Chapter 142: Magic is a childhood dream

Li Mengnan skillfully connected the iron rings one by one while explaining, Liang Sanbo and the other three couldn't help but exclaim loudly, if they hadn't known the mystery of this for a long time, they couldn't figure out why the iron rings that had no problems at all after inspection could be magically connected together.

It turned out that from the very beginning, he had fallen into the psychological misunderstanding carefully designed by the magician.

"There is one thing I can't figure out, the gap in this B ring is not big, it is not small, when doing the three-ring display and the four-ring display, isn't the magician afraid of being seen by the audience?"

Liang San really has a bit of talent for learning magic, and he has already noticed the biggest flaw in this magic trick after watching a performance.

Li Mengnan nodded approvingly and replied: "Your observation is very careful, but you have to note that this is a stage magic trick and not a close-up magic, although there is a certain interaction with the audience, there is a certain distance between the magician and the audience after all...... And, why do you think each ring has to be polished so brightly? The purpose is to use glare to cover up the only flaw in this magic. ”

"Magicians are terrible liars." Gao Dingtian concluded with emotion.

"But the audience is willing to be deceived." Li Mengnan said with a smile.

"And I have to pay you to cheat." Liang Sanbo pursed his lips, threw the mineral water bottle just now to Li Mengnan, and said, "After the theory is finished, let's talk about this bottle." ”

For a magician, theory is far more important than magic itself, because only by thoroughly understanding various theories can he freely change his combinations and combinations, so as to constantly create new magic tricks, and only focusing on magic itself will only make him gradually become a third-rate performer without innovation.

Based on this sentence alone, Li Mengnan had already determined that Liang Sanbo could not become a real magician even if he had a certain talent.

"As I said, most of the magic tricks of props make use of human psychological misunderstandings...... Think about it, what methods can be used to achieve this magic effect? ”

Li Mengnan smiled and pushed the question back as it was, although he didn't think that Liang Sanbo and the three of them would be able to embark on the road of magic from now on, but the answer he got after thinking about it was far more impressive than being told directly.

With the hint of the previous iron ring magic, Liang Sanbo and the other three felt as if they had found some doorways, and racked their brains to crack this water bottle magic.

However, the inertia of thinking is difficult to change, and they have not come up with any other answer than to think of making a hidden opening in the water bottle.

And obviously, the only answer to this is also wrong.

"A magician is different from a magician, who repeats the magic tricks that others have performed, while the magician keeps creating and improving until a magic trick is almost perfect."

As he spoke, Li Mengnan took out a pair of scissors from the drawer of the table and began to cut the mineral water bottle from the middle.

"If you want to not be seen through by the audience, the most important thing is to bypass the human mindset, just like this magic, even a layman like you can think of doing things on mineral water bottles, if the magician still does this, isn't he as stupid as a pig?"

When the bottle was cut almost halfway, Li Mengnan poured out the red bottle cap from it, threw it to Liang Sanbo casually, and said, "Here, take a closer look at this bottle cap." ”

As soon as the bottle cap was in his hands, Liang Sanbo found that this bottle cap was strange, not to mention the slightly light weight, and the feeling of starting was also a little difficult, unlike the smooth texture of ordinary plastic bottle caps.

When I got it in front of my eyes, I found that this bottle cap was actually a hand-carved fake bottle cap, and the carver was vivid, and at first glance it was almost indistinguishable from the real one.

And I don't know what material is used in this fake bottle cap, it is as soft as jelly, but it is extremely elastic, no matter what shape it is pinched, as long as you let go, it will be instantly restored.

The three of them immediately understood that with such a fake bottle cap, even the smallest bottle mouth could be easily stuffed in, and there was no need for any technique at all, anyone could do it.

"Magic is not magic, you think you see a qiē, in fact there is always something that must be fake."

Li Mengnan lightly took back the bottle cap from the stunned Liang Sanbo.

It's a magic prop he's spent most of the day carving, and he can't just throw it around until he makes a better replacement.

"I ...... served. ”

The three animals didn't speak for a long time, and it took a long time for a wry smile to appear on Liang Sanbo's face.

"Don't you feel quite lost, a feeling of having your dreams shattered?"

Li Mengnan lit a cigarette again, squinted at the three people in front of him, his face was light and light, and the dust drifted out of the dust as if it would shatter the void at any time.

"Sort of, indeed." Zhao Yingjun nodded unabashedly.

"Magic, in fact, carries all kinds of beautiful dreams from our childhood, when we find out that the dream is just a scam, no one's psychology will be better."

Li Mengnan spit out a smoke ring, and the misty light smoke magically surrounded a heart, which was then dispersed by the wind blowing in from the window.

"So, magicians are the most brutal profession in the world, because in their world, there is only reality and no dreams...... But magicians are also a noble profession, and although they have lost their dreams, they still have to continue to compile dreams for millions of people. ”

"Your words are so profound that I don't understand them at all, but they seem to make a lot of sense." Liang Sanbo and the other three had their eyes full of admiration, as if they had reacquainted themselves with Li Mengnan.

Li Mengnan smiled indifferently, no matter how unreliable it is, as long as he occupies the commanding heights of morality first, even if he is full of mouths, he will also bluff people.

There are too many misunderstandings in human thinking.

……

In the next few days, in addition to normal classes, almost all of Li Mengnan's free time was occupied by Liang Sanbo and his three animals.

However, some people's enthusiasm came and went quickly, and in less than two days, Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian began to find all kinds of excuses to avoid practice.

Li Mengnan has long known that there will be such a result, as he said before, magician is an extremely cruel profession, and all kinds of magical and gorgeous magic tricks in the eyes of the audience are just boring work that is constantly repeated in the hands of magicians, and there is no mystery at all.

And if you repeat it too much, you can never get back the amazement and impulse you had when you first saw it.

However, to Li Mengnan's surprise, Zhao Yingjun, an otaku little fat man, has been persevering in various exercises, although he really does not have any talent in magic, but that kind of seriousness and persistence is very admirable.

The power of love is great.
