I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 695 - 484 - Performance

"Come on, open your palm!"

Xia Liang let go of the audience member’s hand and spoke to her.

Hearing this, the woman bit her lip slightly before opening her palm for everyone to see.

Sure enough, the mischievous coin had reappeared right in the center of her palm.

"Let’s give this lady a round of applause! You can keep the coin as a memento!"

After revealing the result, Xia Liang announced loudly. Immediately, the audience below the stage erupted.

"Holy crap! That’s incredible!"

"Awesome! I was so close, yet I didn’t see a single flaw in his technique!"

"That was absolutely unbelievable!"

"I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! I really didn’t see him get close to her. What an eye-opener!"

"This magic trick gave me goosebumps!"

"Same here! My eyes can’t keep up with his hands at all!"

"..."

CLAP. CLAP.

CLAP. CLAP.

"So cool!"

"His magic is amazing!"

"..."

As Xia Liang took a slight bow, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause and screams.

Xia Liang glanced at his mission. The crowd had grown to over two hundred people, which meant the mission was complete. By all rights, he could leave now.

But Xia Liang was actually getting into it. It really is true that you learn to love what you do.

Since I already have these extraordinary skills, why not use them a bit more to completely blow their minds?

The thought of people trying to expose him, only to fail completely, filled Xia Liang with anticipation.

Just then, shouts rose up from the crowd.

"Encore!"

"One more!"

"Alright, since everyone is asking, it would be rude to refuse! I’ll perform one more magic trick for you all. Make sure you watch closely! If your eyes can’t keep up with my hands, don’t blame me!"

Xia Liang said with a smile, pulling a deck of playing cards from his pocket as he spoke.

He had already prepared this deck in the Magic Workshop on his way to the stage. The efficiency was practically light speed! Making a special deck of cards like this in the real world would take at least half a day.

Xia Liang unwrapped the new deck of cards in front of the audience and continued.

"I have a normal deck of playing cards here. I’m sure you’ve all seen a deck of cards before, right?"

"We have!"

"We’ve seen cards, sure, but who knows if that deck is normal!"

"Exactly! Can we inspect the cards?"

At this, several audience members began to interact with him proactively.

I was going to offer the cards for inspection anyway, but I didn’t expect them to be so eager.

"Of course you can!"

Xia Liang handed the deck to the audience member with the loudest voice, motioning for them to inspect it.

The audience member who took the deck clumsily fanned out the cards and began checking the suits and count. After confirming everything was in order, he passed them to two other curious spectators nearby. Once their thorough inspection was complete, the deck was returned safely to Xia Liang’s hands.

The moment the cards were back in his hands, Xia Liang began a dazzling display of flourish shuffling.

He performed a rapid riffle shuffle, followed by a series of deft, one-handed cuts.

After shuffling the deck, Xia Liang held it in his right palm. Then, with his left thumb, he spread the cards counter-clockwise into an almost perfect 360-degree fan.

The crowd gasped.

In an instant, everyone—except for the magic enthusiasts—who had never seen such elaborate shuffling or a perfect fan that resembled a peacock’s tail couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

"That technique, that speed... how can one person be so cool?"

"He’s shuffling so fast! It’s dizzying to watch!"

"Why are the cards so obedient in his hands, but have a mind of their own when I hold them?"

"So awesome! That final peacock fan was absolutely insane!"

"Dude! You’re a legend!"

"Awesome!"

Xia Liang held the peacock fan of cards high in the air, showing it to the entire audience as voices of praise rose from the crowd.

A roguish smile touched Xia Liang’s lips as he shook his head slightly.

"That was just the warm-up. The real magic begins now!"

"Everyone, watch closely! And now, it’s time to witness a miracle!"

As he finished speaking, the fan of cards in his right hand snapped shut. He then swiftly split the deck into two halves, one for each hand.

He began another flourish shuffle...

But halfway through the shuffle, a single card suddenly shot out of the cascade and into the air. Xia Liang opened his mouth, and the card landed perfectly between his lips.

Its back was facing the audience, so no one could see its suit or value.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

As Xia Liang continued his dizzying shuffle, three more cards flew out in succession. Like the first, all three landed securely in his mouth.

At this point, the magic performance was halfway done. The remaining half is all about audience interaction!

Xia Liang took the four cards from his mouth. Holding them with their backs to the audience, he smiled and casually addressed the crowd.
