Chapter 485

Originally, everyone didn’t hold out hope for this invitation, but unexpectedly, he actually agreed.

The reason was also very simple, it was because Chen Mo was there.

“Is it true, Master?”

Leo looked at Copperfield and asked.

“It’s true. I once wanted to be a songwriter, and I admired those songwriters because they could create their life experiences into songs. While using songs to move the audience, they could also vent themselves. I have always wanted to create a rock song that could be passed down for generations, and in Mo’s songs, I heard such a song.”

Copperfield was very friendly to them.

Especially to Chen Mo, he really spoke like a fan.

Leo and the others all gasped.

They knew long ago that Chen Mo’s fans were distributed in all walks of life, but they didn’t expect that even a world-famous magician would be Chen Mo’s fan.

This was too unbelievable.

“During this time, you can stay in my castle, and I will teach you how to learn magic, but only some introductory things. You know, I can’t teach you the real industry secrets.”

Before starting, Copperfield said to everyone.

Of course, they understood this.

Every magic trick was the hard work of a magician.

It is said that teaching the apprentice starves the master, especially in the magic industry.

Because magic has rarity.

Only on the premise that your magic cannot be copied and others cannot reveal it, will your magic be noticed by the whole world.

Seeing that Chen Mo and the others understood what he meant, Copperfield asked the butler to take them to their rooms.

Starting a two-month teaching.

The next day, the four of them started learning simple magic performances together.

To be honest, before coming here, they hadn’t been exposed to magic performance.

Will even looked at Copperfield.

“So Master, is magic really related to superpowers or magic? Do we need to do anything?”

Will asked quite excitedly.

Not to mention Will, many Europeans and Americans believed that magic was linked to superpowers and magic.

Because magic had too many phenomena that ordinary people couldn’t explain.

Especially since it was still 2009, many recording devices were not high-definition devices, and even watching the replay was hard to see through the flaws.

So the status of magicians in Europe and America was not small.

“You don’t need to do anything, I just need you to train your hand speed.”

Copperfield said.

Hand speed?

This sentence was indeed something Will and the others hadn’t expected at all.

Only Chen Mo understood what it meant.

In the era when all videos were high-definition, many people released magic reveal albums. To put it bluntly, many magicians could do some magical things because their hand speed was too fast.

When the audience’s naked eyes couldn’t see, they used small props or temporarily turned into props.

In short, it all depended on hand speed.

“I have two playing cards here, you try to change the playing card behind to the front.”

Copperfield said.

As he said that, he demonstrated to them how to change cards.

Copperfield first hid a card behind the back of his hand, clamped the card with the gap between his index finger and middle finger, and held the other card normally with his hand.

Then, with a speed that was almost invisible to their naked eyes, he quickly changed the card to the front and overlapped it onto the card in front.

“How is this done?”

Leo rubbed his eyes.

Hathaway and Will were also dumbfounded.

Even though Copperfield had demonstrated how to change cards once and performed in front of them, they still felt it was incredible.

“Can this really be done?”

Hathaway shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling that she couldn’t do it.

“You guys try it first.”

Copperfield gave each of them a playing card.

Will and the others took the playing cards and tried clumsily for a long time without success.

Either they threw the card out, or the movements were very exaggerated.

The movements were too clumsy, and even they themselves couldn’t bear to watch.

“It doesn’t matter, practice slowly. If you can practice until no one can see your flaws within a month, you can basically perform magic.”

Copperfield said.

Hearing Copperfield say that, they were actually a bit discouraged.

Originally, they thought training magic was a relatively simple thing, but they didn’t expect that practicing hand speed would be so complicated.

No wonder Chen Mo asked them to learn magic two months in advance.

If they didn’t understand how to perform magic at all, they really might not be able to play this role well.

“Mo, you try it too. Don’t be afraid of being embarrassed; it won’t be worse than us.”

Hathaway looked at Chen Mo, and seeing that he hadn’t started practicing for a long time, she thought Chen Mo was shy.

Afraid of making a fool of himself while practicing.

“I was thinking if taking a few more cards would have a better effect.”

Chen Mo was originally thinking, and was pulled back to his thoughts after being said so by Hathaway, and picked up a few more cards from the table.

Something that surprised everyone happened.

Chen Mo actually performed the movements as smoothly as Copperfield with ease, and they couldn’t see any flaws at all.

Chen Mo even performed several cards at once.

It had a greater visual impact!

“Mo, you wouldn’t happen to be a genius at learning magic, would you?”

Hathaway looked at Chen Mo excitedly, never expecting that Chen Mo had only performed magic once and actually succeeded.

“As expected of my Master, how come you learn magic so fast too.”

Will also shook his head and sighed.

Leo was even more shocked.

Actually, in Hollywood, there were voices saying that he and Chen Mo were the same type of actors.

Both became famous very early, and both looked very handsome.

It was just that Leo was a few years older than Chen Mo, but he still collided with Chen Mo’s type.

When he first heard this kind of talk, Leo was unconvinced.

He felt that his appearance and acting skills were both online, but he hadn’t even received an Oscar nomination yet, while Chen Mo had already won Best Actor for several consecutive years.

He seemed to have always lived in Chen Mo’s shadow.

Only after seeing Chen Mo this time did Leo realize that he had really thought too much before.

Chen Mo himself was many times more excellent than Leo.

Even this kind of little trick learned for filming could be learned easily.

If there was no Chen Mo to compare with him in this world, maybe he could be even more popular, but with Chen Mo there, he could indeed only be a supporting role for Chen Mo.

“Is it very impressive?”

Chen Mo scratched his head.

He didn’t know if it was impressive or not, he only knew that this was his normal hand speed.

“Very impressive, I can see that you have talent in magic.”

Copperfield said.
