On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the high-profile magician Liu Qian appeared again, which was amazing. At the performance site, the audience's hearts were tightly grasped, and they saw the magic of the four playing cards in Liu Qian's hand.
Liu Qian smiled and began his wonderful performance.
"Dear viewers and friends, today I will bring you a brand new poker magic." Liu Qian said confidently, "This time we will use four randomly selected playing cards. "
He showed the cards in his hand to everyone to make sure they could see clearly, and then scrambled them face up on the table.
Then, Liu Qian made a surprising move - he actually tore each card from the middle and made it into eight and a half cards. The audience's eyes widened in surprise as they speculated about what would happen next.
Many viewers tried to crack this step with great interest according to the instructions, some smiled in surprise after successfully cracking it, and some were confused, frowning and trying to think.
But whatever the outcome, the process of engagement is exciting.
After a series of seemingly simple but magical operations by Liu Qian, he announced that the magic was about to be completed. "Now, let's witness the moment of miracle together," he said with anticipation. "After the last move, a miracle really happened - the four original cards appeared on the table undamaged!
The scene suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, and the audience was amazed. Even for those who participated in the whole process, it is difficult to find flaws in looking back on the whole performance. One viewer excitedly said, "It's amazing! I was involved in the whole process, but I couldn't figure out how to do it! "
This magic trick intuitively seems complex but ingenious, and Liu Qian's skill alone is enough to breathtaking, not to mention his meticulous polishing of every detail.
As one magic enthusiast put it, "Liu Qian's every movement is well thought out, and the whole performance process is interlocking, which truly reflects the ingenuity of magic."
Liu Qian's magic performance shocked the audience and attracted the attention of the academic community. Hidden behind the seemingly simple magic of playing cards is the esoteric math. Recently, a student from the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University revealed the secret, giving us a glimpse into the wisdom of magicians.
The student pointed out that Liu Qian skillfully used advanced mathematics such as permutation groups and cyclic properties when designing this magic trick.
Liu Qian emphasized the design of the initial arrangement, and the way he arranged the cards when he initially hid them, ensured that any subsequent shuffling operation could not change the relationship between the top and bottom positions. This is the concept of a permutation group."
The student enthuses to say that the most magical part of the magic – the "moment of witnessing the miracle" – actually takes advantage of the cyclic nature of finite displacement groups. After a seemingly random action, it is possible to make the sequence of decks displayed in the hand still contain information about the original hidden cards.
Therefore, no matter how the audience operates, the final result will be consistent with Liu Qian's preset.
He further explained: "The four cards A, B, C, and D prepared by Liu Qian were initially arranged in ABCDBACD after being torn into eight pieces. This arrangement may seem arbitrary, but it is actually carefully designed to ensure the controllability of subsequent operations.
"This combination of sophisticated algorithms and simple operation is what makes this magic so appealing." The student exclaimed, "Liu Qian is not only an excellent magician, but also an artist who has mastered the essence of mathematics, and his ability to translate profound mathematical principles into simple magic movements is truly amazing."
The close connection between magic and mathematics has led to a whole new understanding of magic. One viewer who watched the video said: "It turns out that magic is not only a trick, but also contains profound mathematical principles, which gives me a new understanding and respect for magic."
Behind this magic trick is actually the embodiment of Liu Qian's deep understanding and creative application of mathematics, which translates complex mathematical concepts into simple operations.
The creation of a magical and scientific performance really did what the Fudan student said: "This magic not only entertained the audience, but also showed us the charm and practical application of mathematics, which was really eye-opening."
Liu Qian's magic show caused the public to debate non-stop, and brought various revealing videos into the world of the Internet in one fell swoop. Among them, the analysis of two students from Fudan University and Tsinghua University attracted special attention, and they each applied what they learned to show different ways of thinking.
First up was a boy from the mathematics department at Fudan University, who used an extremely concise handwriting style to elaborate on the details of each step of Liu Qian's operation. His analysis is clear and clear, as if he is solving a mathematical problem, showing the rigor and elegance of mathematical thinking.
At the same time, a computer science student at Tsinghua University adopted the "problem-solving" method. He first abstracted each step of the magic trick into a mathematical model, and then used prior knowledge such as the properties of permutation groups to derive the mathematical expression for each step step by step.
Compared to this Tsinghua student's approach, it is more theoretical. We can describe the entire magic process as a series of mathematical operations, and by building models, we are able to accurately predict the outcome of each step, he said.
Although his analysis process is difficult to understand, the logical derivation and final results are highly consistent with the actual performance, and are considered to be the most scientifically reliable analytical method.
The two analytical approaches at Fudan University and Tsinghua University respectively demonstrate the unique way of thinking of students at two top universities. Fudan University's analytical method is concise and clear, which is suitable for the public to understand. Tsinghua University's analytical approach, on the other hand, is more theoretical, revealing deep mathematical principles.
A netizen who watched the two analyses commented: "It's really eye-opening! The analysis of the Fudan students allowed me to understand the operation process of the magic trick, while the analysis of the Tsinghua students revealed the mathematical principles behind it.
These two approaches complement each other and allow us to understand this wonderful magic trick from different angles."
The subtle analysis of the two students not only revealed the mystery of magic, but also proved that rational thinking has an important position and role in revealing magic. Their analysis gives us a deeper understanding of magic.
Under the wonderful analysis of the two students of Fudan and Tsinghua University, Liu Qian's magic veil was lifted one by one. Let's follow their train of thought and dissect this jaw-dropping magic process step by step.
First of all, Liu Qian prepared four cards, let's call them A, B, C, D. In front of the audience, he tore each card in half from the middle, so that he got a total of eight half-slices, a seemingly simple action that was actually the basis of the whole magic trick.
Next, arrange the eight cards in the order of ABCDBACD, which is the initial position. Fudan students explained that this initial arrangement seemed random, but it was actually carefully designed to lay the foundation for subsequent operations.
Liu Qian moved the top three cards to the bottom, disrupting the order, and this move was done according to the word "Qian" in his name "Liu Qian". He then invited the audience to do the same based on their names.
Tsinghua students pointed out that although this step seems to increase randomness, it is actually within the controllable range and is a state of "chaos".
Next, Liu Qian made a key move: he picked up the top three cards and inserted them anywhere in the middle.
The Fudan student explained: "This action ensures that the top and bottom cards can be consistent in all situations, i.e. no matter how the cards are rearranged later."
Subsequently, Liu Qian cleverly removed and hid the top card, and the rest of the cards continued to be reshuffled. The Tsinghua student analyzed: "This hidden card has become the 'anchor' of the whole magic trick and determines the final result.
The last key step is to manipulate according to the gender of the audience: Liu Qian proposed: "The boy loses the top card, and the girl loses the top two cards. Then, a series of actions are performed in turn, leaving the lucky cards and discarding the bad ones.
The Fudan student explained: "Although these operations may seem arbitrary, they were actually carefully planned and controlled by Liu Qian."
Tsinghua students describe the entire magic process as a mathematical model. Using the properties of permutation groups, he derives mathematical expressions for each step, and finally shows the entire magic process with formulas.
"Every step can be described mathematically and precisely," the student said, "which is why no matter what cards the audience chooses, the final result is expected by Liu Qian."
This layer-by-layer analysis reveals the mysteries of magic, but also shows the important role of mathematics in the design of magic. As a student at Fudan University put it, "The magic of magic is not only in the visuals, but also in the subtle mathematics behind it."
Liu Qian successfully transformed complex mathematical concepts into simple operations, creating this magic show that is both magical and scientific."
Through such a detailed analysis, we not only deeply understand the principle of magic, but also admire Liu Qian's talent and creativity. Magic is no longer a simple trick, but a perfect combination of science and art.
Although the mystery of magic was revealed, this did not diminish Liu Qian's talent and charisma. On the contrary, after understanding the principle behind it, people's admiration for him deepened.
Liu Qian is not only proficient in advanced mathematics, but also able to transform these abstract concepts into a visual feast. Every detail has been thought out in depth, from the choice of four cards to each tear and rearrangement, showing his deep understanding and flexible application of mathematical principles.
One viewer exclaimed, "Liu Qian is not just a magician, but more like an artist. His ability to translate complex mathematical principles into breathtaking performances is truly admirable.
Liu Qian's performance flow is vividly organized, and he is able to skillfully guide the audience to achieve the desired result without realizing it. During the performance, he invites the audience to participate in the rearrangement of the cards according to the name of each audience.
This interaction not only adds to the fun, but also cleverly hides the core principle of the magic.
What's even more amazing is that Liu Qian was able to execute this magic trick that relies on precise calculations in a live performance, which requires not only a deep theoretical foundation, but also a lot of connection and impromptu composure.
A magic enthusiast commented: "Being able to perform such a sophisticated magic trick on the spot, Liu Qian's performance and field control ability are indeed first-class."
Liu Qian's performance not only shows his superb skills, but also reflects his unremitting pursuit of art. Every action he carefully choreographed is designed to surprise and delight the audience.
This ability to perfectly combine science and art is what makes Liu Qian a top magician.
As the audience commented: "Liu Qian's magic trick allows us to see the charm of mathematics. He has an extraordinary ability to turn seemingly complicated mathematical principles into entertaining performances, which is amazing! "
Liu Qian's success is no accident. Through this wonderful magic show, we were able to get a glimpse of the many factors behind the success.
The first is long-term training and relentless hard work, which is the key to translating complex mathematical principles into smooth performances. This requires the magician to face countless times of practice and improvement, as one magic enthusiast said, "one minute on stage, ten years off the stage", Liu Qian's every action shows his hard work.
The skill requires a high level of concentration and advanced math knowledge, and the magician needs to have a deep mathematical background to seamlessly integrate concepts such as displacement groups and cyclic properties into simple card skills, which is not an overnight effort.
Secondly, Liu Qian's acting power and emotional intelligence are excellent. On the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he needs to not only execute the magic steps perfectly, but also interact with the audience and mobilize the atmosphere of the scene. He invites the audience to participate in magic tricks and manipulate the cards according to their names, which not only adds to the fun, but also demonstrates his communication skills with the audience.
Liu Qian's amiable attitude and humorous expression make the audience feel relaxed and happy, and it is easier to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of magic. An audience member recalled: "Liu Qian's performance was very infectious, and every smile and movement of his people made people have the urge to follow his rhythm.
In short, Liu Qian's success is inseparable from his personality charm. His humble attitude, persistent pursuit of art, and his original intention to bring joy to people have won the love and respect of the audience.
As one viewer said: "Liu Qian's magic not only allows us to see miracles, but also makes us feel the power of hard work and perseverance, and his success is not only because of his skills, but also because of his love and dedication to magic."
