Chapter 2726-2738 [Magician on the Stage]
Time flies, and soon it is the day for the performance of the "Sakonji Magic Troupe".
Although Suzuki Sonoko was disgusted, she still came over out of curiosity.
Seeing the promotional posters outside the venue, she was even more disgusted: "They use other people's magic, but they have the nerve to write the words 'original magic' in such large letters. How shameless!"
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked around and stopped at one spot. He walked over and pulled out the younger brother who was trying to hide in the crowd: "Mr. Hashimoto, you are here too?"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Of course. The magician hasn't been found yet, so the work has to continue...
Not far away, Mao Lilan also made a discovery: "Huh?"
She saw an old man who looked familiar.
——Across the street, James was holding popcorn and souvenirs distributed by the circus across the street. He was wearing casual clothes and pretending to be an ordinary tourist, strolling all the way to the entrance of the magic museum.
She whispered to Suzuki Sonoko: "Is this old man the one who was taken away by Inspector Megure in the magic museum last time?"
Suzuki Sonoko took a look and was a little surprised: "Really? I don't know what crime he committed... But he was released so quickly. Maybe he was just taken away by the police to cooperate with the investigation?"
Conan heard their conversation: "?!"
He quickly looked over, and then stared at James' face in shock: Yes, how could this person who was suspected of having a shady deal with Hashimoto Maya in the Magic Arena be released so quickly? He didn't even have time to ask anything!
"Is it because of insufficient evidence?" Conan looked a little unhappy, and quickly pondered, "That's right, the police can't arrest and detain people without reason. Maybe this cunning old man was well prepared, so he escaped."
"Little devil, stop being in a daze."
A brainstorming session is in progress when the show approaches and the magic begins.
Suzuki Sonoko shouted to the elementary school student, "Follow the adults closely. There are so many people here, don't get trampled when you enter."
Conan was forced to come back to his senses: "..." Am I that short? You should worry about yourself first.
Hashimoto Maya, who was dragged into the team by Jiang Xia, said: "..." These two people are really fighting with each other all the time. Forget it, let them fight, and I just need to sit back and reap the benefits.
As the audience gradually took their seats, behind the stage curtain, the "clown" Sakonji looked at the gradually filling seats and laughed: "Look, this is my world!"
Unfortunately, no one heard what he said: three of his fellow magicians died, his manager was imprisoned, the trainee female magician resigned in anger, and the "medium" was driven away by him... The once bustling fantasy magic troupe is now left with only him.
It should have been a lonely and desolate scene, but the "clown" Sakonji felt very good: he was tired of his life as a background board in the magic troupe - it was thanks to him that he got the "Konnomiya Magic Notes", but the three accomplices were ungrateful and treated him as a clown as before, and even divided the magic that should have belonged to him alone with him...
"Oh, so to speak, Gao Yuanyaoyi saved me a lot of trouble. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid one day I wouldn't be able to resist taking action against those idiots." The more the "clown" thought about it, the more he felt that he was a winner in life. "The destiny is in my hands. Next, it's time to reach the peak of my own!"
As time goes by, circus-like group magic should be phased out - it is better to learn from Xinghe Tongwu who was imprisoned a few days ago, show personal charm, and create a fan club that belongs to you alone.
It was almost time, the "clown" looked at his watch, snapped his fingers, and signaled to the newly hired staff: the show was about to begin.
The staff members understood and immediately got busy. Under their division of labor, the magic venue began to operate in an orderly manner.
As the warm-up ended, the "clown" broke out of the painting and appeared in front of everyone.
Amidst the applause, Sakonji stood in the center of the stage and raised his arms: "Dear audience, welcome to watch the magic show of 'Clown' Sakonji!"
As he finished speaking, the curtain behind him slowly opened, revealing a huge rock that was as tall as a person.
The earth-gray rocks stood upright on the ground, attracting the curious eyes of the audience.
Sakonji patted the "rock" that he had spent a lot of time and effort on, and smiled.
This was one of the most stunning magic tricks he had found in the magic notebook. He decided to use this magic trick as an opening to establish his reputation in the Tokyo magic world with a strong attitude.
There are some magic tricks of similar level in "Magic Notes", but the rock magic in front of him is the most suitable for him - the "Fantasy Magic Group Serial Murder Case" has just happened and the popularity is the highest at this moment. If he wants to catch this popularity, he must hold his special magic show as soon as possible.
But magic requires practice, and in these few days, he really didn't have much time to practice. So Sakonji suddenly had an idea and turned his attention to props - he was a prop master, and this rock magic was tailor-made for him. He had thought about how to perform it before, and now it was time for it to be officially released.
“Now, I will enter this rock and float in the air with it,” Sakonji told the audience.
"Then the rock will be surrounded by flames and turned into ashes. And I will be reborn from the ashes - I will name it 'Gravity-Free Rock, Disappearing from the Sky'!"
The audience politely made noises of surprise - this really sounds amazing and worth looking forward to.
In the corner where the high school students were, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help muttering, "He must have stolen this magic trick from the 'Konnomiya Magic Notes'. Ms. Kinmiya's naming skills are really in the same vein as the 'Hell Puppet Master'... Come to think of it, this guy on the stage copied the magic trick and even copied the name. How arrogant."
The "clown" Sakonji did not hear her muttering. He now adopted an exaggerated and funny listening posture, as if he was listening to the voices of the audience.
He soon answered his own question: "Huh? Me? Haha, I'll be fine - after all, I'm a magician! We magicians make a living by disappearing."
During the pleasant interaction, the staff walked onto the stage and handcuffed him.
A door slowly opened on the rock behind him, revealing a cavity inside. The "clown" Sakonji waved his hands in all directions and stood inside.
As his sight rose higher, he suddenly saw several familiar-looking high school students in the audience.
Suddenly remembering the experience of Hoshigawa Dougo performing an underwater escape magic trick not long ago, but being nearly smashed by an enthusiastic audience, the "clown" Sakonji quickly added: "Please don't panic if anything happens during the magic trick. Especially if you hear me shout "It's hot", don't throw water on me - just leave everything to the magician!"
