This unexpected scene, regardless of whether Yu Ze is a clown or playing mind games, has definitely sparked controversy and gained attention. The production team immediately became excited and instructed the cameras to focus on Yu Ze's face, hoping to capture his nervous expression.
Unfortunately, Yu Ze not only remained calm, but also wore a playful and mischievous smile on his face. "Mischievous smile" is usually used in a negative sense and doesn't necessarily evoke pleasant or friendly feelings when applied to anyone.
However, this young man, although not stunningly handsome, possesses a certain charm that is pleasing to the eye. Despite his seemingly superficial mischievous smile, there is a genuine sincerity that doesn't repel others.
The contestants backstage stared in astonishment at the screen, especially Cai Yun, who couldn't help but feel embarrassed by Yu Ze's boldness in exposing the tricks.
It should be noted that in the world of magic performances, there is an unspoken agreement not to deliberately expose the secrets, even if one sees through them.
But if you claim to have superpowers, then you must be prepared to face questioning and exposure from anyone. Many magic acts appear unimaginable, but if someone watches the magician's performance attentively, it becomes easy to uncover the secrets.
"The teachers' skepticism is normal, but I will prove to everyone with practical actions that I truly have extraordinary abilities."
Yu Ze took out his prop, a deck of cards, coincidentally enough since the previous magician also performed a card trick.
He picked a card, a joker, and said with a smile, "Which one of the teachers is willing to come on stage and assist me, personally experiencing this extraordinary ability?"
"I'll do it."
Shen Zhan willingly went on stage.
"Hello, Teacher Shen. I've always enjoyed your works. Your acting skills are superb..."
Yu Ze flattered.
"Oh, which one of my works do you like the most?"
Shen Zhan also joked.
"I especially love your 'Run, Donkey!' performance. It was incredibly exquisite..."
Yu Ze exclaimed in admiration.
"'Run, Donkey!'?"
Shen Zhan's smile froze for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears. Wasn't he just a cameo in that production, appearing for less than five seconds? Out of all his lead roles, you didn't like any, but instead liked a cameo role that lasted less than five seconds?
"Hahaha..."
The other mentors on the judging panel burst into laughter, and even the audience below the stage joined in the laughter.
"Alright, how can I assist you?"
Shen Zhan wasn't angry about this joke, just curious.
"Teacher Shen, could you please check if there is anything wrong with this card?"
"Well, it's just a regular card, no issues. It's not a gimmick card."
Shen Zhan took the joker card and carefully examined it, pinched it, and confirmed.
"Alright, now I'm going to place this card into the pocket of your jacket..."
While all the cameras were filming closely, Yu Ze inserted the joker card into Shen Zhan's suit jacket pocket and then pulled it out again.
"What is this..."
"Teacher Shen, please feel your pocket and confirm that there is no longer a card inside, right?"
"Yes, there isn't."
Shen Zhan reached into his jacket pocket, and indeed there was no card. He nodded in agreement.
"Very well, you may go now."
"This is it?"
"Yes, this is it."
Shen Tao returned to his seat somewhat puzzled.
"Look, just now I placed this Joker card into Mr. Shen's breast pocket, and then took it out again."
Yu Ze displayed the Joker card in his hand for the camera to focus closely on. "Mr. Shen, please feel your breast pocket, do you have the card inside?"
"No, I don't," affirmed Shen Tao.
"Now, the moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived. Everyone, keep your eyes open, no, keep them closed, watch closely, my psychic ability is about to come into play."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Ze stared intently at the Joker card held between his index and middle fingers. Not only the four mentors, but also the audience participating in the show recording, dared not even breathe, fixating on every move on the stage.
"Snap!"
Yu Ze shouted, and in an instant, the Joker card held between his fingers vanished without a trace.
There were no signs, no premonitions, no hand movements, the card between his fingers really disappeared without a trace.
"Wow…"
The four mentors were astonished, but to be fair, Cai Yun's card magic just now also made the card disappear instantly, with no discernible flaws.
"Yu Ze, did you make the card disappear? Is that your psychic ability? From what I see, it looks more like magic," Shen Tao asked with a grin.
"Mr. Shen, feel your breast pocket, the disappeared Joker card should be inside," Yu Ze said, with a gesture of invitation.
"Huh?" Shen Tao raised an eyebrow and, as the camera focused on him, wore an expression of disbelief, then indeed pulled out a Joker card.
"Wow!" Yang Mier, who had remained silent, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Shen Tao, do you know this young man? When did he become a plant?" Jin Xing joked.
"I don't know him," Shen Tao quickly shook his head. "I don't know him, and he's not a plant. This is really strange."
He felt very perplexed, as he had just checked carefully and confirmed that the breast pocket was empty.
But those around him didn't believe it and thought he was a plant.
"Ms. Jin, do you think Mr. Shen is a plant? I don't know Mr. Shen," Yu Ze protested. "This is my psychic ability. If Ms. Jin doesn't believe it, would you like to try it too?"
Jin Xing smiled and said, "How should I try it?"
"Please come up to the stage."
Jin Xing did not refuse and walked onto the stage directly.
"Ma'am, can you please take off your ladies' watch?"
"Huh?" Jin Xing was taken aback but still readily took off her ladies' watch and handed it to Yu Ze.
"Ms. Jin, this is a Patek Philippe ladies' watch, worth at least fifty thousand, right?" Yu Ze glanced at the watch.
Jin Xing smiled and said simply, "This was given to me by my husband."
On any stage, talking about a celebrity's luxury items is actually very taboo, even though everyone knows that the watch worn by a celebrity is likely to cost tens of thousands or even millions.
"Okay, then Ms. Jin must be very familiar with this watch and wouldn't mistaken it, right?"
"Of course."
"Ms. Jin, take this empty box."
Yu Ze picked up the paper box from the ground, opened it, and handed it to Jin Xing. In front of the camera, everyone could see that there was nothing inside the empty box.
"Ms. Jin, take this empty box back, and when you open it, your watch will be inside," Yu Ze instructed Jin Xing to go back.
Jin Xing felt amazed. Although she had anticipated it, magicians generally did not disclose their magical intentions so directly.
She once again opened the empty box, looked at the Patek Philippe ladies' watch in Yu Ze's hand, closed the box, nodded, and went back to her seat. Everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Jin Xing, but Cai Yun backstage was cursing in secret. At this moment, the camera should be on Yu Ze, to see what kind of sleight of hand he was using.
