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?
讓紙杯漂浮在半空中,這究竟是如何做到的?魔術師克里斯蒂安·李將向我們揭示其中的玄機。但他真的是用自己頭腦嗎?
Step 1: You will need
第一步:你需要準備的東西
a polystyrene cup
一個聚苯乙烯杯子
a sharp knife or scissors
一把鋒利的刀或剪刀
a little magical know-how
有點不可思議的“魔法”
Step 2: The trick
第二步:表演把戲
Let's see that again.
讓我們再看一遍。
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.
在你的手間握住杯子,集中你的所有所有精力在杯子上。釋放你的手。集中精力!讓它漂浮的!現在用你的手引導它回到桌子上。
Step 3: How it's done
第三步:揭秘其中玄機
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.
秘訣就是你并不是在真正的用你的頭腦。杯子的后面有一個洞。用一把鋒利的刀或剪刀在杯子的一端剪開一個洞。它需要足夠大以便你能夠放入一根拇指。這可以讓你在抬高杯子的時候沒有人發現。
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.
把它從桌子上舉起,全程讓你的眼睛注視緊盯它。慢慢張開手,看似遠離杯子杯。看起來就好像它是漂浮在半空中!現在你已經準備好這個表演了。
Once you've perfected it, impress your friends. And maybe some women.
一旦你已經做到完美無瑕,給你的朋友,甚至一些姑娘展示吧。
