Question

Here is an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician Liu Qian discovered it in front of an audience of millions at CCTV`s Spring Festival Gala. Liu`s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable (时髦的)once again and made him the hottest magician in China.

         As a seasoned (老练的) young magician from Taiwan Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States Japan South Korea and the UK.

         Witnessing (目击)something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people`s love for magic.

         Liu is known for his interaction(互动) with his audiences. He has a special understanding of performing skills.

         “It is actually thinking rather than one`s performing skills that is more important to achieve a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more attractive.” Liu said.

         Liu Qian`s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12 he won Taiwan`s Youth Contest which was judged by the great American magician David Copperfield.

         Yet Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur (业余的) magician in his spare time. However his failure to find a decent (体面的) job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.

         To improve his performing skills he has performed on streets roads and fields for passers-by policemen and farmers.

         “Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough(难对付的) crowds.” Liu said.
