The pinnacle of magic

"Yes! Just stand there."

Shi Rui paused, turned around and showed the audience the wine glass with a smile.

"As I said, the ultimate range of this blow needle is 15 meters, which is exactly the distance from my feet to the wall over there. It must be reloaded after each use, which is probably its biggest weakness .”

The magician removes the blowpipe from his mouth, and with his other hand shows the audience a black poisonous needle, which he then loads into the blowpipe.

"But even so, no one dared to risk being the one who might be hit. This is the secret of the priests who can always maintain their high status in the tribe. Now, my dear, can you please raise your glass against the wall ?"

Shi Rui nodded, raised the wine glass to the level of his shoulders, and pressed it tightly against the white wall.

"Using this kind of blow needle to shoot is not as simple as it seems. In order to maintain concealment, the entire aiming process must be carried out inside the mouth." The magician slightly adjusted his head as if aiming, but when he spoke But the deadly blowpipe cannot be seen at all. "Moreover, it cannot be detected that there is a forceful blowing action in the moment before the launch. This requires the operator to have a strong control over the airflow coming out of the throat. .”

"Of course, in order to let everyone watch better, I will not deliberately hide the action of launching. Come on, Warren, you say one, two, three, and I will launch."

"Ha! Okay! I'm really looking forward to it!" Warren walked to the side of the magician with a smile, "Attention everyone. One... two... three!"

The magician made what looked like a grin, and immediately there was a soft snap on the other side of the wall.On the wine glass in Shi Rui's hand, a poisonous needle has been imbedded!The place where the black poisonous needle pierced the cup wall was only a few centimeters away from Shi Rui's thumb!

The guests burst into applause after being stunned for a few seconds.

"Hey! You can't let him pass so easily. Although it looks very dangerous, it is far from a miracle!" After the applause became thinner, Warren shouted loudly.

"Okay! I agree to add a little more difficulty." The magician shrugged helplessly, "Can anyone lend me a silk scarf? I might try shooting with my eyes covered."

"No, no, the transparency of the silk scarf is too high. Just use this." Warren took off his black tie, sideways to avoid the hand extended by the magician, "If you are asked to be blinded, it is as good as not blinded." It's almost there. How about this, how about letting the pretty lady over there do it for me?"

Being named by the famous Playboy for the second time, the well-dressed female star immediately pointed at herself with a surprised expression, as if she couldn't believe that she could be the focus in such a party.

"I have no objection." The magician smiled.

The female star came forward.Surrounded by important figures, this short few steps definitely made her more nervous than walking on the red carpet, Shi Rui even saw her calf trembling slightly.

"Tighten it tight, and don't let it loosen. Don't let this guy touch the tie. It will be useless if he touches it." Warren walked behind the female star and taught her how to make the magician completely lose his eyesight. .

"Well... that's about it."

After the Playboy finally expressed his satisfaction, the female star was so weak that she almost fell into his arms.

"Don't raise your hand!" Warren watched the magician's every move vigilantly.

"Okay, okay." The magician raised his arms, indicating that he didn't intend to cheat. "Now, who can change Miss Shirley's drink? The glass in her hand is no longer suitable for drinking!"

The waiter who took the first glass just now walked over to Shi Rui, and carefully took away the wine glass with the poisonous needle.The Oriental beauty thanked her in a low voice, took another goblet filled with wine calmly, and leaned the glass against the wall like last time.As if he had full confidence in the magician, the position of his fingers didn't even move down at all, and they were still pinching the top of the cup stem.

"Well, the glasses have been replaced. Clifford, may I begin to count?"

The magician who had just finished groping for the poisonous needle adjusted the angle of his head again, and then nodded slightly.This time he was obviously much more nervous than before.

"Attention everyone, one... two... three!"

With a snap, the audience's eyes immediately focused on Shi Rui's hand.A poisonous needle suddenly appeared on one side of the goblet, and the wine was gradually turning green!

Thunderous applause sounded again, and the magician let out a deep breath.Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, letting some golden hair stick to his cheeks.

"Wait! I found out! You haven't moved your feet since just now!" Hua Lun suddenly pointed at the magician's feet and shouted loudly.Obviously, he didn't intend to let the magician go so easily.

"Uh...it has nothing to do with the standing position, it has to be shot entirely by feeling." The magician tried to explain.

"In this way, you can hit the shot, and you can definitely make it a little more difficult. My requirements are not high, I just ask you to turn around three times and shoot again. What do you think? Should it be done again?"

The cunning playboy can fully mobilize the audience's emotions with just one sentence.The call to do it again is getting louder and louder, and the voice of the female star leaning on his side is particularly prominent among them.

"Hey, Warren, you're taking an opportunity to get revenge!" The magician couldn't help complaining, and then nodded resignedly, "Okay! I can do three turns, but you have to make sure it's the last one."

"Of course, my dear Clifford, if you manage to hit it this time, I'll give you my 'Golden Lightning'."

"What use would I want a horse?" whispered the magician.

"I can discount it to you." Warren whispered.

The magician nodded.

"Okay, everyone! The exciting moment has finally arrived. Clifford is going to turn around three times before shooting for the last time. For safety's sake, those who are standing in that direction, please move a few steps aside. ?Fine, let's get started!"

After the magician installed the poisonous needle, he still raised his arms flat with his palms up, and then began to slowly circle in a clockwise direction.

One circle, two circles, three circles.

He stopped and moved his footsteps slightly left and right, as if confirming his direction.So far, his general direction is still accurate.

"Okay! Now let's change the glasses."

Hua Lun excitedly ran up to Shi Rui, put aside the glass with the poisonous needle embedded in his hand, and handed over an identical wine glass.

Just as Shi Rui leaned the wine glass against the wall, Hua Lun shook it with his index finger.A smirk flashed across the playboy's face, he grabbed Shi Rui's hand and pulled the glass in front of Shi Rui, making a normal gesture of holding a wine glass.As if he didn't realize how dangerous it was, the playboy even smiled at Shi Rui after fixing Shi Rui's posture, and then turned and walked back to the magician.

After silencing the audience, Warren said loudly, "Okay, the glasses are done. Clifford, I'm counting down!"

"Wait!" The magician took a few deep breaths, "Okay."

The guests stared at Shi Rui without blinking.Although no panic could be found on the face of the Oriental beauty, almost everyone believed that the next performance would not be successful.Either the magician missed the wall, or a murder was about to happen.Some of the guests believed that the reason why Shi Rui was able to remain calm was that he knew in advance that the poisonous needle would not be fatal.

"Attention everyone! Let me count, one...two..."

"three!"

There was a soft snap.

To everyone's surprise, on the wine glass in Shi Rui's hand, an identical black poisonous needle appeared in almost the same position as the last two times! ! !

Sharp, conical, with dark reflections, this invitation letter from God of Death and Shi Rui's finger are only separated by half a fingernail, and nearly one-third of the end of the needle is still outside the wine glass!

The audience watched in shock as the liquid in the glass gradually turned green, and after Shi Rui raised the glass and made a toast gesture, they paused for a few seconds before starting to cheer loudly.Several young girls even screamed, words like "I can't believe it", "Oh my God", "This is impossible" kept appearing in the surrounding crowd.Even Warren blinked his eyes in a daze, and began to wonder whether his last whim change had already fallen into the magician's expectation.

"Great! Clifford, as I said earlier, you are the best!" Playboy was as excited as everyone else present.

"Wow! Did you see that? Did you see that? This is 'Miracle Angel' Clifford. Whistle! My God! How the hell did you do it? Wow! This is so cool!"

The magician reached out and pulled off the tie covering his eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief. "Remember to discount it to me." He patted Shanyou on the shoulder, then walked towards Shi Rui with a smile.Almost every face of the people around was full of astonishment, and even the eyes of those very rich old foxes showed a certain degree of doubt, which made him feel very good.

"Honey, I hope I didn't scare you." The magician took the wine glass from Shi Rui's hand and put it on the tray beside him.

"No, not at all. I just want to know..." Shi Rui chuckled and almost pressed his lips to the magician's ear, "When will the performance props be returned to you?"

The magician's expression froze, and then he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and his laughter tended to grow larger. "Hahahaha... honey, when did you see it? I thought it was hidden?"

"When you chose the wine glass as the target? If you hadn't tampered with me, such a performance would have been impossible. But I'm a little curious, what would happen if I didn't use my right hand to catch the glass?"

"I can personally correct your posture and let you raise your glass with your right hand. After using your right hand for the first time, generally few people will choose to switch next time. Even if it is really switched, I have other ways to ensure a hit. My dear, How could I be willing to let you take risks?"

Shi Rui turned a blind eye to the magician's enthusiasm, his eyes fell on the golden bracelet on his wrist: "I will return this to you after I leave here."

"No, no, no, you don't need to return it! Please treat it as a small gift to celebrate the success of the first cooperation! Later, I will give you the remote control, and you can use it to pick up coins or something." The magician grabbed Shi Yue's hand Hand, "Come on! Tonight's performance is over, let's enjoy the banquet. Is there anyone you want to meet in particular? I can introduce you."

Even in such a banquet, the crowd is automatically divided into several distinct circles.People from different circles may occasionally chat a few words, but most of the time people always like to stay in their own circles.And there is no doubt that the most suitable circle for a magician is a woman!

Whether you are a lady or a socialite, your eyes always light up when you see a magician.In their life circle, there are many handsome men, but there is only one handsome man who is as mysterious as a magician.

Clifford.Huai Shi, a miracle angel, is a "killer" who instantly kills women aged eight to 80.

In Shi Rui's view, magicians really don't need to perform to attract these women.Just the steady stream of hormones emanating from this man who occasionally tells a dirty joke or two is enough to make them fascinated.It was a strong attraction brought about by class differences, mixed with the magician's own personal color. Even if the men present thought that the magician was just a nouveau riche and a poor boy who rose to the sky in one step, their wives had already Be won over by the unique charm of this man!

In just 5 minutes, Shi Rui felt that he had almost become the public enemy of all the women present because he was constantly touted by the magician with endless compliments.He can be sure that the magician must be having fun in his heart at this moment.Because usually in such a situation, the jealous female creature will easily develop a sense of pride and urgency to defend the territory.

Unfortunately, the magician met Shi Rui.

The oriental beauty, who always smiled lightly, didn't seem to think about how to protect her "territory" at all. In his eyes, the harvest tonight has come to an end.Working with the magician for the first time allowed him to understand a part of this person's personality, and more aspects have yet to be discovered.And these ups and downs in the love field are not within the scope of his investigation at all, and he is only bored by constantly receiving new piercing eyes.

So, when Hua Lun suddenly whispered a few words into the magician's ear, and the latter explained to him that he would go out for a cigarette and come back later, Shi Rui finally regained his energy.

"No, she never smoked."

If I heard correctly, the magician just rejected Warren in such a low voice.

Funny, it meant there was something he didn't want to get involved with himself.Shi Rui put down his untouched wine glass, turned around and walked in the direction where the magician and Hua Lun left.
