Chapter 141: Trick Magic and Prop Magic
"! Really? This is not scientific! ”
Liang Sanbo, Zhao Yingjun and Gao Dingtian, the three bedroom animals, are all going crazy, if they can probably guess that Li Mengnan's "volley" move may be some kind of thin line traction that is not visible to the naked eye, then the latter "bottle cap into the bottle" technique completely drove them crazy.
The mineral water bottle was passed back and forth by the three of them, and they tried to fill it with water and blow it, but they couldn't find the hidden opening as expected.
"Senior brother, brother macho, who did you learn from this hand, it's too awesome!"
Zhao Yingjun, who had already reported no hope, had his eyes shining at the moment, scratching his ears and cheeks with excitement, his face was flushed, this hand was much more dazzling than singing and dancing or something, I didn't dare to say that it was invincible to pick up girls, at least it could successfully arouse the curiosity of the target mm.
Anyone with a little common sense in love knows that when you can make a girl curious enough about you, then it won't be far from catching her.
In addition to being surprised, Liang Sanbo remained quite calm, pinched his chin after a little contemplation, and said: "I heard that magicians have to practice basic hand skills for a long time, even if it is an ordinary small magic trick, every three or five years of hard work will not be able to do it...... Handsome is not talented, and now that he has started practicing, will he be too eager to put ducks on the shelves? ”
Liang Sanbo poured this basin of cold water very timely, and Zhao Yingjun gradually woke up from his ecstasy.
That's right, no matter how dazzling the magic is, you have to be able to perform it, and the program selection for the welcome party is only less than a week, and it is impossible for him to practice basic skills for a few years.
"You have some misunderstandings about magic, of course, it's understandable that interlacing is like separating mountains."
Li Mengnan is actually still used to saying tricks, but the traditional culture of Huaxia has almost been lost in the hands of their generation, and many things may not be known to anyone.
Li Mengnan's fingertips flashed with silver, and a brand-new one-dollar coin popped out of it, and then with his dazzling gestures, it appeared one after another from his neckline, cuffs, top of his head, and behind his ears, which was dizzying.
Liang Sanbo and the other three animals unconsciously opened their mouths wide, and they didn't even realize that saliva was overflowing from the corners of their mouths.
This kind of coin magic is an extremely common close-up magic, nothing fancy, the test is the magician's hand speed, although none of the three of them have really seen what the magician's performance is like on the spot, but it is clear that Li Mengnan's hand speed has exceeded the limit of human dynamic vision, and it can definitely be called "a change in the blink of an eye".
It is estimated that unless it is a special high-speed camera, there is no flaw at all.
With a bang, the coin that was bounced by his thumb disappeared in the air, Li Mengnan clapped his hands to signal the end of the performance, and said with a smile: "Magic is generally divided into two kinds, one is called technique magic, and the vast majority of close-up magic is this type, there is no trick, it depends on the magician's solid basic skills, don't think about this." ”
Li Mengnan took the mineral water bottle just now and shook it, and the cap of the bottle tinkled restlessly inside.
"Another kind of magic is called prop magic, because it mainly uses a variety of exquisite mechanism props to achieve the performance effect, and the requirements for the magician itself are not so high, and the vast majority of beginners in magic start with prop magic."
Hearing Li Mengnan say this, the three of them nodded as if they didn't understand, first easy and then difficult, this is reliable.
However, Zhao Yingjun was still a little weak-hearted, and said, "But I've never been in contact with magic, won't it be too difficult?" ”
Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian also echoed their words, they did not doubt Zhao Yingjun's determination, but fat people are not eaten in a day, not to mention that Zhao Yingjun is still a rookie without a little magic foundation.
"Don't worry, it's all a trick to fool the layman, and I was already playing it when I was five years old...... Of course, it is certainly not enough to go on a formal stage, but it is definitely more than enough to cope with such a small scene as the welcome party. ”
Zhao Yingjun wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Li Mengnan's eyes, and the meaning was quite obvious-buddies have helped you to this job, are you not as good as a five-year-old baby?
"That'...... All right! ”
Zhao Yingjun gritted his teeth, for the sake of his lifelong happiness, he gave up this hundred pounds of fat!
Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian also showed a very strong interest in what Li Mengnan said about the "quick fool magic", and asked if they could also learn from the two hands, Li Mengnan did not hide his selfishness in this regard, anyway, one sheep was also driven, and the two sheep were also released, and it would not take him any more effort to carry the two of them, so he agreed to come down.
The secret of magic is the foundation of the magician's survival, so even in the modern open, advocacy of knowledge exchange, the magician profession basically maintains the most traditional master-apprentice inheritance, if you want to learn magic, you often have to be an assistant for a few years, test your heart and character, and then you will be gradually taught the core secret of magic.
Liang Sanbo and the other three are just playing tickets, and enthusiasm comes and goes quickly, and it is better to kill them directly than to start with the hardest basic skills.
However, Li Mengnan didn't plan to start a sect at all, in his opinion, this was just a friendly exchange between brothers in the same bed, no different from drinking in a restaurant and contacting each other.
As for the diffusion of magic secrets...... Li Mengnan really didn't worry about this, anyway, what he planned to teach was just some of the simplest prop magic, which was originally used by the old man to cultivate magic interest and magic enlightenment for the children around him, and it was no secret at all.
While speaking, Li Mengnan took out his "treasure chest" from under the bed, most of the things in it were magic toys made for him by the old man when he was a child, and he took them with him just to keep them for his thoughts, and it was perfect to use them for primary magic enlightenment for these three animals at this moment.
It was the first time that Liang Sanbo and the others had seen real magic props with their own eyes, and although most of them looked ordinary, they couldn't help but be amazed by the exquisiteness of their structure.
"Brother macho, can you tell me how the magic of the mineral water bottle just now changed?"
Liang Sanbo has always been obsessed with the improvised little magic trick that Li Mengnan performed just now, although the magic props in the treasure chest are exquisite and ingenious, but most of them are not common necessities in life, in contrast, he still thinks that picking up something around casually like Li Mengnan just now can make it easier to attract the girl's attention.
There are surprises without traces, and when you can't pick up a girl, you have to bring a big box with props, which is too stupid.
"I won't tell you about a telescope, this belongs to a more complex magic trick, you can't learn it without a few years of work, I'll just tell you about the magic trick of putting a bottle cap into a bottle......"
Liang Sanbo was just asking casually, he also knew that the rules of the magician profession were big, and it was impossible to let the secret of magic tricks to outsiders, but he didn't expect Li Mengnan to be willing to answer him, even though it was only one of them, it also made him feel flattered.
Zhao Yingjun and Gao Dingtian also hurriedly widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, this little magic trick is convenient to take and can be performed on the spot, it is an extremely practical kind of close-up magic.
"In fact, the principle of prop magic, most of which is based on human psychological misunderstandings."
Li Mengnan took out a set of iron rings from the treasure chest, a total of four, about ten centimeters in diameter, and the surface was wiped extremely bright, which was quite dazzling in the sun.
"This is an extremely common traditional magic trick, four iron rings, can be connected and divided, the form of the performance is very simple, and it is also magical, maybe some of you may have seen it."
Zhao Yingjun and the three of them stared at each other with big eyes, and shook their heads in unison.
"Well, I took it for granted." Li Mengnan looked a little embarrassed, maybe this magic trick is too old, and the current magicians don't care about playing with this thing anymore.
"Even though it looks like these are four separate rings, the fact is that the four rings are divided into three groups, and we use ABC instead." Li Mengnan put the stack of iron rings in his left hand on the table one after another, picked up one of them and said: "This is an independent iron ring, there is no problem, we can call it a ring." ”
Then he picked up the second ring and said, "This is also a separate ring, we can call it a b-ring...... Note, however, that this ring is not actually a complete ring. ”
Liang Sanbo and the three of them passed the B ring handed by Li Mengnan to check one by one, and sure enough, they found that there was a narrow gap on it, the width of which was just slightly more than the thickness of the iron wire.
"And the third group, which we call the C-ring, is actually made up of two rings that are buckled together, and these two rings are also no problem."
"Next, I'm going to show you how magicians use human psychological misunderstandings to perform magic tricks."
As he spoke, Li Mengnan lifted all four iron rings in his left hand.
Only then did Liang Sanbo and the others notice that Li Mengnan's hand holding the iron ring just blocked the gap between the B ring and the intersection of the C ring, making it look like four separate iron rings.
"Before the show begins, the magician asks the audience to check the hoop." Li Mengnan casually handed an iron ring to Zhao Yingjun, "You have noticed, what I showed you is a ring without any problems, because all the rings look the same, and after checking the A ring, the audience will subconsciously think that all the rings are the same as the A ring......"
With this initial misdirection, the next performance is logical, A ring plus B ring is two ring connection, B ring plus C ring is three ring connection, ABC connection is four ring connection...... It should be noted here that after doing a performance with two rings connected, it should be handed over to the audience to check, of course, it is not the real A ring and B ring, but the C ring, which will further deepen the audience's thinking misunderstanding. ”
