Chapter 141 Deconstruction of Mind Magic

"Are you pretending to be prosecuted?" Jiang Shu suddenly asked Su Xiaoou.

Su Xiaoou was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied: "No, I'm still saving money, I want to..."

"Then stop pretending to be prosecuted." Jiang Shu interrupted in a faint voice.

"Hey? But... why..." Su Xiaoou frowned. She had been thinking about prosthetic eyes for a long time, and now she earns money to be able to install a high-quality prosthetic eyes.

It can be said that before she met Jiang Shu, she saved money to buy the powerful revolver, but after successfully taking revenge, her purpose of saving money was to make such a high-quality prosthetic eye.

"The Prosthetic Eye will affect magic." Jiang Shu said to her very seriously, "In the short term, it will affect your hand speed and movements, and may even hinder your thinking; in the short term, the Prosthetic Eye will interfere with the magic factor in the air when transmitting data, thereby affecting your magic success rate."

"Eh? Really?" Su Xiaoou blinked.

If this is the case, it is better not to pretend to be prosthetic.

"Fake it." Jiang Shu shrugged, "You believe this kind of thing, where have you learned magic?"

"Then..." Su Xiaoou didn't understand what he meant, and she hesitated.

"But in the future, this is true." Jiang Shu smiled and said slowly, "Most people in society are still ignorant. As long as they can organize a complete set of logically self-consistent statements, most people will believe it."

"Then... what is the purpose of doing this?" Su Xiaoou still didn't understand Jiang Shu's meaning.

"In order to adjust the magic venue, I plan to arrange signal shields around the main performance hall." Jiang Shu explained, "The first reason is of course to mislead the audience and establish the authority of spiritual magic."

Many masters of spiritual magic in their previous lives were roughly divided into two schools. Some people would package spiritual magic as "superpowers", while others would package it as "psychological principles". In fact, magicians may just sneak some information, supplemented with certain words, and a mysterious and powerful image of a magician who follows the crowd, and the audience will often be stunned.

In the magic of the mind, the authoritative image of the magician is very important, and there is no doubt that this is the case.

Unlike other magic tricks, in the mind magic, except for the selected audience, other audiences do not have much sense of immersion, because the magicians do not read their hearts.

This is also the main reason why many large-scale spiritual magics have been criticized for being "in fact, they are entrusted, and the audience is cooperating with the acting."

But in fact, most spiritual magic naturally has nothing to do with servitude. As long as the regular magician on the regular stage has emphasized that there is no servitude, it will certainly not be servitude. There are still magicians with professional qualities.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but contact the great magician Qian. Every time the spiritual magic tricks were to repeatedly emphasize that there was no entrusting, no entrusting, no entrusting...

Ridiculous and sad.

And this is enough to prove the importance of the magician's authority.

For example, in the past and present, it depends on the misaligned process, but if it weren't for him who came to Li Yuntang, the ending could be imagined; for example, if everyone present hadn't automatically substituted him into an extremely awesome hypnosis master, someone might have noticed the small movements in his hand.

Like Sanwu Hypnosis, the principle is simple and the operation is not difficult, but if an ordinary person performs to his friends in daily life, the details will most likely be noticed and exposed on the spot.

On the one hand, the level of misguided inference and speech is insufficient, and on the other hand, the level of authority is insufficient.

"As for the second reason, I think starting from the next performance, I need to limit the use of prosthetic eyes." Jiang Shu stretched out two fingers.

All the technicians circulating on the market have a shooting frame rate of 30 to 45 frames. No matter how high it is, there is no need for daily life.

The prose of this frame rate is based on the changing speed that Jiang Shu can achieve in magic. As long as he covers it up, he will not be photographed.

This was exactly the case in my previous life. Many magic videos have not low frame rates, but when watching, the audience often feels flashing, and then they don’t see clearly, and can only re-frame the frame by blinking.

"I found that some people are using Yiyan to broadcast my magic tricks live." Jiang Shu said bluntly, which is what the tablets told him, "Like the cinemas in Lone City, I think I need to do a good job of preventing."

"That's right, the audience who came here to watch the performances are not here to appreciate the art... No, how to say, they are watching the fun..." Su Xiaoou also had this feeling, but she couldn't express her thoughts well.

So Jiang Shu translated: "What do you mean is that these audiences' curiosity about magic is more than artistic appreciation?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Su Xiaoou nodded quickly.

"Of course." Jiang Shu nodded, "As for magic, you just watch the excitement and novelty. The same magic is not as many times as the audience."

This has been the case from street tricks to magic since ancient times.

"So that's the case... do I still have to learn magic codes?" Su Xiaoou was shocked.

Jiang Shu walked to A, B, C and D who were playing the Four Kingdoms Military Chess, knocked on their tables, and signaled to work. He continued: "Of course, even if you don't have to be in the principle of magic, you have to learn it. Sometimes you have to convey some other information on the stage to me, the kind that you can't say directly."

“Hmm? For example?”

"For example, my crotch is opened." Jiang Shu replied seriously.

Then, he wrote on the light screen, "The code is a common and powerful method in spiritual magic."

"First of all, you have to understand, what is the core of spiritual magic?" Jiang Shu asked Su Xiaoou.

"Core?" Su Xiaoou was stunned for a moment, then searched for her pitiful magic knowledge, and after a long time he replied, "Is it a fool by lines?"

"Uh...of course not. This is just one aspect of the magic show. What does it have to do with the core?" Jiang Shu quickly rejected it, and then he wrote on the light screen, "It's the message."

"All the magic of mind is actually abstract and invisible, whether it is mind reading, thinking transmission, or prophecy and memory elimination." He continued, "these are invisible abilities, so the magician will turn them into visible magic effects."

He then explained: "So most of the time, their processes are based on the word "information". Translated: the reading and transmission of information, the emergence and disappearance of information. In a spiritual magic, what we magicians do is very simple-"

“Manipulation of information.”

"The manipulation of information?" Su Xiaoou repeated, as if she had truly developed a little understanding of the magic of the mind.

What Jiang Shu said is very simple, but the way is simple.

There are also millions of principles and means for the mind, but their purpose is often surprisingly consistent. The magician obtains information from the audience through various means, which is information that the magician should not have obtained.

Therefore, this will achieve the spiritual magic effect that confuses the audience.

"Okay, you can understand this, right?" Jiang Shu asked. He had tried his best to summarize the core of spiritual magic as much as possible.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoou nodded.

"Okay, if you understand this, you will understand the following content easily." Jiang Shu said with satisfaction. "The use of code in magic is actually the process of the magician's assistant, such as you, or a hidden assistant, conveying some secret information that magicians do not know to the magician."

"In the mind magic of a two-person show, well, the two-person refers to the magician and assistant. Excluding the audience, the code will be a common method. In the mind magic of a single-person, the code may also be used, but obviously, the audience cannot know that there is a leaked 'traitor' hidden between them." He said with a smile.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoou asked very well, "Then, how can you convey the secret code?"

"First of all, you have to be clear that the magic code system must follow two principles." Jiang Shu stretched out two fingers, "Concealment and intuitiveness. Concealment is very simple. Code cannot be noticed by the audience. You can let the audience see your actions, but you cannot make them suspicious. Obviously, these code actions must be actions that will occur normally, and they are very natural actions."

"The second is intuitiveness. The moment I saw the code, I could understand what you mean. You can't have too much time to think about it, otherwise the audience will definitely notice something, and the fluency of the magic performance will be destroyed or even failed." Jiang Shu was serious and taught in a straightforward manner.

He has always been very serious about magic. In fact, magic is also a performing art that needs to be taken seriously.

At least, professional magicians in China in their previous lives were a group of cute guys who really love magic. After all, it is really difficult to make money.

If you don’t really love, who will stick with it?

In the words of a magician in the industry, if you make a living by magic, then you don’t have much money. If you make a hobby of magic, then you don’t have much money.

Of course, the threshold for magic in China is also relatively low. There are many people who dare to take on commercial performances after learning a little bit of it.

The audience atmosphere is poor, the magicians have uneven levels, the magical innovation ability is weak, the performance category is too one-sided, all of them are card magic, etc. The atmosphere in the magic circle is not good.

However, it is also actively self-healing, and there are also many excellent magicians working hard for the development of magic.

"I understand." Su Xiaoou nodded while thinking.

"Then it's very simple next. Let's teach you a common one first." Jiang Shu took a deck of cards on the table and showed the back of the cards for Su Xiaoou. "Look, divide the areas evenly on the top, middle and bottom, left and right, so there will be nine areas."

"Uh-huh."

"Then hold the card normally like this..." Jiang Shu showed the gesture of holding the card normally, and his thumb was naturally pressed on the playing card. "Use the fingertips of the thumb to convey information, so that nine different messages can be conveyed."

"Look, the thumb is more natural and holds the card naturally, and the audience will not notice such small details." Jiang Shu continued, "For example, use a simple nine-card magic to demonstrate."

"Yes." Su Xiaoou tried it with a deck of cards. It was very simple and intuitive. As long as you hold it in your hand, Jiang Shu could know a lot of information.

"For example, just send nine cards at will..." Jiang Shu said, while casually putting nine cards on the table with the back facing up, "Then I will hand over the remaining cards to you, which is natural and logical."

Jiang Shu handed the playing cards to the magic assistant Su Xiaoou, and then said, "Now, you have playing cards in your hand, so you can pass the secret code to me, right?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoou nodded and took over the playing cards.

"I will tell a selected audience to choose a playing card and open it, see what card it is, and show it to the audience." Jiang Shu explained to her, "Of course, I will instruct him very seriously to carefully place the playing card he chose, at least not let me see anything on the surface."

"Then you will blindfold your eyes and turn it over, and the audience will choose the card?" Su Xiaoou understood. She could guess what was next, "It's very simple."

"Well, I can't see it during the display process, but you can see it, so I can know the cards chosen by the audience from your way of holding the cards." Jiang Shu smiled, "After knowing the audience's choice, I will control the next performance. Just arrange a set of words."

"For example, use psychological knowledge to package, micro-expression reading, etc." He thought for a while, chose a set of suitable magic, and then he said in a confident tone, imitating that he was performing this magic. "Now, my hand is moving over these nine cards. You must ensure that your expression has not changed, and you must not let me see it."

"Very good, is this one right?" Jiang Shu performed on her own, "It's obvious that the eyes are the window of the soul, and your eyes tell me your choice."

"Look, in this case, the magic will have a very reasonable explanation." He shrugged, "and you can do it many times again to achieve a repeated mind reading effect. Every time the audience will cover it up better than the last time. He will even close his eyes, turn around, and use some rogue ways to avoid you reading expressions, but to no avail, he has been misled from the beginning."

"So that's it, I understand." Su Xiaoou looked suddenly.

"Okay, since you understand, then now, go and perform for your Shen Xuwan." Jiang Shu smiled, picked up the card and walked to the next door, "Just perform this."

"Hey? So fast?" Su Xiaoou was stunned, but she could only follow him when she was led by Jiang Shu.

She was still a little nervous and confused.

After a while, Su Xiaoou performed magic tricks in a bumpy manner and ran back to the magic room in shame. She encountered many difficulties when she performed on the spot.

She thought she was a flexible person, but when she was performing, she realized that magic with such a simple principle was actually not simple either.

"Look." Jiang Shu smiled again, "From the turn, your rhythm was completely messed up because you didn't get my password as soon as possible."

"Well, I understand." Su Xiaoou nodded. From then on, she began to panic, and her subsequent performance was full of flaws.

"It's very simple, a detail." Jiang Shu pointed out incisively, "When you turn around, you have to turn around from me, so that you can know the audience's choices as soon as possible, rather than sneaking into my hand when you process the lines later."

"Oh--" Su Xiaoou's eyes widened. She didn't consider such details at all, but it was very practical, and the rhythm of the magic was extremely smooth.

"This is also the details I want to tell you." Jiang Shu knew that she had started thinking, "You have to rehearse every magic trick in the future and handle every detail yourself. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand." Su Xiaoou made a lot of gains.

"Of course, what I really want to say is..." Jiang Shu paused, "You must memorize this book honestly." Jiang Shu took out a booklet, "There are common codes on it. You must memorize it thoroughly, otherwise... there will be big problems with my magic rhythm."
