In the show, the actor *** performed three magic tricks. The first magic trick is very simple. As long as you look carefully, you will understand that this magic trick has a must-do action in both performances, which is The first time is to put two fingers together, that is, the index finger and the middle finger, and then make a winding movement before performing. That is, this time, the rubber band has been separated. Hook the rubber band with your thumb and index finger. When you close it, quickly hook the rubber band with your middle finger, release your index finger, and then hook the rubber band with your index finger, and it will come out. Then when putting it back in place, keep shaking the rubber band. Because it has come out, it is a continuous shaking movement, which is not easy to see through. Then...it goes without saying.

Now let’s talk about the second one – the coin goes into the cup! There must be a mechanism under the tablecloth at the bottom of the cup!

There is no gap between the large cup and the small cup. The large cup is placed upside down, and the small cup is placed upright inside the large cup. There is also a big gap on the tabletop. The tablecloth is black to conceal the outlet switch action of the tablecloth ejecting coins from being noticed. The coin is shot from the table between the bottom of the small cup and the mouth of the large cup at the back of the small cup, which is blocked by the cup, and then bounces off the wall and bottom of the large cup twice before falling into the small cup. (The inside of the large cup has a large mouth and a small bottom, and the inner wall is obviously not perpendicular to the tabletop. Therefore, after the coin is shot vertically upward from the tabletop, it first bounces off the wall of the big cup and changes its trajectory. Then it bounces off the bottom of the big cup and just enters the small cup. The coin is shaking violently in the small cup, which shows that it is ejected very quickly) The mechanism for ejecting the coin can be triggered by Liu Qian's foot or a certain part of his body touching a switch on a certain part of the table, and the coin will be ejected from under the tablecloth. Came out.

Now let’s talk about the third one - putting the ring into the egg. The principle is similar to the former one. There are mechanisms at the bottom of the plate and under the black tablecloth. First, carefully watch the Spring Festival Gala performance video and pay attention to the two actions shown below:

We know that the characteristics of egg liquid are: sticky (if the container has any small holes or cracks, the egg liquid will not come out. leaky) and very shielding. The 10 seconds between when the hand hiding the object touches the tabletop for a long time and when the host beats the eggs into the bowl is enough for the device under the tabletop to be fully prepared. The action of placing the plate can be described as seizing the opportunity. The plate itself is very heavy and there are magnets, iron bars or magnetic objects at the bottom of the plate. (You can see from the video that there is a circle of silvery things at the bottom of the plate, which is probably an iron ring). There must also be a ring of magnets or controllable electromagnets of the same size under the table, so that the plate can be quickly positioned to align with the hole for the ring. It can be seen from the video that when the host picked up the eggs and looked at them, he quickly put the plate away, but the host did not check the plate carefully! It can be seen that he threw the plate diagonally towards the table (he wanted the audience to see that it was natural and casual, but unfortunately it was not the case). After the plate landed, there were signs of being sucked: 1. It didn’t slide; 2. There was no sign of spinning or flapping at all (the plate has a big mouth and a small bottom, so it may spin and flapping a lot after landing). The plate landed very unnaturally. In addition, we noticed that when the host was about to break the egg, the actor said to "wait a moment", which was obviously to ask for applause from the audience, but in fact, the buffering time mechanism was already in place. The egg yolk appeared more than 1 second after it was put on the plate, and I saw the ring moving from the middle to the side. In other words, the short period of just over 1 second from when the egg yolk first hits the plate and blocks our sight to when the ring appears is the time it takes for the mechanisms on the table and the bottom of the plate to send out the ring. The plate is also very particular. Why should we choose an inverted cone-shaped plate with a small bottom and a large mouth? Because when the eggs are beaten into the plate, we cannot tell if there is a small increase or decrease in the egg liquid in the plate. The bottom of the plate is movable and can be removed! There are magnets on the bottom of the plate to seal it with the tabletop, so that the egg liquid will not leak out after the bottom of the plate is opened. But look carefully, the liquid level dropped slightly when the eggs were put into the plate, then rose back up, and the ring came out.

I think Liu Qian really spent a lot of effort on how to seize the trigger switch to send the ring from the bottom of the plate to perform a thousand tricks in one second on stage and off stage.

The video of Liu Qian’s egg magic performance at the Spring Festival Gala. Please listen carefully between 4 minutes and 45 seconds to 5 minutes. The dialogue is as follows:

Liu Qian: “...another egg, Come on, choose another one..."

Dong Qing: "Huh? Now?" (At the same time, I took away the microphone. At this time, I felt something was wrong when watching the live broadcast, as if it meant that I shouldn't choose eggs now)

Liu Qian: "Pick one, pick one"

Dong Qing: "..The one with the ring... (Can't hear clearly, but I definitely said "with the ring" 3 words)" (At this time, the microphone has been completely removed and is at least 1 meter away from Dong Qin's mouth. However, CCTV's 5.1 channel system is really awesome. It captured such a subtle sound in this environment! Pay attention to turning it to the loudest Listen, you can clearly hear it~! )

Liu Qian: "Oh, egg egg" (I feel like he is also very nervous)

Choose one now. Egg..." (very hesitant tone, the following dialogue is omitted)

During the rehearsal, this magic took 6 minutes and 50 seconds, but when it came to the official performance, it took a full 8 or 9 minutes. It is understandable that this This oversight was precisely because the director yelled at Liu Qian in the earphones to pay attention to timing. Liu Qian took it upon himself to omit the foreshadowing performance and jump directly to the part of getting the eggs, which led to Dong Qing's coordination error and the flaw was exposed~! !

As for how the ring disappeared, because there is currently no 1080p video source, I cannot rely on the blurry images on the Internet to tell you how it disappeared. In fact, the most difficult thing about coins and eggs is not how they disappeared. No, it’s about how to get in (a Baidu search for words like “turning coins into nothing” or “retrieving objects from the air” will bring up a lot of techniques for making small things disappear). Dong Qing has already told us that "there is a ring" in the egg, so this most difficult part will be clear to the world.

In this way, Liu Qian’s magic cannot be called close-up magic, but a stage magic that requires the cooperation of a supporter. Stage magic can achieve very awesome effects (because many people can cooperate together). Everyone knows David, right? What he does is stage magic that burns money.

ps: Comes with a tutorial on the rubber band magic (this magic is called American Shackles). In fact, it is just a matter of technique. Most people can become proficient after 2 hours of practice:

I also recommend you to watch the movie "The Prestige", which perfectly shows how the twins created perfect stage magic for the sake of art (in the end they actually developed a replicator...)

To add: After Liu Qian’s show ended, it seems that he went to the next one without announcing the curtain. Liu Qian himself also ran off the stage in a hurry. Wasn’t it a timeout? Tips on how to put eggs into the ring:

The plate was originally covered with paper towels

Liu Qian took away the paper towels

Dong Qing was about to crack the eggs (make sure to cover it with your hands) dish)

Liu Qian shouted "Wait a minute!" (and then put on a show for a long time, the camera did not film the dish)

Then Dong Qing still covered the dish with his hand and cracked the eggs (knocked At that time, the camera could never capture the image of the back of Dong Qing's hand)

Then the mucus in the egg flowed out and ejaculated onto a plate. Liu Qian used tweezers to take out the ring (the camera was deliberately moved forward at the time, otherwise it would not be able to capture that (position)

In addition, the egg yolks are loose when beaten, so why are they not repackaged?

Any link in the middle can be designed. Anyway, Dong Qing is just a supporter. Since it is a stage magic, any design is OK (a ring inside an egg is OK. Did you notice the color of the egg that day? Something is wrong? Are they made of two semi-oval presets? Liu Qian also used eggs of this color when he did this magic before. Even the egg boxes are the same. This box of special eggs is This explains the problem very much)

This is actually the simplest. Dong Qing is a trustee, and there is a big loophole here.

When the magician asked Dong Qing to choose the second egg, Dong Qing was a little confused and asked: Is it a ring...? (The omitted content is: That egg?). At this time, the magician hasn't even asked for her ring yet! This is a little different from what they rehearsed (their previous rehearsal should have broken 2 real eggs first). In fact, there are two rings. The same ring has been placed inside the egg for a long time. It is an artificial egg. The eggshell of the artificial egg is made of calcium carbonate, and the egg yolk and egg white are made of sodium alginate, alum, and Made of gelatin, edible calcium chloride, water, pigments, etc. Just ask the egg maker to customize one. The egg Dong Qing wants to choose is the egg with a ring inside.

Here is a video. Pay attention. When the magician asks Dong Qing to choose the second egg, turn up the volume and listen carefully. Dong Qing said in a daze: Ring...
