The performance time is limited, and Li Mengnan's opening remarks can only end here.
However, the effect was not bad at all. The attention of all the audience was successfully attracted by him. Some people wanted to know what this mysterious-sounding magic was, while some people wanted to see Li Mengnan's performance.
Is it worthy of his bragging?
The boos from the audience did not affect Li Mengnan at all. When the boos subsided, he continued: "Everyone must have seen the magic show before. Just like the classmate just now, he played a hand of poker to perfection, and the gambling god Gao Jin is just like that."
But that’s it…”
Other viewers didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence. Pei Junyong, who was chatting on his mobile phone in the audience, suddenly felt something was wrong.
What's going on? This soap man actually praises his performance? Who has ever seen a weasel greet a chicken in the New Year? This is definitely not normal...
"I can actually do his kind of card magic, do you believe it?"
Li Mengnan touched his trouser pocket, took out a neat stack of playing cards, and shuffled the cards twice on the desk that served as a performance stage. His movements were extremely ugly. Those who knew he was performing magic, but those who didn't knew he thought he was following a magic trick.
Who is playing Landlords? It's not as cool and handsome as Pei Junmeng did when he shuffled the cards just now.
That's all. What's even more annoying is that just when Li Mengnan finished shuffling the cards and everyone in the audience thought he was going to start performing card changes, this guy actually stuffed the playing cards back into his pocket!
"I'm sorry, I just calculated and it won't change today."
He said he was sorry, but there was no apology on Li Mengnan's smug face. It seemed like he had done something worth showing off.
Why are you playing with us?
Several judges were also shocked by the sudden turn of events, but the director was so choked that he coughed repeatedly and sprayed tea all over his pants.
"Why can't I change? Because my outfit is wrong..." Li Mengnan tugged on the cartoon T-shirt he was wearing.
Pei Junmeng in the audience almost had his nose crooked. Although Li Mengnan's words sounded okay, the subtext was too vicious! Doesn't this mean that the reason why he can do card magic is all because he hid the cards in his clothes?
?
But Pei Junmeng couldn't stand up and explain that the cards he conjured during the performance were not hidden in his clothes at all. The dress was just a standard outfit for a magic show.
Not to mention that the unspoken rules of the magic world do not allow him to reveal any magic secrets. Even if he is willing to stand up and clarify, no one may believe it.
After all, in layman's perception, all magic props must be hidden on the magician's body.
These people here are all highly educated people. How could they fail to hear such a simple subtext? Sure enough, as soon as Li Mengnan said this, almost everyone focused their attention on Pei Junmeng, with an obvious "I see" expression in their eyes.
Profound meaning.
"Hmph! Slander! Pure slander!"
Pei Junmeng retorted angrily, but his unreasonable statement made people feel that he was guilty of guilt.
Li Mengnan on the stage looked down at him with pity on his face - let you pretend to be cool! He knew clearly that the point of close-up magic was to be extremely real, and did not give the audience any room to guess. In order to show that he had not done anything on his body, he did a lot of tricks.
Even magicians want to go on stage shirtless, but you dare to dress so cool! It’s October, why aren’t you so hot?
Pei Junyong at the judges' table couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately reminded him in a deep voice: "This student, please hurry up and perform your performance!"
Li Mengnan also knew how to give up when he was ready. He smiled apologetically at the judges' table and continued: "Anyone who knows me knows that I have a habit of being lazy. I am not like other magicians who want to use all the magic props.
Carry it with you...Magicians are not fat, mostly for this reason."
There was another chuckle from the audience.
"So, I need to prepare temporary props now... Teacher Wen, can you lend me your mirror?"
Wen Yirou blushed subconsciously. She didn't expect that Li Mengnan would call her name. The feeling of being watched by hundreds of eyes made her somewhat at a loss. It took her a long time to find the makeup mirror from her handbag.
Li Mengnan thanked him and took the mirror. He rolled the palm-sized cosmetic mirror back and forth between the fingers of his right hand like a coin. The audience was amazed by his flexible five-step command.
Pei Junmeng in the audience sneered again, but now you are still playing this little trick to please the public. I want to see what tricks you can do during the official performance!
"The mirror in my hand is familiar to everyone. If I insist on saying that this mirror is different from other mirrors, I can tell you responsibly - this is a mirror that has been used by a beautiful woman."
The audience suddenly burst into cheers. This guy is so awesome that even the teacher dares to tease him...
Wen Yirou's face turned even redder, and she pretended to lower her head to straighten her hair. She kept complaining in her heart about why this student always had trouble with her.
"Sorry, I'm just such an upright person."
Li Mengnan didn't mean to tease this beautiful teacher. He was just a habitual bullshit, but he didn't expect the other person to be so thin-skinned.
The audience's laughter was slightly smaller. Li Mengnan pinched the edge of the makeup mirror with his thumb and middle finger, turned the mirror outward, and made a 360-degree display to the audience.
"Before a normal magic show, the magician will ask a few audience members to check the authenticity of the props used... Do any of you want to come up and check this mirror?"
The audience in the audience shook their heads, saying that it was not necessary.
After all, Li Mengnan was on stage for a show that was decided on the spur of the moment, so the possibility of colluding with Wen Yirou in advance was extremely low, not to mention that it was just a palm-sized cosmetic mirror and could not hold any complicated mechanism.
"Well, since everyone believes that there is nothing wrong with this mirror, let's just skip this step - to be honest, I just thought about which audience to choose, just the dancing beauties, you are too cruel,
Don't give me any chance."
The audience burst into laughter again, and the girls whose names were called were teased and teased by their friends.
Although Li Mengnan's magic has not officially started yet, the audience in the audience has a good impression of him. They feel that this boy is like the brother next door. The boy in the building opposite makes people feel very friendly, without the arrogance of Pei Junmeng before.
This is also the effect Li Mengnan wants to achieve - only when all the audience accept him psychologically and have a certain degree of trust in him can he perform the next trick.
"A long time ago, there were no mirrors. If people wanted to see their own appearance clearly, they could only go to the river or fill a basin of water in a well and look at the reflection.
Later, the ancients ground copper to make mirrors. At that time, there was no machining process today. The ground mirrors were no better than frosted glass. The effect was only so-so. In other words, you could tell which was the nose and which were the eyes, which could be used as a reference for women to comb their hair and put on makeup.
, if you want to squeeze out pimples, blackheads, etc., you probably have to touch them slowly by yourself..."
Li Mengnan held up the mirror and pushed his hair back, then continued: "Then silver-plated glass mirrors were introduced, and now we can finally see our own appearance clearly... although many people would rather not see it, such as in our dormitory
Zhao Yingjun."
The audience burst into laughter again.
After the audience's laughter subsided, Li Mengnan's tone suddenly changed, becoming serious and low-pitched. Coupled with the echo of the speakers in the auditorium, there was a faint and gloomy atmosphere.
"Perhaps it is precisely because everything reflected in the mirror is so real that many people believe that there is actually another world in the mirror, and in that world, there is naturally another self... right?"
No one expected that Li Mengnan would actually say such a thing. Although it sounds very unscientific, who has not had such thoughts?
Especially when you face a mirror alone for a long time, it really feels like there is another self on the opposite side of the mirror.
There are similar sayings among the people, such as the mirror is the door to that world, and if you look in the mirror in the middle of the night, you can see your future self, etc.
Especially girls, they often believe this statement even more deeply.
Li Mengnan's question stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. The audience immediately fell into a heated discussion and the scene was in chaos.
"This student is really good at whetting people's appetites." Professor He smiled and whispered to Director Ke beside him.
Although Li Mengnan's performance had already exceeded the time limit, no one wanted to stop. Instead, they wanted to know more and more what he was going to do next.
Li Mengnan's next words were even more sensational than before.
"Today I am going to tell you that my other self actually exists."
What? Is the other self real?
How can this be?
Having received a materialistic worldview education since childhood, no one among the students present believed that Li Mengnan could really prove the existence of another self. But the more so, the more they expected that Li Mengnan could really do this.
Making the impossible possible is the charm of magic.
"I know there must be some people who don't believe it, but it doesn't matter, you will believe it soon."
Li Mengnan raised the makeup mirror with his left hand, pointed the mirror at the audience, then raised his right index finger and placed it in front of the mirror, almost touching the surface.
Two fingers, one inside the mirror and one outside the mirror.
Li Mengnan maintained this posture for a few seconds. After confirming that most of the audience in the audience had seen clearly, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly and said: "The next scene may completely destroy your world view. It is best for timid viewers to please
Close your eyes..."
Hearing this, the students in the audience didn't even blink - are you kidding me? My appetite has been lifted to Mount Everest, who would close their eyes at this time?
Li Mengnan nodded in approval of the audience's courage, and then suddenly removed his finger from the mirror.
The scene was silent.
A few seconds later, suddenly there was a horrified scream from the audience——!
