A Magician with Super Powers

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Lekang found the bar in a Honda bought by the original owner for 8,000 yuan.

The original owner is also miserable. Both parents died on the stage, and the savings fluctuated between two and three figures. Halfway through college, he dropped out because he couldn't pay the tuition fees.

But this is all in the past tense. Li Lekang looked up at Black Jack's signboard. This bar is quite large. Although there are no customers in broad daylight, the decoration and furnishings inside can feel that it is under the standard.

After coming in and telling him what he wanted, he was taken to the backstage corridor. He wasn't the only one who came for the interview. After inquiring, everyone was a magician and wanted the job because the price offered here was high.

Li Lekang sat and waited quietly. The people who went in and out in front were frustrated and disappointed. They didn't seem very optimistic. When Li Lekang's name was called, he got up and straightened his clothes before stepping into the room.

The interviewee was a young Caucasian woman with curly hair and glasses, who looked very elegant in an OL outfit. She looked up at him and said, "There is nothing to say, please perform a magic trick that you are good at."

"I need a cup!"

Li Lekang went to the corner coffee machine to get a ceramic cup, filled it with coffee, it was still steaming hot, and sat down in front of the lady.

Judy watched indifferently, but her expression changed suddenly in the next second.

Li Lekang directly turned over the mouth of the cup and covered it with the palm of the other hand.

The scalding coffee did not bring the image of grinning as imagined. Li Lekang turned the cup over and straightened it, and it was already empty.

Then he showed that his hands were not carrying props, then put the coffee cup in the palm of his left hand, then raised his right hand high, and slammed it down,

Snapped!

The palms were pressed together, and the coffee cup disappeared.

Judy immediately checked his hands up and down, and even looked down at the bottom of the table. It was impossible to hide anything, and the coffee cup just disappeared out of thin air?

"Where did it go?"

Li Lekang raised his chin: "I can take a look at your bag."

With deep suspicion, she went to open the LV bag she kept next to her that no one could touch, unzipped it, and took out the coffee cup from it in shock.

"how did you do it?"

"It's a magician's top secret."

Li Lekang reached out to take the coffee cup, put it on the table, and put one hand in front of him, the coffee fell down and filled the cup, then he picked it up to greet the other party, and took a sip with a smile.

Judy felt that her world view had been subverted, and she still asked: "Is this true? This, how is this possible!"

"Usually I would say to the audience it's magic."

Li Lekang's smile was full of confidence.

In other words, this is brilliant magic.

Judy couldn't find any reason to reject him, and there was only one: "The show lasts about 10 minutes, and there are two sessions. How much do you want to pay?"

This stumped Li Lekang. As a novice in the industry, he didn't have time to find out how much his peers were paid, because he subconsciously felt that this was what the other party offered and he accepted it.

But Judy didn't follow the routine. She felt that this guy's skills crushed everyone. Even she had never seen such a weird magic trick, and she was not sure about the other party's price.

Neither of them knew what the other was thinking. After a few seconds of silence, Li Lekang tried to say a number: "500 dollars?"

"OK!"

Li Lekang secretly shouted less.

But he didn't know that the moment he exported, he was ready to be cut off by the other party because the price was too high. In fact, it was acceptable to cut half of it to 250. It is really hard for a penny to be a hero, and the rent for next month has not yet been paid!

In fact, the price is a bit high for Judy, but thinking about the amazing performance, if you want to hire a magician of this level, they are usually well-known, at least thousands of dollars or more. .

So she feels that this business can be tried, first spend a night to see the audience's reaction, if the effect is good, they can continue to cooperate.

She explained the work matters clearly: daily salary and follow-up cooperation to watch bars.

Li Lekang said that he can come to work tonight.

This is a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, and it is a refreshing signing and handshake.

Judy asked the assistant to inform: "There is no need for interviews in the future, we have found a suitable magician."

Li Lekang left, feeling proud and proud.

I knew that with this skill, how could we be hungry!

Frightened by Juan Ling's words, he was so stupid that he almost killed himself!

Driving home, I stopped by the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients. Today’s instant noodles add two more eggs and a piece of steak, and the yogurt does not lick the lid. It’s self-willed!

After shopping, I return to the apartment. The place is not big. It is a very traditional three-to-four-story townhouse. There are different rooms for rent. There are all kinds of people, including dream girls from Hollywood and literary youths from small towns. , **** who want to earn more while they are young, etc.

To say that the only advantage is that it is not far from Hollywood, and the world of those glamorous stars seems to be close at hand, within reach, but the reality often beats them all over. There are too many good-looking and talented people. Most people are still doing nothing.

Li Lekang eats his luxurious instant noodles, eats a big mouthful of beef, and then watches TV shows. There are singing, dancing and singing contests every year. Let's envy these lucky guys.

But it has nothing to do with me for the time being, first earn a quick sum of money, and then think about how to walk the road of magic superstar. It is impossible for him to work part-time in his life, and he must seize the opportunity.

I ate and thought about it, but didn't have a specific clue.

Seeing that it was still early, I practiced the "magic" to be performed for a few nights. After repeated several times, I put down my things, took a shower, changed clothes, and got ready to go to work in good spirits.

The nightlife of Americans is not as colorful as ours in China. It is mainly concentrated in various bars and nightclubs. There is no such thing as wandering in the streets at night. If you are not careful, you may be robbed by a gang of black people.

Most of the shops had already closed early, homeless people began to come and go, and occasionally some stopped cars at the intersection to beg for money, which made it hard to believe that this is the second largest city in the United States.

It didn't get better until Sunset Boulevard. This is a wealthy area with relatively good law and order, with abundant police force and constant patrols. Naturally, those rich people can spend more peace of mind.

Li Lekang parked the car, walked from the staff entrance to the Houtian lounge, and met Judy on the way. This capable lady was busy with the evening program, arranging this band and that singer.

Then also arranged for Li Lekang: "You go on stage after their performance, it is best to control the time to ten minutes, if the audience responds enthusiastically, you can also improvise."

"Does the extra time count as money?"

Li Lekang asked.

Judy looked at him suspiciously, and then laughed: "It seems that you are quite confident in yourself, count the money, if your performance is exciting enough."

"OK, I'll do my best!"
