Make a Cup Float in Mid Air. Magician Christian Lee shows us how to make a cup float in mid air. But is he really using the power of his mind?
让纸杯漂浮在半空中,这究竟是如何做到的?魔术师克里斯蒂安·李将向我们揭示其中的玄机。但他真的是用自己头脑吗?
Step 1: You will need
第一步:你需要准备的东西
a polystyrene cup
一个聚苯乙烯杯子
a sharp knife or scissors
一把锋利的刀或剪刀
a little magical know-how
有点不可思议的“魔法”
Step 2: The trick
第二步:表演把戏
Let's see that again.
让我们再看一遍。
Grasping the cup between your hands, focus all your mind energy on the cup. Release your hands. Concentrate! It's floating! Now guide it with your hands back down onto the table.
在你的手间握住杯子,集中你的所有所有精力在杯子上。释放你的手。集中精力!让它漂浮的!现在用你的手引导它回到桌子上。
Step 3: How it's done
第三步:揭秘其中玄机
The secret is you're not really using your mind at all. There's a hole in the back of the cup. Use a sharp knife or some scissors to cut a hole in one side of the cup, near the base. It needs to be big enough for you to be able to fit a thumb in it. This allows you to raise the cup without anyone seeing.
秘诀就是你并不是在真正的用你的头脑。杯子的后面有一个洞。用一把锋利的刀或剪刀在杯子的一端剪开一个洞。它需要足够大以便你能够放入一根拇指。这可以让你在抬高杯子的时候没有人发现。
Bring it higher off the table, keeping your eyes on it at all times. Slowly unwrap your fingers from around the cup. It will appear as though it is floating in mid air! Now you're ready for the show.
把它从桌子上举起,全程让你的眼睛注视紧盯它。慢慢张开手,看似远离杯子杯。看起来就好像它是漂浮在半空中!现在你已经准备好这个表演了。
Once you've perfected it, impress your friends. And maybe some women.
一旦你已经做到完美无瑕,给你的朋友,甚至一些姑娘展示吧。
