With his signature nonchalant smile, Brando fiddles with the K-gold cigar cutter in his hand, and he loves to smoke cigars, largely because of the unique touch and sound of the cigar cutter when it cuts the cigar.

"But I don't think there's anything special about him, this kind of vanishing magic, Situ Jun can also do it, right?"

As Brando's personal secretary, Su Qingchu also serves as CFO, that is, the position of financial director, although 100,000 yuan is just an insignificant amount of small money in her eyes, but where the responsibility lies, she feels that it is still necessary to remind such a sentence.

The Situ Jun she mentioned is a first-line magician who is well-known in the domestic magic industry, and was hired by Brando last year with an annual salary of one million to do a regular performance twice a week for the "Godfather" nightclub.

"Qing Chu, if you think that magic is only those things that the eyes see, then you will never understand what real magic is."

Brando seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, his eyes looked blankly at the end of the street lamp, shook his head for a long time and sighed lightly, and said: "I can tell you very responsibly, that young man named Li Mengnan, his magic skills are very good, and he is not comparable to Situ Jun's first-class at all." ”

"But I don't think it's any different." Su Qingchu's expression was cold, and he still insisted on his opinion.

"Let's put it this way......" Brando snapped his fingers, "If Situ Jun came to conjure this magic, I could understand all his techniques, but this Li Mengnan, there are at least two places that I can't understand at all." ”

"Oh? Which two places? ”

Even though Su Qingchu had a cold personality, she couldn't help but feel a little curious, it was the first time she heard Brando give such a high evaluation to a domestic magician.

She doesn't like magic, but she has been exposed to Brando for many years, and she has a somewhat superficial understanding of these things, and she knows that although her boss is only a magic lover, if her eyesight alone is not inferior to any first-class magician, and the magic that he can't see through is probably only done by those world-class top magicians.

"First, it's his method of making those 100,000 pieces disappear in an instant."

"You know, modern magic can be roughly divided into two kinds.

One is prop magic, which uses a variety of sophisticated and complex mechanisms and equipment to achieve all kinds of incredible magic effects, such as shifting shapes and transpositions, cutting living people with knives, and so on.

The other is hand magic, the magician only uses skillful and fast techniques and a little psychological hint to achieve the magic effect, this kind of magic because of the congenital insufficiency, it is difficult to create any big scenes, but because there is no need for special props, the unparalleled authenticity is also shocking. ”

"It is impossible for this young man named Li Mengnan to know that I will appear, which excludes the possibility that he colluded with the food stall owner to play a double reed, so in other words, what Li Mengnan is performing is pure magic tricks...... The tablecloth with the soy sauce rings painted on it was just a guise for psychological cues, not a magic prop. ”

Brando tossed the cigar cutter aside, and with a flick of his hand, a brand new hundred-dollar bill was tucked between his fingers.

Although the magic trick is only a ticket nature, he can still do this kind of trick of Cheng Dù.

"Manipulative magic is very demanding on the weight and volume of the props.

The weight of a 100-yuan Huaxia coin is 1. 15 grams, 10,000 yuan is 115 grams, 100,000 yuan is 1150 grams, and it is almost the same as a brick.

With such a weight, I was tired and panicked just by holding it in my hand, and it was impossible to pick it up quickly with all my strength, and with just one hand, I really couldn't figure out how he made the 100,000 pieces disappear under my nose.

Unless there is a hole in the ground that is large enough to hold the money, but I have checked afterwards, it is a complete concrete floor, and it is impossible to store a zài dark compartment.

If he is replaced by Situ Jun, he has only one way to achieve a similar effect, which is to break up the 100,000 yuan and then transfer it to his body in batches as quickly as possible, but it will take time, you can see the thickness of his money decreasing little by little, but it is impossible to see the magical effect of disappearing in an instant like Li Mengnan. ”

"And the money doesn't seem to be on him." Su Qingchu was very impressed by Li Mengnan's move of taking off his shirt and "checking his body" in public.

"Yes, but compared to the previous method of disappearing, although this method of hiding money is magical, it is not impossible to achieve."

An excellent magician can even hide a fish tank filled with water on his body, how to hide things is the basic skill of a magician, Li Mengnan can hide the 100,000 yuan, and it does not surprise Brando.

"The second is the method of making money reappear."

In fact, this truth is like a reverse deduction of the previous method of making the money disappear, and if you don't know the previous method, you can't crack his second method...... In contrast, the method of wearing a tablecloth through a box and making money out of money is just a trick to use the poor vision of the human eye, but it is also played quite beautifully by him. ”

After listening to Brando's detailed decryption, Su Qingchu also realized that the young man named Li Mengnan was indeed extraordinary, but he still insisted: "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a street magician with no reputation, and he will not bring us any benefits...... Seriously, Mr. Bai, I have never understood why you would invest so much energy and money in magic, which is clearly beyond the scope of a hobbyist. ”

Brando took out a cigar from the humidor, cut off both ends, lit a match, slowly turned the cigar and roasted it carefully, before lighting one end evenly, the unique aroma of tobacco gradually diffused with the faint smoke.

"Qing Chu, have you ever heard of 'Immortal Suo'?"

Immortal Suo, one of the most mysterious and controversial magic tricks in the history of magic.

In the "Yuanhua Ji" written by the Tang Emperor Fu, it is recorded that during the first century of the Tang Dynasty, the world was peaceful, and the merry emperor Tang Ming often ordered the people to be given wine and food, which was called "drunk" in the history books, and it was often "five days of drunkenness" in the habit.

In a certain year, the Jiaxing County Division and the Supervision Department ordered each subordinate to select good materials for the wonderful performance of the program on the "drunk".

At this time, one of the prisoners in the prison claimed to be able to "rope skills".

The jailer then reported to the jailer, who ordered the jailer to take the prisoner to the theater the next day.

This person holds a long rope, puts it on the ground, throws one end into the air, its strength is like a pen, at first two or three zhang, and then added to four or five zhang, a long rope goes straight to the sky, as if someone is pulling in mid-air.

The audience was amazed.

Then the rope was thrown higher and higher, reaching more than 20 zhang, and the end of the rope was submerged into the clouds.

The man suddenly climbed upward, lifted his feet off the ground, and gradually climbed higher, and fled in full view of everyone.
