Ding Yang is performing the magic trick "Changing Pigeons".
In the recently concluded Shanghai International Magic Festival Masters, a Chinese girl with yellow skin and black hair impressed, she was the only Chinese invited to participate, and her magic trick "Change Pigeon" won the silver medal and won a round of applause. Her name is Ding Yang, 27 years old, a native of Wuqiao, Cangzhou, and the deputy head of the Magic Troupe in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. Exposed to magic for more than 7 years, she has made a name for herself in domestic and foreign magic competitions with her innovative magic trick "Change Pigeon", and has won the title of "White Pigeon Girl".
An accident abandoned acrobatics to practice magic
"I grew up practicing acrobatics, and because of an accident during training, I had to say goodbye to the acrobatic stage." Ding Yang looks very quiet, with short hair in his ears, light makeup, and smiles when he speaks. Talking about magic, she first talked about her acrobatic career.
Because she was born in Wuqiao, the hometown of acrobatics, she has been practicing acrobatics since she was a child, and the dream in her heart is also to show her style on the acrobatic stage. In 2005, the Nantong Youth Acrobatic Troupe of Jiangsu Province came to Wuqiao to select acrobatic trainees, when Ding Yang was performing in Beijing, when he heard the news, he immediately rushed back to the interview, when the enrollment was full, but because Ding Yang's appearance, physical form, basic skills and other aspects of the conditions were good, he was admitted out of the box. With his own dreams and the expectations of his hometown people, Ding Yang came to Nantong and trained hard.
However, the weather is unpredictable. In 2006, during the rehearsal of "Row Chair", the cascading chair suddenly fell from a high altitude, just hitting Ding Yang, causing her waist bone to be seriously contused. "When the doctor told me I couldn't perform acrobatics in the future, I burst into tears." Ding Yang recalled that the dream that supported his years of hard training fell apart because of an accident.
After recuperating at home for a year, tuanli decided to send Ding Yang to Lianyungang to worship the famous magician Wang Qi. Since then, Ding Yang has embarked on the road of magic.
Several efforts "Change the Dove" changes its face many times
In May 2008, Ding Yang began to be exposed to the magic "Changing Pigeons", after a week of teaching by the teacher, she began to practice alone, and two months later, she returned to the Nantong Youth Acrobatic Troupe. "If magic is to go far, you have to innovate." Zhou Wangdong, head of the Nantong Juvenile Acrobatic Troupe, once told her.
Ding Yang said that the teacher taught the pigeon change, and then she has been studying around this aspect, connecting every detail in life with the pigeon, from the pace of walking to the melody of the music she hears, she will come up with ideas and try to apply it to the program of the pigeon change. In order to innovate, Ding Yang is pondering and practicing every day, in addition to practicing body shape techniques, she also makes her own magic suit, carefully designs and produces "organs" in it, in order to achieve the expected effect of her own conception, she will constantly change the costume and change the process until she is satisfied.
Changing pigeons is a very old-fashioned magic trick, but Dante Yang makes it new. In the past, magicians used to conjure up pigeons one by one, but she conjured them up together. Moreover, Ding Yang is also the person with the largest number of pigeons among the world's magicians at present - 18, which surprises many tall male magicians.
In 2011, she won the gold medal of the 2nd International Magic Festival of Hangzhou West Lake and the 7th International Magic Festival of Shanghai within one month, and in 2015, she won the gold medal of the 6th Magic Conference of the 9th Jinju Award and the silver medal of the 9th Shanghai International Magic Festival Masters Competition...
I long-cherished wish to return to my hometown of Wuqiao to perform
Ding Yang is active on the magic stage at home and abroad and has many unforgettable experiences. When preparing for the Golden JuJu Award competition, his son was only more than five months old, and in those days, Ding Yang was training while feeding, and he was very tired every day, but he felt extremely happy.
Once I went to the United States to perform, because the pigeons could not be taken abroad, and other magicians borrowed, I could not borrow so many, and finally bought 22. For the first half of the race, she locked herself in the house every day to catch pigeons for two hours, without rest, and the back of her hands was scarred by the scratches of the pigeons. Kung Fu pays off, and Ding Yang's performance is very successful. Many foreigners gave her a thumbs up and praised her: "Worthy of being a 'white pigeon girl'!" ”
Ding Yang said that to practice the magic of "Changing Pigeons", you must first become friends with pigeons. She gave each pigeon a name and "communicated" with them after training.
Today, Ding Yang is the deputy head of the Nantong Magic Troupe. After work, she often returns to her hometown of Wuqiao to visit her parents and see the changes in her hometown. She said that she had a wish to go back to her hometown and perform a magic trick for her father and fellow villagers, which was the stage she most wanted to take.
