"What are you guys doing?" Xie Yu pointed at the props on the table and the hundred-yuan bills in front of Zhou Xihao and asked in confusion.
"Magic has aesthetic fatigue, so innovation is very necessary.”Quanrong said as he adjusted his glasses.
"Well, you're right. A small change every day, a big change every seven days. This was actually the progress of the magic show. Otherwise, the audience would get bored after watching too much. Therefore, new magic shows were essential!”
Deqing Hu spread his hands, his face helpless.
"Hehe, this is a magic contest. Everyone will perform their new magic tricks and lower the stakes. Everyone will judge. The one with the least flaws will win.”
Zhou Xihao smiled and nodded. He shook the red wine in his hand and explained to Xie Yu.
"Then can I participate?" Xie Yu's eyes lit up. This was really timely help. If he won, he wouldn't have to worry about buying a cell phone.
Speaking of which, it was strange. He had seen a lot of mahjong, poker cards, dice, and so on, but this was the first time he had seen magic tricks. Hearing that Xie Yu wanted to play, everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their welcome.
"But I don't have any money on me." Xie Yu rummaged through his pockets with a look of pity.
" It's okay. I'll pay double next time." Deqing Hu waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.
"Come, come, come. Give me the deposit. 10000.”As he spoke, he reached into the girl's chest and took out a wad of money, placing it on the table.
Wu Quanrong also took out 10000 yuan and placed it on the table. He didn't take it from his chest, but from his pocket.
Xie Yu was secretly shocked. They were indeed rich people. He had seen a lot of gambling in the countryside. Usually, he would start betting around 10 yuan. He thought that this Magic Duel would be at most 100 to 200 yuan, but it was actually 10,000 yuan. The world of tycoons was really hard to understand. He wondered if it was too late to go back on his word now.
"Hehe, you two should stop hiding. Otherwise, don't cry when you lose until you're naked.”Zhou Xihao put down the red wine and counted 100 hundred-yuan bills in front of him. He had obviously won several times before.
The results of the draw were soon out. The first was Wu Quanrong, the second was Hu Deqing, the third was Xie Yu, and the last was Zhou Xihao. At this moment, the white-collar girl rummaged through the bag beside her and took out a few things to put on the table.
"Check the props." Quanrong gestured for everyone to look at his props.
There was a glass cup, a stainless steel ashtray, a one-yuan coin, and a fifty-cent coin. Hu Deqing and Zhou Xihao picked it up and put it down after a symbolic look. Only Xie Yu looked at it very seriously. He looked at four of them in a row and even knocked a few times, but he didn't find anything strange.
Seeing that everyone had finished watching, Wu Quanrong began to operate. He placed the one-yuan coin in the stainless steel ashtray and covered it with a glass cup. Then, he picked up the fifty-cent coin and tapped it on the glass cup a few times.
" Ding ding dang dang ", the sound of coins colliding could be heard. The 50 cent coin actually passed through the glass cup and fell into the ashtray, hitting the 1 yuan coin inside. Then, the two coins bounced up and kept colliding.
After he was done, he placed the props back on the table and signaled for everyone to check again.
"Drink a glass of wine." The white-collar girl beside him smiled and handed Wu Quanrong a glass of red wine. She was obviously very satisfied with this performance.
'This…How did he do it? Xie Yu was secretly surprised. He picked up the glass cup and carefully touched it inside and out. There was no mechanism. He even poured a cup of water, and it did not leak at all.
"Tsk tsk tsk…So that was the case. A 50 cent coin was smaller than a 1 yuan coin. When the glass cup was covered, the coin was already inside. In fact, it was covered by the 1 yuan coin on top.”
Deqing Hu took the stainless steel ashtray and placed two coins on it. Xie Yu looked at it and saw that the ashtray was not transparent. Unless he looked horizontally, he could not see the 50 cents below the 1 yuan.
"You should have two fifty-cent coins. You pretended to hide the coins when you were near the cup. Unfortunately, you didn't see where you hid them.”Hu Deqing sighed and looked at Zhou Xihao beside him.
"Mr. Xie Yu, do you have any suggestions?”Zhou Xihao asked Xie Yu gently with a smile.
"Er…You should do it." Xie Yu scratched his head awkwardly. He couldn't see through it at all. What suggestion?
"Then I'll accept your offer." Zhou Xihao drank the red wine in one gulp and continued,"The coin bounced up from a stainless steel ashtray, simulating the effect of a fifty cent coin hitting a one yuan coin.”
As he spoke, he pressed down on the stainless steel ashtray. Xie Yu realized that the bottom of the ashtray was indeed not parallel. It was slightly curved.
" Clang!" Zhou Xihao suddenly loosened his grip. The two coins bounced up and fell under the table.
"As for the other 50 cent coin…" Zhou Xihao opened the bottle of red wine and poured another glass of red wine. He swirled the glass a few times."It's just..."
He dragged out his words and continued after he had whetted his appetite,"It's in Nancy's pocket."
"Sigh…" Wu Quanrong sighed and ordered the white-collar girl to take out the coins from her pocket. He probably lost again.
"Tsk tsk, then let's start calculating the points. If two 50-cent Tibetan coins fail, two points will be deducted. One point will be deducted from the stainless steel bullet coins. Two points will be added to the two prop inspections before and after the surgery. Does anyone have any objections?"
Hu Deqing looked around and found that everyone was shaking their heads and waving their hands, so he nodded to confirm.
Then it was Deqing Hu's turn. He stood up and came to the opposite side of the five people. He took out a deck of poker cards and faced everyone."Now I have some poker cards in my hand. I will flip these cards later.”
"Is everyone ready? Of course, I don't want you to remember the first one. The first one is too obvious.”
Deqing Hu grabbed the poker card with his left hand and bent it with his right hand. Seeing everyone nod, he quickly flipped through it. Because the flip speed was too fast, Xie Yu actually didn't get a single card.
"Haha... I'm sorry, I accidentally flipped through it too quickly just now. I'll be slower this time.”Then, he flipped through it a second time.
"How is it? Did everyone see a card? Did you remember everything?" The others nodded. Xie Yu also expressed that he remembered it, thinking about the 8 of Clubs.
"Look, are the cards here?”
He spread out the cards on the table, and everyone looked left and right to show that they were not inside. Xie Yu's eyes were filled with confusion. She realized that the 8 of Clubs that she remembered was not in there either.
"Sometimes, when you're too close, you can't see what's on your mind. Look over there.”Deqing Hu pointed at the fireplace.
How did he do it? Xie Yu followed the other party's arm and saw that the television beside the fireplace had been turned on, and it was playing an 8 of clubs.
" A real magic trick is indeed powerful.'He was secretly shocked.
"Wow! Darling, how did you do it? This is the card I want. You're really amazing!" The sexy red-robed beauty ran over excitedly and kept kissing Hu Deqing's face.
On the other side, the white-collar girl and Wu Quanrong were also very surprised. This magic trick was obviously more advanced than the one they had just performed. Even Zhou Xihao nodded with certainty!
" Alright, you can check now." Deqing Hu gestured for everyone to look at the poker cards on the table with a smug look on his face.
"There are only 42 poker cards." the white-collar girl said softly.
"Alright, I didn't see any flaws.”Wu Quanrong exchanged a few glances with the girl beside him, then put down his poker cards and said helplessly.
Because the other party did not say that this was a complete deck of poker cards, this was not a flaw at all.
"Uh... I didn't see it either." Xie Yu rubbed his nose and decisively gave up. He didn't even check the poker cards. If this professional couldn't even tell, then he shouldn't embarrass himself!
" Hehe, there's a poker card in your left pocket." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou Xihao smiled and nodded.
He swirled his wine glass and thought for a few seconds before saying again,"It must have been hidden while we were watching TV. Is it a specially processed poker card?”
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Brother Zhou. The purpose of this poker card is to let you remember the 8 of Clubs. As for the theory behind it, you can slowly think about it.”
Deqing Hu proudly shook the poker card in his hand and immediately put it back into his bag, afraid that everyone would notice something. In that fleeting moment, everyone saw that it was actually an 8 of hearts, not an 8 of clubs. Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Hehe, let me calculate the points this time. One point will be deducted for failing to hide the playing cards, and one point will be added for the post-surgical examination. I think everyone is curious about our new colleague's magic, so I won't say much.”
Zhou Xihao made a noble etiquette and invited Xie Yu to perform.
