The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician-Chapter 537 - 284 I’ve Already Said Magic Isn’t Difficult! _2
Audience: "???"
Barrage: "Simple?"
Isn’t this Demon Art?
With a snap, did the card just change?
Even the Prosthetic Eye couldn’t capture the specific image of the change?
What’s happening here?
"This is just a very simple card-switching trick, which can be incorporated into many magic routines as an embellishment or for an impressive display," Jiang Shu expressed his satisfaction with the audience’s reaction. He pointed at the backdrop, "Everyone can take a look at the footage slowed down to a thousand frames, taken by my professional Photographer."
The backdrop then displayed that recent short clip, clearly showing that there were actually two cards, and Jiang Shu’s middle finger flipped the three of hearts downwards, hiding it behind the four of hearts.
"Basically, it’s like this, quite simple, you just need to practice, and you can do it too," Jiang Shu continued, his tone light and breezy.
However, Su Xiaoou at his side didn’t think so.
Simple?
Simple, she could perform the same action too.
But to still move fluidly after a thousand frames of slow-motion, could human hand speed actually achieve this?
Moreover, she was well aware that Jiang Shu’s body was an ordinary human’s; he hadn’t equipped any Prosthetics.
Just by practicing, constantly practicing, to achieve this level...
A look of full reverence appeared on Su Xiaoou’s face.
Both the audience at the venue and the viewers of the live broadcast were equally shocked.
A thousand frames slow-motion?
Great, finally understood why the Prosthetic Eye couldn’t see it clearly.
Whose Prosthetic Eye has such a high frame rate?
If even the Prosthetic Eye couldn’t, of course, human eyes couldn’t catch Jiang Shu’s hand movements.
Barrage:
"666, a thousand frames slow-motion, what devilish hand speed."
"I originally wanted to practice some tricks to fool friends, but now I think I’d better not."
"Damn this hand speed, I want to marry him! Flesh and blood mixer, huh?"
"Can’t you teach something simpler? We can’t learn this!"
And Jiang Shu saw this barrage asking for teaching of simpler magic tricks, so he smiled and replied, "I do want to teach some simple magic, but if it’s too simple... guess how many people are watching this show? If everyone can do it, teaching it would be pointless. Better to learn something like this. Even if your friends get it mentally, their hands won’t, and you can still fool them."
"That makes some sense," Li Yuntang also chuckled and chimed in, "but then again, not much, I still want to see if there’s any magic suitable for us, the hands-disabled group."
"Is that so? Since Li Yuntang has spoken, I can’t refuse," Jiang Shu shrugged his shoulders. He took out two rubber bands from his pocket and also pulled out a bill.
Classic rubber bands, classic bill.
But in this city, Jiang Shu was still confident he could fool these audience members.
Soon, he adjusted the rubber bands between his hands properly.
Now, between Jiang Shu’s hands were rubber bands, which he twisted around his hands, forming four lines.
Overall, it looked like a guzheng, with the four rubber bands acting as the strings, firmly held by Jiang Shu’s hands.
And on the topmost string, a folded bill was placed, just clasping over the string.
"Li Yuntang, take this bill and pull it downwards," Jiang Shu nudged the bill between his hands with his lips, signaling Li Yuntang to pull firmly.
"Oh, like this?" Li Yuntang asked somewhat curiously, then grabbed both ends of the bill hanging down and gently tugged.
The bill then moved from the first string to the second.
"What? How did it come down?" This image puzzled Li Yuntang, and she looked at Jiang Shu somewhat perplexedly, but what she saw was an encouraging glance from Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu then said, "Continue."
Li Yuntang did as instructed, and the rubber band on the second string was pulled to the third, and then immediately to the fourth. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The bill had just crossed three rubber bands?
Barrage:
"???"
"Classic oh classic, starting something I don’t understand again."
"Even bills have Superpowers now, and I still don’t have any."
"This is interesting, I want to learn!"
Jiang Shu unhooked the rubber bands and then picked them up and placed them on the table, smiling at the camera: "Looks magical, doesn’t it? Actually, it’s quite simple. If our friends here have rubber bands, you can try it with me, and for those in the live broadcast, I can give you half a minute to find rubber bands, any longer and the TV station director would say I’m padding out the time."
The next half minute was a long wait, but Jiang Shu wasn’t idling during this time.
He quietly nudged Su Xiaoou with his foot, whispering softly, "Get ready, it’s almost time for your Magic Performance, don’t be nervous, okay? Right now, only a few hundred thousand people are watching you, and if you mess up, it’s not a big deal, at most a few hundred thousand people will say you’ve wasted my great teaching resources. So, don’t be nervous."
Jiang Shu’s voice was gentle, yet it seemed as if it was coming from hell, his words seemingly encouraging Su Xiaoou but laden with terrifying pressure.
Just looking at Su Xiaoou’s face, she already seemed on the verge of tears.
Is this supposed to be encouraging?
