little cute, so he thought about it and said, "In that case, can you tell me what are the categories of magic according to principles and techniques?"

"The first category is the technique class, which is mainly based on manual techniques, there are also equipment classes, which are performed with cleverly designed organs, instruments, and props, and there are also psychological classes, which are performed according to the principles of psychology, and there is also the science and technology class, which is based on the knowledge of natural sciences such as chemistry and physics. Without even thinking about it, he blurted out.

He has been in the magic world for a few years, of course he knows these things, and he thinks that these things are known to anyone who is a magic enthusiast, so he thinks that this official question is very in-depth.

Of course, this answer will not surprise Guan Cheng, if a magic training teacher can't even answer this, it can only mean that this person is not as good as an ordinary magic enthusiast.

"What does SLEIGHT stand for in magic?" This is a relatively difficult question, it is a technique, a technique, of course, those who know English, but the average magic enthusiast will not delve into it, this term will only be used in the professional field of magic, and it is very rare, because most people will say that it is a technique.

"ANY MAGIC EFFECT ACHIEVED WITH BOTH HANDS CAN BE SAID TO BE SLEIGHT, WHICH IS GENERALLY A CONCEALMENT TECHNIQUE USED IN CLOSE-UP MAGIC SUCH AS CARDS AND COINS. Yun Yi looked at Guan Cheng and said lightly, "Of course, this technique can't be confused with the fancy tricks of those magic lovers. ”

Yun Yi's answer surprised Guan Cheng a little, he thought that Yun Yi would only say that SLEIGHT was just a magic trick, but he didn't expect him to be a lot richer.

At this time, Yun Yi had another layer of goodwill in Guan Cheng's heart, and he believed that the young man in front of him would be a good magic lover even if he was not a professional magician.

Of course, that alone doesn't justify hiring him.

"What's the void?"

"The layman who only knows how to watch but does not know the principles and techniques, that is, the average viewer. ”

"What about the trust?"

"The magician's performance was unsuccessful, but the audience didn't see it either. ”

"Control?"

Hearing Guan Cheng ask this question, Yun Yi was slightly shocked in his heart.

Because there is a saying mentioned in the analysis of magic magic, but this statement does not belong to the category of magic, and it is classified as a special function in the analysis of magic magic, that is, magicians can control living beings or dead things without using their hands.

Although there is no practice method for special functions in the analysis of magic methods, there are annotations for many magic tricks that cannot be explained by common sense, and in some theories, of course, the fields of special functions and illusions will be involved.

Dominating living beings is hypnotism such as Chen Guangnian. But to dominate dead things, even Chen Guangnian can't do it.

Because the kind of control mentioned in magic is not something that can be solved by illusion, it can only be done through special functions or Maoshan techniques.

However, in Yunyi's understanding, the special function and illusion are similar, and they should belong to the same level, but the form and method of use are different.
