132. Chapter 132 Manipulative magic and prop magic
"Damn it! Is it true or false? This is unscientific!"
Liang Sanbo, Zhao Yingjun and Gao Dingtian, the three dormitory beasts, were going crazy. If Li Mengnan's "flying shooting" trick before, they could roughly guess that there might be some kind of thin line that could not be seen with the naked eye.
, then the following "bottle cap into the bottle" technique completely drove them crazy.
The mineral water bottle was passed back and forth among the three people, and they tried filling it with water and blowing air into it, but they couldn't find the expected hidden opening.
"Big Brother, Brother Macho, who did you learn this skill from? You're so awesome!"
Zhao Yingjun, who had given up all hope at first, his eyes were shining now, he was scratching his ears and cheeks with excitement and his face was red. This skill was much more dazzling than singing and dancing. I can't say that it would be a success when using it to pick up girls. At least it could successfully attract the target girl.
curiosity.
Anyone who knows a little bit about love knows that when you can make a girl curious enough about you, then you are not far away from chasing her.
Although he was surprised, Liang Sanbo remained quite calm. He held his chin in thought for a while and said: "I heard that magicians have to practice basic hand skills for a long time. Even ordinary small magic, every three
Even after five years of hard work, I can’t improve... I’m handsome and I’m not gifted. I’m just starting to practice now. Isn’t it too early to get ahead?”
Liang Sanbo poured cold water on him just in time, and Zhao Yingjun gradually woke up from his state of ecstasy.
This is true, no matter how dazzling the magic is, it must be able to be performed. There is only less than a week to select the program for the welcome party, so it is impossible for him to practice basic skills for several years.
"You have some misunderstandings about magic. Of course, it's understandable that every line is like a mountain."
In fact, Li Mengnan is still used to talking about magic, but the traditional culture of China has been almost lost in the hands of their generation. Many people may not know many things if they are told. For the convenience of explanation, he still chose the more common name now.
Li Mengnan's fingertips flashed with silver light, and a brand-new one-yuan coin popped out. Then, with his dazzling gestures, it appeared from his collar, cuffs, top of the head, and behind his ears, making it dizzying.
Liang Sanbo and the other three animals opened their mouths unconsciously, not even noticing that saliva overflowed from the corners of their mouths.
This kind of coin magic is an extremely common close-up magic. There is nothing fancy. The test is the magician's hand speed. Although none of the three of them have actually seen what the magician performs live, it is obvious that Li Mengnan's
The 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 a special high-speed camera is used, there will be no flaws at all.
With a clang, the coin bounced by the 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 types. One is called sleight of hand magic. Most close-up magic is of this type. There is no magic."
Any trickery relies on the magician’s solid basic skills, so don’t think about it.”
Li Mengnan took the mineral water bottle just now and shook it, the bottle cap jingled restlessly inside.
"The other kind of magic is called prop magic. Because it mainly relies on various exquisite mechanisms and props to achieve performance effects, the requirements for the magician himself are not so high. Most beginners of magic start with prop magic.
"
Hearing what Li Mengnan said, the three of them nodded in understanding. They started with the easy things and then the hard ones. This is what I said is reliable.
However, Zhao Yingjun still felt a little guilty and said: "But I have never been exposed to magic. Is it too difficult?"
Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian also echoed their words. They did not doubt Zhao Yingjun's determination, but fatness was not achieved in a day, not to mention that Zhao Yingjun was still a rookie with no magic background.
"Don't worry, these are just tricks to fool outsiders. I was already bad at it when I was five years old... Of course, it won't work on a formal stage, but it is definitely more than enough to handle small scenes like the New Year's Party."
Zhao Yingjun wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Li Mengnan's look. The meaning was quite obvious - you guys have helped you get to this point, are you worse than a five-year-old baby?
"Oh well!"
Zhao Yingjun gritted his teeth and risked his weight of more than a hundred pounds for the sake of his lifelong happiness!
Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian also showed a strong interest in Li Mengnan's "Quick Fool Magic", and asked if they could also learn it. Li Mengnan didn't hide his secrets in this regard, anyway, so does a sheep.
He was driving two sheep, so it didn't cost him any more effort to take them with him, so he agreed immediately.
The secret of magic is the basis for a magician's survival. Therefore, even in this modern open society that advocates knowledge exchange, the profession of magician basically maintains the most traditional inheritance of master and apprentice. If you want to learn magic, you often have to become a few masters.
Only after his assistant has tested his character and character for many years will he be gradually taught the core secrets of magic.
Liang Sanbo and the other three were just for fun, and their enthusiasm came and went quickly. If they wanted to start practicing the most difficult basic skills, it would be better to just kill them with a knife.
However, Li Mengnan had no intention of starting a sect. In his opinion, this was just a friendly exchange between brothers who shared the same bed, and it was no different from going out to a restaurant to drink and bond.
As for the spread of magic secrets... Li Mengnan really isn't worried about this. Anyway, what he plans to teach is just some of the simplest prop magic. It was originally used by the old man to cultivate interest in magic and enlighten magic among the children around him. It doesn't count at all.
What a secret.
While talking, Li Mengnan took out his "treasure box" from under the bed. Most of the things in it were magic toys that the old man made for him when he was a child. He only brought them with him to keep in mind. At this moment
It is perfect for giving these three animals basic magic enlightenment.
This was the first time for Liang Sanbo and others to see real magic props with their own eyes. Although most of them looked ordinary, they could not help but be amazed by the exquisiteness of their structures.
"Brother Macho, can you tell me how you did the magic trick on the mineral water bottle just now?"
Liang Sanbo could never forget the impromptu magic that Li Mengnan performed just now. Although the magic props in the treasure box were exquisite and clever, most of them were not common necessities in life. In comparison, he still felt like Li Mengnan did just now.
Just picking up something around can make it easier to attract girls' attention.
Surprises can only come if you don't leave any traces. You can't carry a big box with props with you when trying to pick up girls. That's too stupid.
"I won't tell you about teleportation. It's a relatively complicated magic trick. You won't be able to learn it in just a few years. I'll just tell you about the last bottle-cap-in-a-bottle magic...
"
Liang Sanbo was just asking casually. He also knew that magicians had strict rules and could not easily let outsiders know the secrets of magic. However, he did not expect that Li Mengnan was actually willing to answer him. Even though he was only one of them, it also made him quite knowledgeable.
Feeling flattered.
Zhao Yingjun and Gao Dingtian also hurriedly opened their eyes and raised their ears. This little magic is easy to use and can be performed on the spot. It is an extremely practical close-up magic.
"In fact, most of the principles of prop magic are based on human psychological misunderstandings."
Li Mengnan took out a set of iron rings from the treasure box. There were four rings in total, about ten centimeters in diameter. The surface was wiped extremely bright, and they were quite dazzling in the sun.
"This is an extremely common traditional magic trick. It consists of four iron rings that can be connected or separated. The performance is very simple and very magical. Maybe some of you may have seen it."
Zhao Yingjun and the other three looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and shook their heads in unison.
"Okay, I take it for granted." Li Mengnan looked a little embarrassed. Maybe this magic is too old, and today's magicians no longer bother to play with it.
"Although it looks like these are four independent hoops, in fact these four hoops are divided into three groups, and we use ABC to replace them." Li Mengnan placed the stack of hoops in his left hand on the table.
They laid them out one by one, picked up one of them and said, "This is an independent iron ring. There is no problem. We can call it ring A."
Then he picked up the second iron ring and said: "This is also an independent iron ring. We can call it ring B... But please note that this ring is not actually a complete ring."
Liang Sanbo and the others passed the B-rings handed over by Li Mengnan one by one for inspection, and sure enough they found a narrow gap on it, the width of which was just slightly more than the thickness of the wire.
"As for the third group, we call it the C ring. It actually consists of two rings buckled together. There is no problem with these two rings."
"Next, I will show you how magicians use human psychological misunderstandings to perform magic performances."
With that said, 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 of ring B and the intersection of ring C, making it look like four separate iron rings.
"Before the magic show starts, the magician will ask the audience to check the hoop." Li Mengnan casually handed an hoop to Zhao Yingjun, "Have you noticed, what I show you is the A ring without any problems, because all
The rings all look the same. After checking the A ring, the audience will subconsciously think that all the rings are the same as the A ring..."
"With this initial misunderstanding, the next performance is a matter of course. A ring plus B ring is a two-ring connection, B ring plus C ring is a three-ring connection, and ABC is connected is a four-ring connection... Pay attention here, I have done it before
After the performance in which the two rings are connected, they must be handed over to the audience for inspection. Of course, the inspection is not the real A and B rings, but the C ring, which will further deepen the audience's misunderstanding."
