Did you watch the magic shows played by Liu Qian from Taiwan in the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival Gala(春晚)? They attracted great attention and wide interests of the audience. During the gala, Liu managed to drop a coin into a glass which was placed upside down and transferred a finger ring into an egg. The two magic shows were so successful that everyone is now mad about him and all want to know how to play magic tricks. “I saw the surprise on everyone’s face. It was
cool,” Liu said.
However, you may not believe that Liu didn’t go to any magic school. He just learned by himself. When Liu was seven, he saw a coin trick in a big store. At that moment Liu decided to learn magic. He worked hard at it. He practiced hard to improve his skills. Then one day he was able to put on a show for his class.
After years of hard work, now Liu is a great magician. But he isn’t satisfied with what he has got and keep on trying every day. He may spend three years
working out a new show.
