Li Yue, how are you, ready to go on stage?" Backstage, Uncle John suppressed his worries and asked Li Yue.
"Don't worry, Uncle John, the performance will go smoothly, and it will be very exciting, you don't have to worry at all." Li Yue comforted Uncle John, then turned to a young couple standing by and said, "How about it, Barry, Iris, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Li Yue, I have checked the props many times, there is absolutely no problem." Barry said confidently.
"I'm fine too, Mr. Li Yue, I hope you can take care of me when I go on stage." Iris also replied to Li Yue. Iris was someone Li Yue had just met. She was a very beautiful white woman, with blonde hair and blue eyes, exquisite features, and especially a figure that made people's eyes light up. Iris was the assistant to the magician Peter, and she would be Li Yue's partner in the upcoming performance.
Li Yue was a little excited to have such a beautiful woman as his partner, after all, no normal man would dislike a beautiful woman.
Just as they were talking, the program being performed on stage had already ended, and the host had already begun to introduce the next program, which was Li Yue and Iris's magic show. Li Yue had already changed into his performance attire, a black tuxedo, with a black top hat. In addition, ever since Li Yue gained superpowers, his temperament had quietly changed, making him look very comfortable and natural.
"Next, please welcome magician Li Yue, I hope he brings everyone a wonderful performance, let's give him a round of applause." The host on stage had already announced the act. He knew that today's magician had changed, and he didn't know how his performance ability was, so after announcing the act, he took the lead in applauding, creating a lively atmosphere, so that Li Yue wouldn't be too nervous during the performance and cause a mistake.
When Li Yue heard the host call his name, he walked slowly and steadily towards the center of the stage. The audience below the stage was also moved by the host and applauded in welcome. However, when some old audience members saw Li Yue slowly walking onto the stage, they were a little surprised. Wasn't the magician who performed before named Peter? Why had he been replaced this time? Judging by the name, he seemed to be Chinese. They wondered how his magic performance would be.
No matter how surprised the audience below the stage was, Li Yue's pace, though not fast, took him to the center of the stage in just a few seconds. Li Yue first took off his hat with his right hand, with his left hand behind his back, and bowed deeply to the audience.
"Didn't Peter the magician perform before? Why has he been replaced? But this one looks pretty good, giving people a very comfortable feeling, it's just that I don't know how his magic performance is." Some old audience members whispered to their friends next to them when they saw Li Yue.
Seeing that there was some low-level discussion among the audience, but the sound was not loud and would not affect the upcoming performance, Uncle John and others, who had been worried backstage, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the audience did not loudly protest the performance, Li Yue's performance did not need to be excellent, as long as there were no major mistakes, it would pass.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Yue, and I come from China. Some of you should have recognized that I am not Peter, but I hope my performance today will give everyone an unforgettable night. Without further ado, the performance starts now, I hope everyone enjoys it." Li Yue ignored the audience's thoughts, introduced himself first, and then announced the start of the performance, his tone completely devoid of nervousness, which even surprised Li Yue himself, performing in front of hundreds of people for the first time.
Magic shows always start with some small tricks, using small props hidden on the body, such as conjuring a rose or a pigeon. Li Yue was the same; his technique wasn't exceptionally good, not reaching a masterful level, but his unique charisma, coupled with his unhurried performance, made him extremely pleasant to watch. Gradually, the audience's applause grew louder and louder.
Soon, the small magic tricks were all performed.
Next were some larger performances, requiring many more props, and Li Yue's beautiful partner Iris would also come on stage to perform with him.
The audience was already captivated by Li Yue's performance, having long forgotten about the change in magicians, and began to fully focus on Li Yue's performance. Exclamations of surprise occasionally erupted, and successful magic tricks were met with enthusiastic applause and some incredulous sighs interspersed within.
Large-scale magic tricks such as disappearing acts and levitation were performed in an orderly fashion.
Soon, the large-scale magic show had also ended. The staff moved the props backstage. Some old audience members knew that the performance had ended, and although they were still a bit reluctant to leave, they prepared to pack up and exit. However, at this moment, some audience members noticed two large boxes being pushed onto the stage. The boxes were taller than a person, and it looked like they could just fit one person. Many of the audience members who had stood up quickly sat down when they saw more props being brought out, not expecting the performance to be unfinished, and they looked forward to what kind of magic Li Yue would perform next.
Logically speaking, the magic show should have ended. In the past, this program only consisted of these magic tricks, and it would end after they were performed. However, Li Yue still had a magic trick to perform, which he was about to perform next.
"How do you all think my magic performance was?" Li Yue stood in the center of the stage, waiting for the staff to set up the props, and asked the audience.
"Good, it was too good!"
"One more, I haven't seen enough yet!"
The audience below the stage also gave Li Yue a lot of face, with cheers and shouts of approval, and some even said they hadn't seen enough.
"Since everyone likes it, I will perform a new magic trick for you next. This is my first time performing it, and I hope everyone likes it. However, I need a volunteer from the audience. Is there anyone who wants to come on stage, please raise your hand!" As soon as Li Yue finished speaking, most of the audience below raised their hands, shouting that they wanted to come on stage.
Li Yue wasn't too concerned about the volunteer; he didn't need an accomplice for his magic show, so anyone would do. Li Yue's gaze swept over the audience below, wondering who to choose to come up and help, and then he spotted a small boy, who looked to be less than ten years old. His small hand was raised high, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes. Beside him sat a middle-aged couple, one on each side of the small boy, who hadn't raised their hands, but looked at the boy with loving eyes.
Li Yue's eyes lit up as he looked at the little boy, then he jumped off the stage and walked towards them. The audience also paid attention to Li Yue's movements, wondering who he would choose to come on stage.
Li Yue walked directly to the little boy and squatted down in front of him.
"Hello, little friend, what's your name? Would you like to come on stage and perform this magic trick with me?" Li Yue asked softly.
"My name is Peter, Peter Parker." The little boy finished speaking, then turned to look at the middle-aged man, seeking his opinion.
Seeing the middle-aged man nod, the little boy turned back to Li Yue excitedly and said, "I do!"
Li Yue saw that the little boy agreed and his parents didn't object, so he reached out and took the little boy's hand, and at the same time extended his right hand to the middle-aged man, saying, "Hello, my name is Li Yue."
"Hello, Mr. Li Yue, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ben Parker. Your magic performance truly opened my eyes, it was truly wonderful." The middle-aged man shook hands with Li Yue, while praising Li Yue's magic performance.
"Peter Parker, Ben Parker, could it be?"
