As Xiao Rui revealed the object in his left hand, everyone in the room was taken aback. Xiang Rong and the others couldn’t help but suppress their laughter. In his hand, Xiao Rui held a stack of red paper that looked like it had been hastily folded.
Its lackluster appearance left everyone wondering what kind of magic trick could be performed with such an unimpressive stack of paper.
As Xiao Rui noticed the curious gazes of those around him, he grew even more confident. Taking a deep breath, he pretended to blow on the stack of papers before tossing it casually into the air.
The folded paper seemed to dance, drawing a graceful arc before it began to descend. It looked as though it was about to fall, which made everyone feel slightly embarrassed. What kind of magic was this, they wondered?
At that moment, Xiao Rui too began to feel a sense of doubt. What if the stack of paper really did just smash onto the ground, or worse yet, what if he had been duped by Su Jing?
But just as the thought crossed his mind, the stack of paper suddenly began to expand, like an inflating balloon. And with a soft “puff,” it transformed into a beautiful red heart that slowly began to float upwards.
The sudden transformation left everyone stunned, their eyes widening in surprise. It was a simple trick, but it had completely exceeded their expectations.
Though it may not have been the most dazzling of magic tricks, it was still an impressive sight to behold. After all, they weren’t professional magicians and couldn’t ask for much more.
Hehe, that’s interesting.” Lu Qinming chuckled, finding the magic trick performed by Xiao Rui to be quite entertaining.
“This magic trick, does it use memory metal?” However, Xiang Rong’s companion, a young man, seemed to have figured out the secret behind it and asked.
.
Puzzled, one of the girls in the group asked, “What’s memory metal?”
In response, the young man began to explain, “Simply put, memory metal is a type of metal that can remember its original shape and recover quickly. In this case, the metal is first molded into the shape of a heart and then embedded into the paper. Even if it’s folded and thrown, the metal will quickly return to its original heart shape.”
Curious, another girl asked, “But why does the paper heart float up?”
“It’s probably filled with hydrogen gas, which makes it buoyant,” the young man replied matter-of-factly.
“Oh, I see,” the girls responded, their interest in the magic trick suddenly waning. The explanation had taken away the mystery and magic of the trick, leaving them feeling underwhelmed.
Xiao Rui was taken aback by the sudden transformation of the paper into a red heart. Even though he had performed the trick himself, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement.
But his momentary satisfaction was short-lived, as he watched Xiang Rong’s cronies quickly dismantle the trick. Xiao Rui couldn’t help but feel a sense of resentment toward them.
However, he knew that he couldn’t give up halfway through the performance. He still had the second half to do, and it was a simple trick that wouldn’t take much time.
With a stack of white and flesh-colored paper in his right hand, he threw it out nonchalantly, not bothering to blow it up.
To everyone’s surprise, the stack of papers suddenly spread out, and they witnessed a miraculous scene. The paper had transformed into a chubby baby with a pair of white wings on its back and a bow and arrow in its hand.
The baby was so lifelike that it seemed almost real, and what was even more astonishing was that its wings were flapping, propelling it forward like an angel.
At first glance, it appeared to be a paper cut-out, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was something far more complex. Even the most skilled manipulator would have difficulty controlling it with such precision, let alone without any visible means of control.
Memory metal could control the shape, but could it replicate the flapping of wings? And although hydrogen could make it fly, could it maintain altitude and even move up and down like a bird?
As the little angel performed the trick, the audience was left completely bewildered, their minds unable to discern how it had been accomplished. They watched in awe as the little angel flew effortlessly in the air, his small arrow in hand.
Suddenly, with a swift motion, he pulled away the arrow and released it just in time to hit the red heart that had been flying in the air, piercing it through the center. The meaning of Cupid’s arrow was now made abundantly clear to all.
The sound of two muffled “Peng” and “Peng” filled the air as the red heart and the little angel turned into mere paper-like balloons that had been punctured.
With that, the magic show had come to an end, leaving the audience in a state of wonder and amazement. The trick had been executed flawlessly, and yet, its secrets remained shrouded in mystery.
“This is so interesting,” Lu Qinming muttered to himself while staring in disbelief as he witnessed the incredible magic trick. He was left completely dumbfounded, unable to process what he had just seen, and was still in shock.
Mother Lu was equally amazed, her jaw dropping as she watched the magician perform his trick. “It’s amazing magic,” she exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the stage.
Lu Lu, Mu Ting, and the rest of the audience were equally astounded, their eyes wide with wonder. “How did you do this?” they all asked in unison, their curiosity piqued.
“Can you still do something like this using Memory metal?” One girl in the audience couldn’t contain her excitement and blurted out.
The young man who had been deciphering the trick just moments before was taken aback by the question. He was both embarrassed and puzzled, unsure of how to respond.
“This…” he stammered, “There’s no way that mere memory metal can do it.” The mystery behind the magic trick had left everyone in the audience bewildered and amazed, eager to uncover its secrets.
A young man leaned in close to Xiang Rong, his voice barely above a whisper. “Brother Xiang, what’s going on?” he asked, his curiosity piqued by the incredible magic trick that had just unfolded before their eyes.
“Don’t talk, let me think about it.” Xiang Rong lowered his voice, deep in thought as he tried to make sense of what he had just witnessed. His mind raced at lightning speed, searching for any clues that might help him understand the trick.
But despite his best efforts, he could find no explanation for the incredible feat he had just witnessed.
