第一步:魔術展示
Today I will show you a trick called the jumping match. The only thing you will need is two matches. Now watch closely. I gently hold a match like this and place the other one on top, by using the power of thought I shall try to make the top match jump. This part needs a high degree of concentration so bear with me while I concentrate. Wow! did you see that! Let's see that one more time.
今天,我將向你展示跳躍火柴的魔術。你唯一需要的是兩根火柴。現在密切注意。我輕輕地舉著一根,而另一根在上面,我使用念力,我將努力使上面的火柴跳躍。這部分需要高度的集中,所以我集中精神時請寬恕我。哇!你是否看到!讓我們再看一遍。
Step 2: Audience Participation
第二步:觀眾參與
Now is the perfect time to let your spectators try, but of course, there is more to this trick than the power of thought. So unless someone watching knows the trick or is capable of doing it, they won't be able to repeat it. I will now show you how to perform the trick.
現在是讓你的觀眾參與嘗試的最佳時機 ,但是,當然相比念力,這個把戲還有更多。因此,除非有人了解這個魔術或者有能力這樣做,他們不會重蹈覆轍。我將向你揭秘這個魔術。
Step 3: Magic Trick Explained
第三步:魔術揭秘
The reason for holding the bottom match like this is that I am pressing the match hard against my nail. This will cause direct friction. I now press up on the bottom match making it move in small invisible jerks this will transfer to the top match making it jump and that was the jumping match revealed.
拿著火柴底部的原因是我用指甲在按壓火柴。這將導致直接摩擦。我現在底部的火柴使得它產生無形的搖晃,從而轉移到頂部的火柴,因而呈現火柴的跳躍。
