A Magician with Super Powers

Chapter 31 Difficult to decipher

When Mike’s excited voice called Li Lekang from the phone, telling him that due to the promotion of hype, the number of views of the video would exceed 30 million, and Daniel Cooper, the core team member of the revealing team, was also about to start work.

Cooper used to be a magician by profession, but because of brain-intensive creativity, it was difficult for thousands of troops to get ahead, so he turned to another way and focused on magic decryption.

He felt like the masked magician of the past, relying on the decrypted TV series to become famous and make money, surpassing his peers who were still struggling at the bottom!

So playing magic is worse than deciphering magic!

It just happened to be a good time for the Internet, and self-media made them a lot of money.

This time Cooper got two magic videos of Li Lekang.

In the eyes of fellow magic performers, it is not difficult to decipher a magic trick, because many routines and operational ideas have been memorized, and all they need is to use the elimination method in reverse.

Cooper sat in front of the computer and started to play the first video. He watched Li Lekang's performance in the talent show in its entirety.

"When many people are suspicious of the mechanism on the floor, maybe we should look at it the other way around. The sky is where the tricks are!"

"The stage lighting of the talent show is dark, and the most advanced hidden thread hangs down from the top of the head, which is enough to lift him up quietly. I have to watch it again."

The magician's "hidden thread" is a very useful prop. The earliest and simplest hidden thread comes from stockings!

The stockings thread has good toughness and good strength, which is enough to lift props such as playing cards or fruits.

The thread obtained by spinning, even if viewed at a very close distance, is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!

And with the development of science and technology, the intensity of hidden line props specially customized by magicians has been improved to a higher level.

Based on this idea, Cooper clicked on the video of the key time period and checked it repeatedly.

He thought that the top of his head had been tampered with, but Li Lekang's second levitation seemed to be slapping his face. He took off his jacket, a prop that can perfectly conceal the mechanism, and was wearing a T-shirt and cropped trousers.

If there is a transparent silk thread, you should be able to see the clues from the background by observing frame by frame, but it is still difficult to find the trace. Compared with the more exaggerated third levitation in the eyes of ordinary people, it can better explain the props of Diaowia .

"How did he do it the second time?"

"Is it really using the floor as a prop?"

"Assuming that the arms move, the props are connected to the clothes all the way to the pants, but this will definitely affect his movements. Even if he can walk, he will not be so flexible... Strange!"

Cooper observed frame by frame but had few clues, vaguely feeling a challenge.

The previous strong self-confidence has disappeared a lot. After careful study of this seemingly simple magic trick, I found that it is not the same thing. It is very skillful and tricky, and many places do not follow the tradition!

Cooper continued to analyze Li Lekang's second levitation performance frame by frame.

But the more I looked at it, the more I was puzzled. It seemed to be the case, but there was no strong evidence.

Plausible deciphering cannot convince the audience. Cooper stared at the video many times and couldn't sort out the clues. He had no choice but to turn off the first video and watch the second video to find ideas.

This video is Li Lekang's performance at the Music Center. He transformed a cup out of an envelope. This trick has been played by many magicians. It is a test of technique. Tables and clothes may be props.

But the problem of the capacity of the red wine began to trouble him.

Just as the audience doubted mathematics, Cooper proceeded to make inferences based on past experience:

"First assume that the cups are of normal capacity, and there is a hidden container on his body, which can fill a 500ml cup, so it can be explained by filling a small cup in reverse."

"So it's the same reason to fill a medium glass with a large one.

And the big cup fills the small cup? There is a huge difference in capacity. Is it an illusion of sight or is there a prop in your hand that is installed away? But that breaks the assumption that quilts are all normal! "

"If it's not the normal capacity, then how can the large cup just fill two medium cups? Mathematically, the addition of 500ml is established. I have to think again!"

"The last headless technique, intercepting the ratio of the length of the front and back clothes, and the line of the body, and comparing it with a computer, I can know where your head is hidden... Huh? There is no change?"

"How is this possible? The data can't lie, there must be something I didn't catch!"

Cooper stared at the screen scratching his head.

He has encountered a difficult problem.

The performance of this magician seems to be traceable on the surface, but there are many doubts in the actual attempt to decipher it! You think there is evidence, but there is always something that overturns your cognition!

Unlike the audience who joked that there was magic in it when they couldn't figure it out, as a colleague, Cooper scoffed at this kind of rhetoric. There is no magic, everything is just a blindfold!

There are flaws in any magic trick, it's just a matter of how long it takes to crack. Some magic tricks could not be unraveled even for more than ten years, and some of them were finally unraveled only to find out that it turned out to be a different perspective of thinking.

"Think! Think again!"

Cooper continued to watch the video. Li Lekang's performance was smooth and smooth, and his movements were smooth and natural. Although there were flaws, they were not enough to become the key evidence for decryption!

This kind is the most frustrating. You obviously feel that you have grasped the clues, but the clues are not enough for you to solve the case. You think you can do it, but in fact there is still a thick wall!

He watched and played from day to night. When the team assistant came over, he was surprised to find that this guy stared at the screen with bloodshot eyes. He was shocked: "What's the matter, did you just watch it like this all day?"

Cooper came back to his senses, with a splitting headache: "It's a bit of a challenge! This guy's tricks are very rigorous. If I want to crack it, I'm afraid I have to do it myself to understand the idea."

"Has it reached this point yet?"

The assistant was surprised. He knew Cooper's past. He had more than ten years of experience in magic performances. Later, he embarked on the road of reverse cracking after innovation failed. There is almost nothing difficult for him, even the magic of those masters.

But it has never been like today, constantly overturning its own inferences, and establishing another inference in the plausibility, but quickly obliterating it.

For three consecutive days, Cooper was competing with Li Lekang's magic.

The more he thought about it, the more questions he had. He tried to do it himself, but found that he could only imitate three points, and it was not enough to become a decryption evidence.

The more I watch Li Lekang's video, the more confused I become, and the more it hurts his self-confidence!

Li Lekang gives people the idea that the more you look at it, the more metaphysical it is.

At this time, Cooper had self-doubt in his heart: I'm afraid I can't solve this secret, this guy's performance is really flawless, you are going to break your promise to the audience this time!

The pressure forced him to continue staring at the video research, but maybe he was too brain-intensive lately, working overtime continuously until late at night, when he stood up, his eyes went dark, his feet felt numb, and he fell down with a plop!
