In the eyes of die-hard viewers of "The Magic Star", Liu Qian is already a charming star magician like David Copperfield. Although Liu Qian has never formally studied magic with a teacher, and has always been "not doing his job properly", he was obsessed with computers in middle school, applied for Japanese in college, and fell in love with singing after graduation. However, he started learning magic at the age of 7, and learned magic from David Copperfield at the age of 12. Liu Qian, who received the International Gold Medal trophy, seems to have an innate temperament as a magician and is destined to become a professional magician practicing as an amateur. However, he revealed that he got involved in the magic TV show "Magic Star Highlights" purely by chance. It was introduced by a friend. He was originally planning to give it a try, but unexpectedly, he hit it off with the show. Liu Qian is very good at doing magic tricks, but being a host is "the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair." In this regard, he also admitted that he found it difficult at first, because magic is indeed difficult for laymen, but for magicians, it is procedural and can be completed step by step according to the procedure. However, as a host, you have to encounter various problems. In emergencies, there is no procedure at all. It is indeed difficult to perform magic while also dealing with various emergencies. But after trying it for a while, I slowly got used to it. Although Liu Qian spoke in a relaxed tone as someone who had been through this before, the reporter understood the hard work he had put in at that time. Because Liu Qian, who is now regarded as the "Prince of Magic" in the eyes of others, was once a rookie with very clumsy hands. He would repeat a movement thousands of times to perfect it, spend hours picking up hundreds of cards that were thrown away in two minutes, and sew them by himself. Using various performance props, he can practice needlework comparable to that of a tailor. From this, I can imagine the painstaking efforts he put into adapting to the unfamiliar hosting job.
And "The Demonic Star" gave me an opportunity to step off the stage and communicate with ordinary audiences up close. I really enjoy this feeling - successfully "cheating" under the eyes of others, and then seeing their various expressions, whether they are surprised, happy, or angry. In this era, mystery and surprise have become luxuries, bringing everyone a little rare happiness, which is where the magic of magicians lies. ”
I believe every audience member is curious whether the passerby A, company employee B, shop owner C and other ordinary people who cooperated with the magic show are really ordinary “outsiders”, or are they “trustees” invited by the program team? ". In this regard, Liu Qian said: These people are really invited at random. Sometimes they will go to companies where they know people they know, but they will try to avoid letting them cooperate with the magic show, otherwise it will affect the shock of the magic. Only After seeing the magic, strangers will have various expressions on their faces, which will make the audience feel that the show is real.
But if "outsiders" cooperate with the magic show, will there be a risk of the magic being revealed? What should we do if we encounter uncooperative passers-by, and what should we do if we encounter various emergencies? In Liu Qian's view, these reporters' concerns are unfounded. Under normal circumstances, passers-by are very willing to cooperate, especially after the program has gained a certain popularity, passers-by often become supporters of the program. Street magic is most inevitable when encountering emergencies. Liu Qian still remembers a scene vividly: he and Yang Jie were performing in front of the fruit shop owner, and when they took out hundred-dollar bills from the oranges in the fruit shop, , the people around were shocked, and then they swarmed up to grab the big banknote. The most ridiculous thing was that someone took the orange and asked the two hosts to help him change money from the orange, as if Liu Qian and Yang Jie were The immortal who turns stone into gold. But these emergencies will also add points to the success of magic to some extent.
When asked if he was afraid that his magic would be exposed, Liu Qian said that after all, in his mind, letting magic bring happiness and surprise to people and giving everyone the opportunity to participate is the first priority. If possible, To entertain the public, it doesn't matter even if the magic is revealed. If in order to maintain the mystery of magic and keep it aloof, and not enter into ordinary people's lives, the meaning and true essence of magic will be lost.
Integrating magic into ordinary people’s lives has always been Liu Qian’s goal. In his view, magic can only exert its unique functions if it comes into close contact with people. Magic not only has the spiritual function of bringing happiness to people, but from the perspective of utilitarian and practical significance, magic can also be a helper for people.
