The performance proceeded as scheduled, with the clown magician starting with the most basic acts, but even so, it was refreshing and innovative.
Laymen watched the spectacle with gasps of surprise.
"Disappearing playing cards," "Floating apples," "Playing cards spitting out of the mouth," "Origami cranes turning into doves"...
In less than ten minutes, the clown magician had already performed more than ten magic tricks in a row.
Jiang Yunxiao and the others in the first row couldn't understand what was happening, so they silently took out their phones to take pictures.
Lin Xun also watched the scene on stage with surprise and amazement.
You can play it like this?
He had only ever seen magicians perform online before; this was his first time witnessing one in person.
Moreover, at such close range, it's impossible to tell how the other party is changing.
"I know how to spit out playing cards."
Su Qingshi suddenly said.
Lin Xun immediately turned into a curious child and leaned closer: "Senior, what do you mean?"
Su Qingshi explained softly, "So-called magic is just a kind of illusion. As long as the speed is fast enough, there is no magic. The reason why he can shuffle cards out of his mouth is actually very simple. The cards were originally in his hand, no, maybe in some prop. He took them out when no one was paying attention, and then shuffled the cards out with his fingers the instant he reached out of his mouth."
Lin Xun listened, but only vaguely understood.
"This is a fairly common magic trick, and many enthusiasts know it."
Su Qingshi stopped talking after that.
Her father could do it too; when she was little, she often asked him to perform for her.
Soon, the magic show ended, and the special act began, even the judges in the front row became more attentive.
At this moment, the stage is filled with many large props, cabinets, black cloths, and so on.
The clown magician faces the audience, his expression somewhat comical in his clown costume. He unintentionally performs a small magic trick, always eliciting applause and cheers from the audience.
The clown magician didn't say a word the whole time, but his gaze swept across the front row, lingered on Jiang Yunxiao for a second, and then subtly moved away.
Jiang Yunxiao, whose attention was entirely focused on him, also noticed it. She was somewhat surprised, but she already had some guesses in her mind, so her expression did not change.
The props were set up, and now, the clown finally spoke.
"For the next magic trick, I'd like to invite a few lucky audience members to experience it."
As soon as the clown magician finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
To Lin Xun's surprise, Gou Shengli, who was standing next to him, stood up and shouted "Me! Me! Me!" and ran up to him.
"This guy, does he have the physique of a bull?"
Liu Gang and the others watched this scene speechlessly.
"I also want to go up and experience it, but I don't dare." Du Ling'er looked at Gou Shengli's figure with envy.
Not only Gou Shengli, but also some other social elites rushed towards the stage.
…
Three hours had passed by the time the magic show ended.
The magic show was almost over.
Lin Xun looked at the senior student beside him and noticed that she looked tired.
Are you tired?
Su Qingshi nodded.
After watching for several hours with all your might, anyone would get tired.
"Senior, should we sleep a little longer? Or should we suggest we quit?" Lin Xun asked.
Su Qingshi shook her head and then said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Lin Xun immediately said, "I'll go with you."
After saying goodbye to the others, Lin Xun and Su Qingshi quietly left the film set.
Gymnasium restrooms.
As Su Qingshi entered the restroom, Lin Xun also went into the men's restroom to relieve himself.
Two minutes later, I washed my hands, came out, and waited for my senior at the door.
To be honest, after sitting for three hours, he was a little numb.
A girl came out of the girls' restroom, and Lin Xun subconsciously looked at her, and she looked at him as well.
Lin Xun was disappointed: It wasn't a senior student.
Girl: Wow! What a handsome guy!
"Hey handsome, are you waiting for your girlfriend?" the girl asked tentatively.
Lin Xun glanced at the girl, his expression indifferent: "Hmm."
Believe it or not, after spending so much time with his senior, Lin Xun has even managed to mimic her aloofness.
Upon hearing this, the girl's bright eyes immediately dimmed, showing some disappointment.
Hey, have all the handsome guys been booked?
"Sorry to bother you."
The girl left disappointed.
Lin Xun ignored her and looked down at his phone to avoid embarrassment.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xun saw someone coming out of the girls' restroom, but this time she didn't look up.
"Lin... Brother Xun?"
A surprised voice rang out, tinged with shock and joy.
Lin Xun raised his head blankly and looked at the girl who had spoken. The girl was very beautiful, wearing a light yellow dress. She was tall, with fair skin and delicate features. She had the air of a well-bred lady and was also somewhat gentle and weak, which made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.
"Who are you?"
Lin Xun asked, puzzled.
The girl was clearly surprised that Lin Xun had forgotten her so quickly. Her expression stiffened for a moment, but she maintained a polite smile: "I'm Chen Yingying. I met you at the Imperial Capital Hotel last time. My mother knows you, Auntie."
Lin Xun thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, yes, he had indeed encountered it when his mother took him back to Beijing for dinner during the National Day holiday.
It was her.
"Oh, it's you. It's been so long, I almost forgot."
Chen Yingying remained silent.
A month doesn't seem like a long time, does it? With her charm, the other party has already forgotten?
At that moment, she began to doubt her own charm.
If Lin Xun knew what she was thinking, he would probably be speechless. Although a month is not short, it is already a long time for him.
So much has happened this past month.
Especially after he started dating his senior, it felt like they had been dating for several years.
"Brother Lin Xun, are you here to see the magic show too?" Chen Yingying asked curiously.
Hearing the other person address him like that, Lin Xun felt a little strange. Wasn't that a bit too intimate? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were childhood sweethearts.
However, out of consideration for his elders, he turned a blind eye and nodded, "Yes, you are too?"
Chen Yingying nodded, her voice gentle and soft, like a girl next door: "The clown magician is one of my favorite magicians, and his deeds are admirable."
Lin Xun understood what she meant.
Indeed, the Joker magician donated all the money he earned to the foundation, which alone shows his selflessness and noble character.
Lin Xun didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Chen Yingying felt a little awkward, then she asked, "Brother Lin Xun, are you free tonight? How about I treat you to dinner?"
Lin Xun said calmly, "No need, I'm not free tonight."
"Oh? Is there something you need, Brother Lin Xun?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Yingying's eyes.
"He wants to spend the night with me, is that a problem?"
Just then, a cold voice came from behind.
