Chapter 670 Rules on the Road(1/3)
Among the petals flying all over the sky, Thales looked at Hilley who was performing a skillful posture on the street with a stiff expression.
etc.
Huaiya and... Huaiyana?
What is this?
How could someone give such a false name?
"Master of magic?"
"Huaiya and Huaiana? Why haven't I heard of them?"
"It can't be the same people who cheated money last time. Their tactics were so bad that they were caught and raped on the spot!"
"These two hairs haven't even grown yet? Hey, maybe it's the gang of thieves on the street, diverting attention..."
"Mom, mom, there is magic! I want to see it, I want to see it!"
More and more passers-by gathered around, some just happened to take a casual glance at it, and some came with their families for a special trip. There were all men, women, and children. They stretched out their hands to catch the petals, and talked a lot about Hilley and Thales.
.
"Hey, what kind of magic are you doing? They're all fake. They're either props, tricks, or abilities..."
"Either he's a shill to support you!"
"Okay, okay, I like to watch magic tricks and expose them the most!"
"That's not okay. Magic is for appreciation, not for you to try to be clever..."
"If you don't ruin the show, what's the point of seeing magic..."
"Hey, Master Magic, don't be stunned, keep changing!"
"I want to see an escape magic! The kind that ties a rope and beheads someone!"
During the Jade Festival, various performances and celebrations can be seen on the streets of the city every day, not to mention that in the Iris District where theater groups gather, this kind of scene is simply too normal for the citizens. After a while, this street corner was naturally
The stage was surrounded, and some audience members even began to urge Hilley and Thales.
"Great," Thales rubbed his hair to make it a little more messy so as not to be recognized (although this possibility is very rare), "What should we do now, Master Magic?"
Xi Lai didn't say anything, but just turned his head and glanced at him.
The girl turned around, first raised her left hand with a smile, and then quickly retracted it, magically pulling out a complete red flower from the flattened hat.
There was a commotion among the spectators, with some exclamating and others booing in dissatisfaction ("I can do this, too!").
But Xi Lai was not affected at all. Her smile did not diminish. She waved her right hand first, then crossed her hands. The little red flower disappeared from her left hand in an instant.
The audience's exclamations gradually grew louder, while the boos gradually subsided ("One more!").
"They want magic," the eldest daughter of the Kevin Deere family smiled like a flower. Thales's broken hat kept flying between her wrists and arms. There were red flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, purple flowers, several different colors.
The branches of flowers appeared and disappeared from her hands one after another, which was very magical. "Then I will give them to them."
Well, with more and more cheers and applause, Thales raised his eyebrows helplessly.
From the angle behind Heilai, he could clearly see how the eldest lady performed the "magic": different flower branches were clamped on her elbows, armpits, behind her palms and even on the back of her neck and skirt, cleverly hidden in front of the audience.
In the invisible blind corner, she magically appears or disappears in her hands through the obstruction of the hat and making noises, attracting exclamations from the audience every time.
It is worth mentioning that Xilai's techniques are skillful and flexible, her movements are natural and smooth, and her exaggerated performances of diverting attention and surprising are even more proficient ("No wonder pretending to be a ghost and scaring people is so powerful..." Tai was secretly unhappy.
), coupled with the flower branches flashing back and forth, is enough to dazzle the audience.
Um……
The method of performing magic performed by the demanding Thales, who narrowed his eyes, seems to be not much different from the crooks playing cards in the Black Gold Casino in the Royal Capital and the "Three Hands" on the streets of Lower City.
But he did not forget the goal of their trip: In the barber shop across the street, Slimani and the barber boy were talking in low voices while paying attention to the growing number of spectators. The former was confused and the latter was confused. Obviously
They all began to shake their suspicions just now.
Well, it was a bad idea, but at least it worked.
Thales curled his lips.
To be precise, it was "Magic Master Wyana" who repeated three times with different postures, and finally threw the flower branches of five different colors into the hands of the audience. She smiled, put on her hat and bowed,
We received a lot of cheers and applause.
In the midst of the excitement, Thales did not forget to pay attention to the situation on the other side of the street:
Slimani was seen sitting back on the barbering chair, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief. The waiter behind him scratched his head and gradually gave up his doubts.
"This trick is too old!"
"Let's try something new!"
"yes!"
"Become a living person?"
"You can even saw a living person!"
"Can you eat fire and breathe fire? I saw that in Humble last year!"
The crowd's voices became louder and louder, and the demands became higher and higher, but the experienced "Master Huiana" was not afraid and immediately performed other magic:
She took out several thin metal rings and passed them to the audience in the first row for circulation, then took them back and played the trick of removing the rings very quickly.
Thales on the side was unknowingly reduced to a supporting role. He held up the hem of his clothes dejectedly, kept bowing to the audience to receive the reward, and thought sourly:
Come on, there are a few rings with tiny gaps mixed in among the intact rings. Who wouldn’t? It seems that a long time ago, foreign craftsmen performed this trick on the streets of Hongfang Street, until the news spread to the Blood Bottle Gang,
After hearing the news, the clown Max and his "circus den" came and smashed it clean.
But now, the guys in the barber shop won't be suspicious anymore, right?
The next moment, Shilai, who felt that the audience was tired of watching, changed her tactics. She saw several rings being put on her forearms. The girl happily raised her hands in the air, danced in circles, and sang the popular song of Nan'an Ling.
Minor tune "Flowers Under the Sea".
As the audience cheered and sang, every time she danced, one of the rings on her arms fell off and fit into another ring, until the rings within the rings formed a long ring.
The chain was waved by Hilley and turned in big circles.
Well, harsh magic judge, Thales raised his eyebrows: The performance combined with dance is not bad.
Halfway through the minor key, the long chain loses one link each time it turns, until the rings separate again and fit neatly back onto Heeley's arm.
After Xi Lai danced the last circle, he waved his arms, grabbed the rings in his hand again, and bowed.
The crowd once again burst into cheers and applause.
"The tricks are quite old, but the dancing is pretty good. Come on, keep going!"
Thales' nerves tightened, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a copper coin thrown from the crowd.
Wait, what is this?
The next second, a lot of copper coins and even a few store exchange coupons, and even an apple flew towards Thales from the audience, and many people held the coins in their hands and waved to him.
"Huaiya", the heir to the Thales magic family, hurriedly continued to reward money. After a while, he collected a full hand, and even leaked a lot on the ground, so that he had to pull out the hem of his clothes to hold it, and also put on a good show.
With a grateful smile on his face, he went around the audience to collect rewards in order to cooperate with Master Huiana's performance.
"No, there are so many rings, how did you put them on? This must be fake, right! What props did you use? Can you sell me some?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but be curious.
"Sorry," seeing so many spectators cheering for her, Miss Shirley Magic Master Wyana smiled even more happily, "The secrets of magic, firstly, don't delve into it, secondly, don't expose it, thirdly, don't spread it to outsiders, and fourthly, please tell me all about it.
Appreciate it with all my heart!”
After saying this, Hilley once again pulled out a flower from his hat, which caused a burst of cheers from the crowd.
"Girl, one more!"
"Sister, sister, choose me! I also want to do magic!"
"When are you going to kill a living person? For example, your brother?"
The audience's reaction made Xi Lai more and more excited, and her performance became more and more enjoyable. She was seen performing several street magic tricks with great excitement, from ring roping to guessing coins, from petals turning into whole flowers to pulling out a piece of black cloth and turning magic into thin air (Tel
The apple that Sis gave her... She even invited an aunt from the audience to tie her wrist with hers, and let the seemingly knotted rope magically change back and forth on their wrists, and the rope could be untied.
(Although after the aunt came off the stage, everyone suspected that she was a sitter arranged in advance, and she was so angry that she yelled in the crowd on the spot).
Thales, who was responsible for collecting rewards and bowing, felt that his clothes were a little heavier. He had to exchange a few coppers from a vendor for a bag and put the coins in them.
No, are the citizens of Emerald City so supportive? Are rewards so easy to come by?
Why weren't the citizens of the royal capital so generous when he was living on the streets?
Thales noticed Slimani sitting back on the chair in the barber shop and waiting, and Heilai happily raising her hands amidst the cheers, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It can be seen that this girl is not only good at technique, she is also very talented in acting. She knows how to guide the audience's attention and gradually control their emotions to achieve the best performance effect.
If, if she was not Kevin Dill, if she was not born in a Duke's house, if she was not Zhan's sister...
She would be a great street performer.
At this moment, a man squeezed through the crowd, came to the front row, and interrupted Shilay's magic show.
