"The next step is to witness the miracle." With this iconic slogan, Liu Qian, who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the second time, did not disappoint the audience. His magic trick once again aroused the curiosity of most people. However, the majority of netizens will not be satisfied with just praising "it's so magical". Various posts revealing the secrets of Liu Qian's magic soon appeared on online forums, including screenshots and drawings... Let's not say whether it is correct or not. His energy is really admirable.

Let’s recall two small details first. One is that at the beginning of the performance, there were 5 names below the performer Liu Qian in the subtitles, all of which were titled "Magic Assistants". There were exactly 5 people sitting around Liu Qian. Netizens believed that they were not ordinary audiences. , and it is the "Magic Assistant".

Another detail is the elderly "audience" sitting behind Liu Qian. Do you think his hair, beard and glasses are a bit unnatural? It was obvious that he had put on makeup. "He is actually Liu Qian's assistant. He is a young man. He only wore makeup to hide his appearance." Netizens are really jealous.

Secret 1

Where did the full glass of orange juice go?

The first magic trick was to turn the full glass of orange juice into nothing in an instant. In order to convince the audience that it was orange juice, Liu Qian took a small sip to taste it, and then poured in an appropriate amount of orange juice. The orange juice looked very full. Next, he covered the paper cup with his right hand and turned the cup upside down. The orange juice disappeared.

Netizens focused on this paper cup and used a picture they drew to explain the principle of this magic. The paper cup has a mechanism. There is a compartment two or three centimeters away from the mouth of the cup. In fact, the orange juice is only poured into this place. The back of the paper cup is empty and filled with absorbent paper towels. Before turning the paper cup over, remove the compartment. When the layer is pulled off, the small amount of orange juice flows into the cup and is absorbed by the paper towel inside. It looks like all the orange juice is gone. In the end, Liu Qian crushed the paper cup again in order to destroy the "evidence".

Secret 2

How are the cards arranged?

So how did Liu Qian arrange the shuffled cards in order? Netizens have mixed views on this. Some netizens believe that the shuffling is a "fake shuffling". It looks like the cards are shuffled, but in fact the order is secretly coded.

Some people also say that he had 2 decks of cards. Dong Qing shuffled one deck, and later he changed the deck himself. The size of the deck was different. He divided the cards into 10 piles, and the last card in each pile was a little bigger than the other cards. Of course, the audience would not be able to tell. When dividing the cards, the first pile is an Ace of Diamonds. This is very simple, just take one card. The second pile is the two of diamonds and another card, and the size of this card is larger than the two of diamonds and the three of diamonds below it. And so on, as long as the last card in each pile is slightly larger, it is easy to pull out that card and the cards above it.

Secret 3: How do coins pass through glass

Originally there were three coins on the table. Liu Qian patted them from below. There were two coins on the table, and his coins under the table There is one more in hand. Netizens who have been diligently searching for the truth finally discovered the secret by taking screenshots frame by frame.

The first step:

Before slapping the table, there were three coins on the table

The second step:

The moment the table was smacked, four Two coins appeared at the same time.

Step 3: Due to the magnetic force, the two coins are buckled together

The three coins on the table become two, and one more coin appears in the palm of the hand.

It turns out that two of the three coins on the table are specially made, are magnetic, and can be buckled together. There was a coin hidden in the hand Liu Qian slapped on the table, which might have been sucked into his ring. When he slapped the table hard, the two coins on the table bounced up and merged into one under the influence of magnetism. He took the opportunity to transfer the coins attracted to the ring to the palm of his hand. What does it mean to have pictures and truth? Netizens' screenshots clearly captured the scene of four coins appearing gorgeously at the same time.

Now, someone is already selling this kind of prop coin on Taobao. It is called Butterfly Coin. The price is more than 150 yuan, and it is also specifically marked as "Liu Qian Spring Festival Gala Wearing Glass Coin".

Secret 4: How the arm passes through the glass

This magic is the climax of the whole performance and the biggest suspense. How did Liu Qian put his hand through the hard and transparent glass? According to the analysis of netizens, this magic trick was completed by Liu Qian with the help of those "human flesh backgrounds" behind him.

Let’s talk about the circular table first. Netizens analyzed that the glass of the table actually has two layers, just like the glass of a bus window, and can rotate.

The camera is level with the table as he passes through the glass, not allowing us to see the movement of the glass. And his other hand was visibly dragging the glass in circles. Until he dragged the pre-made hole in the glass in front of him, and then put his hand into the hole.

As everyone thought, the glass needs to be reset after the performance. Why can’t you see him turning the glass back? The glass didn't move either. That's right, the camera is not for the audience to see, and the audience at the scene can't see it either. The support at the back is used at this time to quickly turn the glass back.

Is the revelation professional? Professionals are unwilling to take a stand

Is the "revelation" of netizens professional enough? The reporter contacted a professional magician for verification, but was declined.

To the magic world, magic is an industry secret. A simple magic means thousands of practices. A classic magic often embodies the hard work of several generations of magicians. In this sense, the principles of magic are often simple to say, but the difficulty is how to present them seamlessly to the audience at the performance site. Therefore, on the one hand, many netizens are racking their brains to "crack", and at the same time, many netizens are opposed to this. There are many related messages on the Qianbao forum: "Magic's intellectual property rights should also be respected", "Magic's Charm needs to be watched and experienced, and knowing the result is actually the worst way to appreciate it. Magic is the most beautiful only in the process of not understanding but trying to understand."

Because the level is not high enough, I can’t insert pictures. I’ll give you a URL and you’d better take a look at it yourself. . /hzwtv/tvhzsj/2010-02/17/content_3057764.htm
