Chapter 3: Magic Forum

In autumn, drought thunder is not common and not accidental.

In some people's hearts, the thunder of tonight is a kind of war drum that breaks some peace, and may herald the beginning of a new upheaval.

Yun Yi had never seen a dry thunder, but he had never seen such a wild thunder that seemed to hit him, and he had never seen the lightning that almost came close to him, and the crater that was struck by lightning.

Now, after he came back to his senses, he only felt that half of his body was in pain, and he should have been hit by a lot of cement blocks washed up by lightning. Standing in place and slowly moving his body, he felt that there should be no other major problems except pain, so he quickly left.

Yunyi rented a house in the old town, and the renovated walls still looked new. The house is more than ten square meters, and in the living room, in addition to an old sofa, there is only a workbench against the wall. There are many things on the workbench, but they are neatly arranged.

Yun Yi hadn't read much, and since he got into magic, he had bought almost all the magic primer books, or spent a day in the library when he was fine.

In the past, when he was in the theater lounge with other magicians' assistants, he often heard people talk about the origin and allusions of magic, and he listened very carefully, and he also heard other people tell legends about special functions and illusions, as for the person who said that special functions and illusions are absolutely true, they are not verifiable in reality, and it seems to be a false rumor.

Yunyi has checked a lot of books on hypnosis and special functions in the library, and there are also many documented cases at home and abroad.

Not to mention illusions, even if it is a special function, it is only a legend in the magic circle, and it has only been seen in movies or television. Although there are reports on the Internet, it is a long time ago.

Yun Yi took a bath and prepared to soak his clothes in a basin to wash, and when he habitually took out the items in the pockets of his coat and clothes, he found that there was an extra circuit board the size of a palm, and the tentacles seemed to have a warm feeling, and there was a faint smell of burning.

"Which guy stuffed me with such a circuit board, and what kind of magic props are here?" In the circle of magician assistants, especially in the area of repairing magic props, Yunyi belongs to the kind that is famous. Of course, it is limited to the primary magic props, and the advanced magician props are not accessible to him at the moment.

Many times, some peers in the circle who can't repair or haven't repaired magic props or chips, most of them will ask him to help take a look, he has several discarded magic chips at home, and some people secretly stuff completely broken chips into his backpack like a prank.

Large-scale magic props have long been widely used chips, and the more sophisticated the props are, the more rigorous the requirements for chips, no one will use the previous circuit board, let alone the kind of circuit board like the landline?

Yun Yi threw the circuit board on the workbench, soaked the clothes in the basin and planned to wash them later, then walked to the room and opened the second-hand computer that he had bought for half a year, and logged on to the previous magic forum website.

This website called "Legendary Magic Forum" is a highly professional magic website where magic enthusiasts or professional magicians gather across the country, in which there are all kinds of Chinese and foreign magic videos, covering manipulation, psychology, technology, and equipment magic.

In addition to answering questions, this magic forum can also answer questions from other magicians or magic enthusiasts to earn money. All magicians can pay for points to ask questions, and as long as someone can answer, they can get points for the corresponding question.

The points obtained in the Legend Magic Forum can be exchanged for the equivalent value of RMB or the corresponding magic props, and all the magic props exchanged here are made by this website and will not flow to the market.

The Legend Magic Forum will also buy any magic trick that has not been performed outside for a long time, and the price ranges from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands.

In China, there are many such magic forums, but when it comes to professional and authoritative magic forums, there are only a few. This type of magic forum is a platform for beginner magicians or magic enthusiasts to interact with each other.

There is also a special feature on the Legend Magic Forum, which allows magicians to demystify magic enthusiasts who ask questions here for a fee, of course, only one or two keywords will be prompted, and the whole process will not be decrypted.

Because, demystification is a common taboo in the entire magic world!

Almost all of the people who often soak in magic websites are ordinary magic enthusiasts or magic enthusiasts or junior magicians. In order to attract members, the Legend Magic Forum will hold a magic tasting meeting every quarter, so that all members can show their innovative magic tricks here, and only then will it arouse the interest of some senior magicians, maybe they can see the magic tricks that make their eyes shine, even if they don't buy it, they can refer to it, and basically will not set foot here.

Every day, hundreds of questions about magic are asked on the Legendary Magic Forum, and hundreds of magic tricks are answered every day.

Looking at the questions displayed on the computer screen scrolling from time to time or being answered, there is always a sense of powerlessness for Yunyi, who is "not deeply involved in the world".

Yun Yi looked at the primary area, and with his current theoretical level, he could basically only answer questions in the primary area.

He was able to answer about 60 percent of the questions in the beginner section, which were very simple questions from beginners, and most of them could be answered by simply buying a copy of "Introduction to the Fundamentals of Magic" at a bookstore.

For example, some people have suggested "how to spit out cards", or "how to disappear coins" and other small magic tricks.

The points for solving magic questions in the primary area are not the same as those in the advanced area, and the questions in the primary area are given a certain price by the website reviewers according to the degree of difficulty, which is generally only within one to five points, that is, about one to five yuan.

There is a group of people on the website who are waiting to answer the question, and when someone asks a question, they immediately rush to answer, of course, because of professional ethics, they simply say the keywords or props needed in the question, and the reviewer will directly transfer the points to the member account who answers the question, and then you can redeem it as needed.

Forty percent of the questions can only give ambiguous answers to Yunyi's current knowledge of magic. He had tried to answer this kind of magic question before, but he could only score one or two out of ten, and he was also banned for five days by the management as a random answer.

Therefore, Yunyi suspects that the management of this website is very likely to be a senior magician, or close to the level of a senior magician.

As for the magic problems in the advanced area, he didn't know anything about them, such as "what is the principle of stopping the rain in the air?", "how to achieve hypnosis and control?", etc., and there are also questions about "phoenix swallowing books" in traditional tricks that have long become legends in the magic world. The price of this magic trick is generally in the hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, depending on the discretion of the answer.

According to some information that Yun Yi has learned, high-end magic tricks like Phoenix Swallowing Books have been lost for hundreds of years, and even some magic families may not be able to give specific answers. However, according to the site's rules, senior magicians are not allowed to answer questions here.

Perhaps only some high-level magicians have a know, and this kind of relatively high-end question should be a kind of "touchstone" for the website, and maybe you can find talents that can be cultivated from daring to answer questions boldly.

For a long time, the magic industry has a huge number of enthusiasts, but it is extremely niche compared to other industries. First, because junior magicians have no big way out, and secondly, because it is difficult to practice manual magic and psychology, and it is difficult and expensive to innovate prop magic and scientific and technological magic, and it is rare to get ahead in the magic world.

It is almost impossible for a person to become a high-level magician without resources and without funds. Even if you have everything, you can't reach the level of a senior magician without twenty or thirty years of skill.

Of course, some people from magic families or magic clubs with backstage may be excluded.

But even so, highly professional magic sites like the Legendary Magic Forum are basically a paradise for beginner magicians or magic enthusiasts.
