Weibo account "Billion Dots Are Different" focuses on high-speed photography videos, and in September, he specially took professional equipment to interview Liu Qian and crack some of the tricks used by magicians. Liu Qian showed the poker magic in front of the camera, holding a plum blossom 8 poker card in his right hand, and then with a flick of his left hand, the card face was instantly changed to Red Heart 3, which made the staff present exclaim in surprise!

Tim then took out the picture taken by the high-speed camera and replayed it, slowed down 40 times to see Liu Qian's hand close-up, only to see that he did not move other hands and feet, purely in a moment, cleverly and quickly moved his fingers, changing the cards hidden in the back to the front. Tim joked, "Is that all?" You just folded it on the back and replaced it with it?" Liu Qian laughed back: "What is called just this, it is difficult!"

It is reported that the general TV output is 24 frames per second, and the camera used by Tim's team to shoot Liu Qian's magic can reach 1000 frames per second, which clearly captures his card change process. Many netizens were surprised by "I look stupid, how can his hand be so fast", "Is that hand speed really what humans can do", "Is it more scary after slowing down", and sighed that even if the really powerful magician is cracked, it is still a level that ordinary people can't imitate.
