Chapter 145 "Coin in a Cup"
Lin Chudong handed Deng Siqing two glasses, one large and one small. Cups and coins are very common things in life, so the audience immediately became interested when they saw these things.
In the past, magic was performed with hats and magic tricks. There were many professional magic props on large stages.
Those things are obviously used in the magic industry, so even if some strange things appear, people don’t find it strange.
But this close-up magic is different. It uses the most common things in life, coins and glasses, which are ordinary things that can’t be more ordinary.
What tricks can this thing do?
Deng Siqing checked it, "No problem, it’s just an ordinary cup we use at home."
Lin Chudong took the cup back and was under the camera the whole time.
A black cloth was placed on the table to make it clearer for everyone to see.
"Let’s put the small cup on the table first, and then cover it with the big cup!"
Lin Chudong put the two cups, one large and one small, on the table to form a closed space.
"Excuse me, is it possible to put this coin into the cup in this situation?"
Deng Siqing widened his eyes, "Put it into the small cup inside? Of course not!"
Lin Chudong smiled slightly, "Impossible, right? What I have to do next, in simple terms, is to move this coin into this cup instantly."
"This is quite difficult, so, everyone, if I succeed, I don't ask for much from the audience, five seconds of applause!"
Deng Siqing said, "Of course, not to mention five seconds, ten seconds of applause will do! This sounds incredible."
Lin Chudong aimed at the camera and placed the signed coin in his palm.
Then, he clenched his fist, held the coin in his palm, and rotated his fist 180 degrees.
He pointed to two things on the table, "Coin, glass."
"Don't blink."
"Next, it's time to witness a miracle!"
Lin Chudong's hand exerted a little force, slowly rotating, and then he paused.
Ding!
A coin fell directly into the completely closed cup!
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into applause and screams.
Lin Chudong took out the coin and pointed it at the camera so that the audience could see it clearly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a unique coin in the world. Thank you all. Five seconds of applause, five, four..."
Deng Siqing was surprised, "This is incredible. You scared me!"
Lin Chudong handed the coin to Deng Siqing, "Sister Deng, this coin is for you as a souvenir."
Lin Chudong put the cup in place and said.
"The magic we just saw is called teleportation."
"Transferring things to a glass is actually not the most difficult."
"Next, I'm going to do something that is absolutely impossible to transfer."
Then, Lin Chudong took out a box of eggs and put it in front of the camera.
"This is a box of ordinary eggs."
"I just bought eggs from the supermarket. First, please choose one."
Deng Siqing chose an egg.
Lin Chudong said, "Now please break this egg."
"Confirm that this is an ordinary egg."
Deng Siqing broke the egg and put it in a small transparent dish.
Lin Chudong praised, "Very skilled, Sister Deng is really a good wife and mother."
"It can be seen that this is a very ordinary egg. Please choose another one, Sister Deng, and don't break it this time."
Deng Siqing was stunned for a moment. Dafei's magic seemed different from the rehearsal?
During the previous rehearsal, Deng Siqing was asked to take the ring first, and then the egg. This time, before the ring was mentioned, she took the egg directly.
Deng Siqing put the microphone aside and asked in a low voice.
"What about the ring?"
Lin Chudong pointed to the egg box, "Please ask the host to choose another egg."
Deng Siqing nodded and picked an egg.
Afterwards, Lin Chudong held the egg with a glass.
"Okay, I'll leave this egg here and I won't touch it."
"Next, I need to borrow a personal item from the host."
Deng Siqing was stunned, "Me? What do you need?"
Lin Chudong pointed to her hand, "A ring."
Deng Siqing quickly protected it, "Are you kidding? My ring is very expensive. You want to exchange it for one dollar?"
The audience laughed immediately. Sister Deng is so cute.
Lin Chudong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you."
He took the ring, showed it, and said.
"Let me explain what I'm going to do first."
"Next, I'm going to put this ring into the egg in the glass!"
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
This is indeed incredible.
Although I know that magic is fake, it is inevitable to be shocked when I really see such a performance.
"Everyone, this is much more difficult than before. If I succeed, I don't ask for much."
"Half an hour of applause!"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Wouldn't it be tiring to applaud for half an hour?
"Just kidding, ten seconds of applause will be enough."
"Please look carefully."
"Ring, egg."
"Don't blink."
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"
Lin Chudong's hands gently held the ring, and then slowly rotated his hands. The ring was blocked in his palms, but his hands were always in front of the audience.
After a few turns, Lin Chudong spread his hands to display again. At this time, the ring had disappeared and there was nothing in his hands!
There was a burst of applause from the audience.
Deng Siqing's eyes also widened, "Where's my ring! It's just gone. I should have asked you to write me an IOU just now!"
Deng Siqing's performance was also quite good. Lin Chudong gave her the broken ring backstage. In fact, she really wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
Lin Chudong said, "Everyone, if things are successful, then the ring should be in the egg now."
"Please help Sister Deng break the eggs, don't blink!"
Deng Siqing broke the egg and put it on the plate. The camera clearly captured a ring placed next to the yolk.
Lin Chudong picked it up with tweezers, and the audience burst into warm applause!
"nineteen……"
Such wonderful magic directly conquered the audience.
Qiu Chengdong nodded with satisfaction, the effect was good.
Although it was just a recording, the very good effect could already be seen from the footage. The audience applauded and applauded, making it the most applauded program at this party.
Qiu Chengdong said in the intercom, "Da Fei is good, everyone behind him should also work hard."
Qiu Chengdong had a hint of joy on his face. Although the Lantern Festival Gala was incomparable to the Spring Festival Gala, if a few classic programs became popular, it would add luster to his resume.
If nothing else, it’s just this magic trick. It doesn’t exist in the Spring Festival Gala, right?
The Spring Festival Gala Dafei is just a rubber band crossing. It is so simple and takes less than a minute in total.
But this time, it lasted for ten minutes, and the audience enjoyed watching it.
Lin Chudong came off the stage, and Deng Siqing took the ring back and put it on his hand.
Lin Chudong said, "Sister Deng, that's a fake, just throw it away."
Deng Siqing said, "No, I quite like it."
Lin Chudong smiled bitterly, "If you like it, I'll give you a nice one later. It's a prop, and it doesn't suit your status if you wear it!"
Deng Siqing's face showed a trace of expectation.
"when?"
"...I'll buy it for you after I finish recording the show."
"Um."
Deng Siqing's cheeks turned rosy.
…
The Lantern Festival party went very smoothly, Liang Yin and others were sitting in the lounge.
Lin Chudong said, "If you are fine, just leave. I have to watch the last program, otherwise I won't be relieved."
Liang Yin said, "It's okay. Let's wait with you."
"Well, that's okay, Teacher Zhao is the finale. Actually, Teacher Zhao's acting skills are quite good, but it's a pity that Mao Feifei is just average."
Lin Chudong was not very satisfied with that show. Mao Feifei's idol baggage was too heavy. Although he was quite handsome, since he was acting in a comedy, it was very uncomfortable to keep acting, which was a bit of a hindrance to Teacher Zhao.
Including the Spring Festival Gala, his performance would have been average if not for Lin Chudong's guidance.
But fortunately, with Teacher Zhao's perfect performance, he only needs to perform well.
When Lin Chudong was resting, the door suddenly opened.
Mao Feifei came in with a woman and said.
"Teacher Da Fei, this is my lover, Chen Ya."
Chen Ya smiled slightly at Lin Chudong, "Hello, Teacher Da Fei."
Lin Chudong was also polite, "Hello, sister-in-law, are you coming to visit the class?"
Mao Feifei said, "Da Fei, something happened to Bai Guixiang. She suddenly had a sore throat and couldn't speak. We have to replace her this time. Teacher Da Fei, please rehearse my lover a few times."
Lin Chudong frowned, "Bai Guixiang is speechless? When did it happen?"
"Just now, when you were performing magic, she might have eaten something wrong."
Lin Chudong felt that this matter was a bit strange. How could it be such a coincidence?
He even talked to Bai Guixiang when he finished singing. Why is he speechless now?
Lin Chudong left the lounge and walked to the public makeup area.
Mao Feifei and Chen Ya's expressions darkened, and they quickly followed.
Liang Yin and others also followed. Seeing that Da Fei was so angry, something didn't seem right.
When I arrived at the makeup area, I saw Bai Guixiang sitting alone and weeping.
Seeing Lin Chudong coming, he quickly wiped his hands and turned his head away.
"Sister Bai, what's wrong? You can't speak?"
Bai Guixiang nodded and glanced at Mao Feifei and his wife, with a hint of redness in her eyes.
Lin Chudong said, "I know a little bit about Chinese medicine, so I can help you."
As he spoke, he checked Bai Guixiang's pulse.
"Sister Bai, open your mouth and let me look at your throat."
After checking it, Lin Chudong's face turned cold.
"Sister Bai, is someone threatening you and not letting you speak?"
After the words fell, Mao Feifei suddenly became unhappy.
"Da Fei, what do you mean by this? Who can threaten her?"
Lin Chudong said, "Sister Bai has no health problems and her voice is healthy. Why are you suddenly speechless?"
Mao Feifei was a little angry, "If you ask me, who can I ask? Who can explain clearly what's wrong with her body?"
"Then I ask Sister Bai, why are you interrupting?"
"you……"
The quarrel between the two attracted Qiu Chengdong.
Director Qiu came over, frowning.
"What's going on?"
Mao Feifei said, "Director Qiu, Bai Guixiang is speechless. I asked my lover to save the scene quickly and let Da Fei rehearse. Da Fei is still not happy."
Qiu Chengdong glanced at Bai Guixiang and frowned deeper.
Lin Chudong said, "Sister Bai, don't be afraid. I will support you. Today's show is your chance to become famous. If you are afraid of losing your job in the future, I will sign you and join my company in the future."
Bai Guixiang and Mao Feifei are from the same drama troupe. Mao Feifei is bigger than her and naturally has more say in the work unit.
If he has a problem with her, he will inevitably wear small shoes for her in the future, which will make Bai Guixiang even more uncomfortable in the workplace.
Bai Guixiang gritted her teeth and lowered her head, still not daring to speak.
Zhao Jinrong walked over and frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The old artist had never seen anything before, and she had actually noticed this little bit.
"Xiao Mao, there are many opportunities to be on stage. Guixiang has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Don't be too embarrassed."
Bai Feifei said, "Teacher Zhao, it's not me who is making things difficult, it's her own physical problem. Why are you all pointing the finger at me?"
Liang Yin whispered, "Da Fei, what's going on? Isn't she speechless?"
Lin Chudong leaned into Liang Yin's ear and said, "Mao Feifei must have refused to let her speak. He found an excuse to let his wife go. He told me once before, but I refused."
Liang Yin frowned, why is the theater so dark?
Liang Yin also became angry and said to Bai Guixiang.
"Sister Bai, our company has established a film and television department. Have you seen "The Beginning"? We filmed it. If you have ideas, you can come to our company. The salary will be much higher than that of the drama troupe."
Bai Guixiang doesn't have a staff in the drama troupe. She doesn't know if she wants to be officially staffed until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Hearing what Liang Yin said, Bai Guixiang gritted her teeth.
"Mr. Liang, Da Fei, do you really want me?"
As soon as Bai Guixiang spoke, Mao Feifei's face suddenly turned ugly.
As soon as she spoke, didn't she admit in disguise that it was Mao Feifei who threatened her?
"Bai Guixiang, if you can speak, just speak. Why do you have to pretend that your voice is broken? You're making me seem like I'm not a human being inside and out!"
Lin Chudong said, "Sister Bai, your acting skills are good and you work hard. I admire you very much. After recording the show, I will show you our company's benefits."
"You have to be on the show later, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced."
Bai Guixiang nodded, and her heart suddenly became much brighter.
Chen Ya snorted coldly, "What kind of program does she have to be on? To put it bluntly, with this appearance and condition, she can't even be ranked in our unit."
"The effect of using me will be greatly reduced? Are you related to her?"
Mao Feifei said, "Da Fei, since my lover is already here, let me go with her. She is also a bigger celebrity than her and has a fan base, so let's make it that way."
Lin Chudong frowned, "What's the deal? Am I the director or are you the director?"
