The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician-Chapter 529 - 281 Magic: Omnipresent_3

"Um..." Jiang Shu’s expression suddenly froze, he had thought Li Yuntang would ask something about the Magic Principle, after all, he had hinted so heavily. However, Li Yuntang’s response was much cleverer.

"I think this is also what all the audience is concerned about right now, isn’t it?" Li Yuntang looked towards the audience below.

And the audience responded enthusiastically, with applause and voices saying "Yes, yes, yes."

"Is that so?" Jiang Shu spread his hands in resignation, "Since that’s the case, at the request of our guest, I can only start the magic now."

"Quick, we’ve been waiting for a long time," Li Yuntang continued teasing with an unruffled expression.

"In fact, a Magic Performance often relies on obscuring the field of vision," Jiang Shu extended his hand and conjured a Coin out of thin air, "like this, this action can’t be seen from the front."

Then, he turned his palm sideways, pinched the coin back between his thumb and forefinger and showed this side view to the audience: "But from the side, you can easily see that I’ve hidden the coin in my hand."

Some audience members nodded, showing expressions of sudden realization.

"So, ordinary Magic Performances wouldn’t have views from the side or back," Jiang Shu said, then he looked at the two girls beside him, "As for you two, sorry, my program budget isn’t enough to afford more than one table, so you can only sit beside me."

"It seems we are superfluous," Li Yuntang tagged along with the conversation and gave him a coquettish glance.

"That’s not true, at the crucial moment, I still need you to show surprised expressions and shout out," Jiang Shu said, then he took two transparent jars from under the table, one filled with white crystals, the other with brownish powder.

"Li Yuntang, I ask you, do you prefer salt or pepper powder?" Jiang Shu turned around and asked Li Yuntang.

"Salt," Li Yuntang answered without hesitation.

Jiang Shu then placed the jar of salt on the table in front of Li Yuntang, and then turned around to place the jar of pepper powder in front of Su Xiaoou: "Since Li Yuntang likes salt, then Xiaoou, you must like pepper powder, I know."

Subtle laughter came from the audience, and behind them, the screen showed complaints about Jiang Shu’s action.

Then, Jiang Shu took out a wallet’s clasp, but there was no wallet, just the clasp alone, and holding this metal clasp he asked Su Xiaoou, "What is this?"

"It’s from a wallet," Su Xiaoou answered without hesitation; it was a classic wallet clasp design, so not only her, but every audience member who saw it clearly understood.

"Good, now I need three dollars," Jiang Shu continued, then he opened the metal clasp, and from the non-existent wallet, he took out two dollars.

"One piece, two pieces," he counted like this, placing the two coins on the table.

The audience also exclaimed, as the camera had just focused on Jiang Shu’s hands, and it completely missed any sleight of hand, yet Jiang Shu just conjured two dollars out of nowhere.

"Still missing one piece," Jiang Shu said, then he turned to look at Li Yuntang, "You like salt, right? Pick up the salt jar and check."

Li Yuntang did as instructed, and then she saw the coin pressed under the jar, quite surprised, "Eh? There’s a coin here? When did this happen?"

She picked up the salt jar, turned it upside down and tapped it; being a solid glass jar, the coin couldn’t have fallen out from inside.

Sitting right beside Jiang Shu, even Li Yuntang was as surprised, and the audience below was even more amazed.

Indeed, when? When had the coin gotten under the salt jar?
