I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 735 - 504: Slapping the Face

He immediately passed the spoon to the little girl.

The little girl took the spoon and pretended to control it with her mind, staring intently. Then, mimicking Peng Changye's earlier performance, she pinched the middle of the spoon with her right thumb and index finger. She applied a bit of force with those two fingers while gently hooking the other end of the spoon with her pinky.

Before their very eyes, the spoon in her hand began to bend bit by bit, and in the end, it had surprisingly straightened out again.

"Uncle, is my performance of this mind-controlled spoon trick good enough to get an S Card?" the little girl asked with a mischievous blink. "I'm a loyal fan of 'Magic Night,' too. I've watched every episode. I love magic, but no one has ever taught me. It's so lucky I ran into you today!"

The S Card was a card of recognition that Peng Changye had given to a rookie magician on the show "Magic Night." That move drew jeers from all over the internet, but Peng Changye had defended it with some specious reasoning.

Hearing the little girl's innocent words, the surrounding crowd broke out in laughter. Naturally, some of them were also fans of the show and knew she was teasing Peng Changye.

"HAHAHA, that's hilarious! This little girl is just too adorable."

"Little sister, your magic is awesome, just like Master Peng's. I think you definitely deserve an S Card!"

"It seems like this magic trick isn't that difficult if even a little girl can do it. I want to try, too!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Changye's face immediately flushed crimson. He, of course, knew the little girl was making fun of him. However, he couldn't very well lose his temper in front of everyone, so he could only manage a smile.

"Little sister, your magic is right on point. If you get the chance, come to 'Magic Night,' and I'll definitely give you an S Card!"

After that, the spoon was passed between seven or eight onlookers. Anyone who took it found they only had to touch it lightly. It didn't take much force at all for the spoon to deform, becoming as soft as noodles.

"So the spoon was a trick spoon, no wonder! I knew it! How could anyone actually bend a spoon with their mind?"

"There's some kind of powder on this spoon. I bet that's the secret to the trick."

"Master Xu's mind magic isn't all that great, HAHAHA, I can do it too!"

Listening to the crowd's comments, Peng Changye kept his composure, but inside he was seething.

After all, he called himself a master magician. Having his trick exposed on the spot like this was intensely humiliating. It was like someone smashing your rice bowl right in front of you, turning you into a complete laughingstock.

Still, Peng Changye was a shrewd man. He continued with a smile.

"Magic is inherently performed using various techniques and props. It's normal for it to be figured out. There is no perfect magic trick in this world. Every trick has its flaws; it's just a matter of whether you can find them. Besides, my performance today was just to entertain everyone."

With that, Peng Changye clapped his hands.

"Since you've all discovered the flaw in my magic, it only proves that my technique still has room for improvement and I have much to learn. However, I am very curious to see what kind of magic this Magician Xia Shen will perform for us and just how professional his techniques are. Let's all wait and see, shall we?"

It had to be said that Peng Changye's mindset and adaptability were quite strong. Since no one was giving him an easy way out of his predicament, he had to create one for himself.

At this moment, hearing Peng Changye's words, the crowd immediately turned their attention to Xia Liang.

"God Xia, you have to perform a flawless magic trick and show Peng Changye a thing or two."

"Yeah, just like your other tricks! I still can't find any flaws in them!"

"Do the item-switching trick again! I studied that one for a day and a night and still couldn't figure out how you did it."

Xia Liang gave a faint smile and addressed the crowd.

"Magic is called magic because it uses various props and highly specialized techniques to accomplish the impossible. The methods and processes are secretive; they are a magician's most guarded secrets and the very source of magic's charm. If exposed, it loses its spectacle and mystery, becoming worthless."

With that, Xia Liang gave Peng Changye an ambiguous smile.

"Of course, just as Master Peng said, there is no such thing as a flawless magic trick in the world. It all comes down to the performer's skill and the audience's sharp eyes. Now, the magic I'm about to perform for you is very simple. Perhaps many veterans and peers in the Magic Circle have performed it countless times. In fact, it's a trick you've all probably played with yourselves: Coin Magic!"

Coin magic is a simple trick that's easy to learn. With enough practice, almost anyone can do it.

But as Xia Liang had said, once any magic trick is exposed, it loses its mystique and can no longer truly be called magic.

Yet, the same trick performed by different people can produce vastly different effects.

Hearing that Xia Liang was going to perform Coin Magic, the audience showed knowing smiles, and a hint of anticipation began to stir among them.
