When western divine fantasy encounters mysterious Eastern forces, what sparks will be generated? The new series "The Great Magician's Fantasy Show" of National Geographic Channel (Taiwan) not only brings the world's magic to the eyes of Taiwanese audiences, but also introduces outstanding magicians from Taiwan to audiences in 170 countries around the world. The first episode of tonight's premiere was an interview with Taiwanese-born and internationally acclaimed magician Liu Qian, the first time that national geographic channels have interviewed Chinese magicians and broadcast it worldwide. Recently, Liu Qian also specially returned to Taiwan from South Korea to recommend, and performed a wonderful magic trick on the spot, which won a full house! Liu Qian said that he was very happy to be interviewed by the National Geographic Channel, and through such a rare opportunity, let the audience learn more about the story behind the magician, as well as the different time and space and cultural contexts created by each magic trick, and further promote the magic culture to audiences in Taiwan and the world. The Great Magician's Fantasy Show will premiere every Wednesday at 10 p.m. starting November 12.
Liu Qian, who has not appeared in front of the Taiwan media for a long time, borrowed a thousand-yuan bill from the reporter on the spot, and using this ordinary banknote, he continuously performed the banknote volleying technique, as well as the magic of pouring out two live small fish from the rolled up banknotes, which opened the eyes of the reporters and VIPs on the spot. When Liu Qian talked about the difference between Eastern and Western magic, he explained that Western magic originated from stage performances, and there were often various gorgeous and complex devices, while Oriental magic originated from daily life, and all kinds of inconspicuous things around can be used as the best material for magic. Talking about his interaction with DMC in Singapore, he said he was very surprised that DMC, despite his mature appearance, was actually very young, only in his 20s. He felt that in the past, magicians from various countries had exchanged a lot of technology, and now we should pay more attention to cultural exchanges. He said that DMC came from a famous Family in the Uk, so he pays great attention to appearance, and the most they meet and talk about is actually the custom suit in London's Safour Street, because Liu Qian himself is a fan of custom suits. When asked what he thought of some magic cracking programs now, he said that it is normal for non-magicians to want to crack it, because people have curiosity, but if it is a magician who cracks his own magic, he cannot accept it. Because he believes that the profession of magician is to grasp the nerves of people's surprise, just like Santa Claus wants to bring joy to children, Santa Claus will not reveal that he is actually dressed up.
The Great Magician's Fantasy Show uses magic techniques such as hypersensitivity and levitation to take you to explore the fantasy realm of magic. The grand magician's show, magician Jormont Manikoz (DMC), stunned the audience with his superb magic skills on the streets of London, Barcelona, Mexico and Singapore. The magic that DMC performed in the show was inspired by the escape master Houdini, the supersensory master Karzina, and yuriguele, who can bend the spoon with the power of mind; DMC integrated it, and interpreted these classic magic tricks with his own creativity and techniques in front of the audience.
In order to learn classic magic and understand Oriental mythology, martial arts and Asian illusion, DMC traveled to Singapore to visit the famous Chinese magician Liu Qian to understand how Asian magic makes dreams come true. In the episode that premiered tonight, DMC from the UK was particularly curious about the influence of oriental magic on myths and legends, which Liu Qian explained: "Magic effects are almost always inspired by two things, religion and dreams. People dream of flying, making money, and very old religions, for example in India, floating monks can float in the air, we don't know if it really exists, but we know the story, so magicians want to show people, dreams can come true."
On the next magic tour, DMC performed some amazing up-close magic and classic poker tricks in London. On the ancient streets of Barcelona, DMC experimented with modern art, using stage magic for artistic creation. He combines the art of foreknowledge, perspective, and magic after nightfall, performing some incredible magic tricks. In Singapore, he finally chose Marina Bay as the venue for the performance, paying tribute to the magic masters of Asia. He performed the human floating technique in front of everyone, and without the help of any external force, he fought against gravity and floated in the air. The National Geographic Channel will bring more amazing magic to a global audience in a total of 7 episodes of the "Great Magician Magic Show".
