The audience in the venue was in an uproar.
There was just too much to say about Wu Mu’s magic trick.
"How did he do it? When did he steal those things? Weren’t they always being watched? They even showed them to everyone, and after that, he didn’t touch those people at all!"
"The playing cards and predictions were obviously drawn and written later. He didn’t even leave the stage during that ti, so how did those things end up on the audience?!"
"Yes, if there were accomplices, it might be hidden together, but the audience was randomly selected, they couldn’t possibly cooperate with him. Those things could only have been hidden during the initial contact. But the card numbers were drawn later, and the words were written later too. Ti travel??"
"And those techniques of changing clothes out of thin air, grabbing objects out of thin air, and finally disappearing into thin air, is there magic!??"
Everyone was stunned, completely unable to figure out how it was all done, with various techniques and operations that made it seem like a phantom thief, disguised as magical magic!
Not only were the spectators in the venue discussing, but even those watching the live broadcast were engaged in discussions.
A good magic trick easily piques everyone’s curiosity, making them feel incredulous and curious about how it was done.
And with this curiosity and discussion, the hype naturally rises.
Zhao Dongdong, after watching so speculations in the live comnts and not figuring out anything, simply cast the program onto the TV, replacing the central station. Then, he switched to his phone to check Weibo to see if there was any discussion about the program.
There naturally was.
And surprisingly, the rankings were already quite high.
Several entries indeed.
Hot search #2, #Mystery Guest at Bilibili Spring Festival Gala#
Hot search #6, #Martial Arts Performance at Bilibili Spring Festival Gala#
Hot search #10, #Zhao Dongcheng Praises the Martial Arts Performance at Bilibili Spring Festival Gala as Astonishing#
Hot search #15, #Mystery Guest Magic Performance at Bilibili Spring Festival Gala#
After the earlier martial arts performance, the topic of the Spring Festival Gala began to fernt on Weibo.
Various discussions about the martial arts program and guesses about who the masked guest was, and the recent magic performance added another spark to it.
Well, it’s worth ntioning that the number one hot search topic is... #Wu Mu Officially Announced to Participate in Bilibili Spring Festival Gala#.
Zhao Dongdong directly ignored that annoying na at the top and clicked on the hot search discussing the magic performance, eager to see if any insiders knew how the tricks were done.
The discussion under the topic was particularly intense.
"Go watch the Bilibili Spring Festival Gala live! The program on Bilibili this year is so exciting!"
"The effect of that masked guest’s show nailed it! Whether it’s the martial arts performance or the magic show, the effect was maxed out!"
"Although the Spring Festival Gala hasn’t started yet, just with these two performances, it feels like Bilibili is crushing the Spring Festival Gala this year! The martial arts in the Spring Festival Gala every year is just a dance program in martial arts disguise, just putting on a show. I admit you invited big shots, martial arts leaders, but the performance is boring! Bilibili understands young people; it’s the kind of program that looks like a real fight, punch-to-flesh, and shot in one take that’s interesting! Watching martial arts is all about watching fights, right?"
"Yes, yes, it’s beco too traditional, afraid to make any risky programs. If it can be faked, it’s faked, faked singing if possible. And magic sotis looks incredibly amazing, leaving people confused about how it’s done, but after it’s analyzed, it’s the host as an accomplice working together, cara angle editing? In places where the audience can’t see, secretly swapping props on stage? That’s tricking people! It should be like Bilibili’s complete angle view, with truly random audience selection to show sincerity."
At the start, it was all about discussing this year’s Bilibili Spring Festival Gala. Everyone unanimously agreed that these two sections were excellent, overshadowing the Spring Festival Gala whose programs had beco too stagnant.
Zhao Dongdong watched this and couldn’t help but nod in agreent.
Scrolling further, there were many detailed discussions about the specific magic tricks.
"This magic is amazing! As a magic enthusiast, I can understand how the clothes change and the card grabbing is done. It should be the clothes were worn originally, designed with hidden or reversible features, quickly swapped with technique. The card grabbing is from a blind spot in hand vision, but his other techniques seem completely undecipherable."
"After decades of experience and performing professionally on stage, let reveal as a magician, honestly, I didn’t understand many of his techniques either, though I got the general idea.
First, in the part where the treasures were stolen when the audience was taking them out, I believe he took advantage when teaching the audience to press the pockets to steal while diverting attention with conversation, swapping things secretly.
Then the playing cards predictions stuffed into the audience’s pockets. Though they seed to be random cards drawn later, I suspect they were a pre-prepared set he hurriedly arranged.
Write the words ahead of ti, place them into audience pockets, and when the cards were drawn on stage, use force card selection techniques to control the desired card’s position, or subtly hold other cards to make them harder to draw, and so on.
If you look back, you’ll notice that after letting the audience shuffle, he didn’t let them draw themselves but retrieved them to have the audience draw again.
As for the predictions on the cards, so might say they don’t align with the intentions, but there are techniques for this too, writing a batch of broad intentions beforehand, like love, friendship, kinship, etc., and manipulating replacent by claiming an item isn’t official enough or too precious and feared to lose, etc.
The final disappearing act was probably due to a combination of stage props and lighting effects...
Zhao Dongdong suddenly realized, finally understanding the masked person’s techniques.
Once revealed, it didn’t seem so remarkable anymore.
But...
The magician revealing it in detail added in the comnts below, "Everyone shouldn’t think these seem unremarkable, actually when I first saw it, I was completely stunned, let alone you folks. I fully understand the techniques and principles, but the more I understand, the more I feel like there’s always soone better and more mysterious."
"Because... I found that I couldn’t even tell when the mask made the move! Even while deliberately watching, nothing could be seen! This person is definitely a Magic Master! Even better than Kay Xavier, since at least Kay Xavier wouldn’t have left without spotting a single flaw!"
Magic Master?
Such a high evaluation?
Zhao Dongdong was shocked. However, recalling the seamless performance seen just now, with no abruptness throughout, she indeed felt it seed smoother than any other magic she had ever watched.
A Martial Arts Master, Magic Master, seemingly young and also handso... Zhao Dongdong felt she was a bit chard.
However, there’s no problem admiring soone with real skills, much better than being a brainless fan of so artificially hyped celebrity, right?
Zhao Dongdong thought to herself.
So, who exactly is this masked man who is both a Magic Master and Martial Arts Master, young and handso?
Zhao Dongdong quickly returned and clicked into the second hot search discussing the masked person’s identity, checking if anyone had a definite hint.
But...
The top comnt under the hot search topic...
"The more I look at it, the more it feels like Wu Gou... Although the skills don’t match, although the guesses about various Martial Arts Masters and Magic Masters are so intriguing, opening the hot search picture once again... the sense of déjà vu is too strong! Isn’t this exactly how Wu Gou’s usual program appearances dominate the hot search state! The top search is him attending the program, followed by detailed discussions about his programs... just with a masked disguise!"
Zhao Dongdong was thunderstruck at the opening.
