Chapter 30: The Throwing Knife Juggler
The opening show isn't over yet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I heard the clown shouting around, "Do you like these flowers, friends?"
The deafening cheers in response made Eric's scalp tingle. Without a few large wooden stakes to hold it in place, he felt that the tent would have been overturned by the enthusiastic spectators.
"If you're happy!" said the clown, he lay down on the ground, rolling around and laughing maniacally. It's a confusing move.
Eric admired Jasmine for being so open-minded. Seeing that funny look, he really couldn't connect it to the jasmine in his mind.
After keeping the audience's attention firmly on herself, Jasmine began the next stage of her performance.
Clowning as a clown, she clapped her hands and signaled, and several girls in feather masks pushed a large wooden disc into the arena from the backstage and fixed it to the side of the field. Next, one of the girls taped her smooth back to it, allowing the other assistants to fix her wrists and ankles to the four corners of the disc. At this point, the girl presents a large font on the disc.
Attentive Eric noticed that the disc was scarred. He thought he had guessed the next project, which was nothing more than a cliché show like throwing knives.
After fixing, the assistant turned the disc slightly, and the girl began to rotate with the disc. The intention was probably to check that the girl and the disc were perfectly fixed, Eric thought. At the same time, Mr. Clown in the center of the arena showed the audience several metal throwing knives. Looks like Eric guessed right. She flicked her fingers on them to make the audience hear the sound so that they knew it was a real knife.
Now it's time for the show. The assistant next to him jerked and made the disc spin rapidly. The clown gestured with a throwing knife, and she was about to throw the sharp steel knife onto the disc. At this time, the audience held their breath, and no one made a sound.
The clown suddenly assumed an extremely exaggerated crooked pose and threw out the throwing knife.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
It was the sound of knives piercing into wood. With a few exclamations from the scene, the throwing knife perfectly dodged the girl and pierced the blank space of the disc. The audience erupted in warm applause.
Eric, like everyone in the audience, sweated for the girl who was tied to the disc. A single hand shake in Mr. Clown kills her. This kind of performance is not something that you dare to do without full certainty. But for circus performers, it's probably nothing more than commonplace.
The assistant stepped forward to help remove the knives one by one and returned them to the clown's hands. It seems that the throwing knife show is not over yet.
When the assistant turned the disc again, the clown took out a black cloth and tied it to his eyes.
"Oh my God! he can't see anything now!"
Blind knives.
When Eric saw the Joker's movements, this word appeared in his mind. However, the blind knives he had seen did not have to turn the disc. In this case, the knife thrower should make a note of the position of the person being tied up in the moment of blindfolding, and judge when the knife should be thrown from memory.
That's not something that the average person can do. People's hearts are raised to the throat again. Backstage, Eric's eyes widened, praying for the success of Jasmine's astonishing throwing knife.
This time, however, Lady Luck no longer favors Mr. Joker. Everyone saw that when the clown threw the knife, the disc squirted red liquid. Suddenly, screams filled the entire space.
Oops, it looks like it's still messed up. Eric patted his forehead with his right hand, but he noticed something was wrong. The actors waiting behind him were still calm, which made him doubt what he was seeing. Could this be another designed plot?
Sure enough, the clown hurriedly said to the panicked guests, "Don't worry, she's fine! In order to confirm the clown's words, and even more so to prevent the panic from continuing, the assistant hurriedly stopped the disc with his hand and untied one of the actor's hands. The actor above also hurriedly waved to everyone to let everyone know that she was safe and sound.
It's okay, how can it bleed?
That's when the clown stepped forward to uncover the mystery. She dipped her hand in the red liquid and put it in her mouth, explaining meaningfully. "Hmm~ it's just ketchup. ”
As before, the audience was teased again. Eric shook his head, compared to Leng Lihua, this deception seemed vulgar and unnecessary.
The audience's reaction confirmed Eric's idea. They didn't buy the joke, and they became so angry that they started throwing clutter into the field.
"All right, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Clown sincerely reminds everyone that the wonderful performance is fleeting!" But the audience ignored it. And the clown bathed in littered debris and did not resist. But the audience saw that his hands were moving on their own.
A throwing knife is thrown high into the sky by the Joker.
When the audience saw this scene, their hands stopped throwing things. They wondered what the clown was going to do, after all, they were still here to see the show.
"The tip of this knife is heavier than the grip, so the edge always rushes down when it falls. Mr. Clown said in a deep voice as he reached out a hand to try to catch the throwing knife.
What is he going to do this time? The timid spectator covered his eyes, but his gaze sneaked through the gap between his fingers to look at the clown's hand.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the clown caught the throwing knife. The blade of the knife did fall down, but the clown just let the blade pass through the gap between his index and middle fingers, and then the two fingers clamped, and then stopped the flying knife.
The completion of this action made the audience silent. I don't know who took the lead in applauding first, and the loudness of the applause gradually changed from raindrops to thunder. Mr. Clown regained the recognition of the audience with his superb skills.
Eric reckoned that this was also designed, though he thought Jasmine was playing with fire by doing this. At the same time, he also felt that no matter what happened next, he would not be surprised.
Seeing that the audience was settled, the clown said in his peculiar tone: "It seems that everyone is still satisfied, so please continue to enjoy the wonderful show." At the Joker's motion, the assistants re-fastened the hand of the girl on the disc, and lifted it with the disc and laid it flat in the center of the field.
What are you going to do this time?
"Everyone knows just now, these throwing knives will rush down and fall. Let's have a more exciting game this time!"
As soon as the clown finished speaking, the assistants spun the disc. Unlike before, the girl on top began to spin face up, and the audience saw it more realistically.
"Look!"
The Joker quickly threw knives into the air one after the other.
She's going to let the knives fall freely!
