There are three steps to every magic trick: First, use the virtual to bring the reality. The magician showed an ordinary thing, no flaws can be found no matter how inspected it, but in fact there must be a fake in it; The magician will use that ordinary thing to make breathtaking performances. The audience is eager to know the secret but can't find it, but at this time they still have expectations; third, turn the decay into a miracle. It’s not enough to change things, you have to change them back. This is one of the most difficult steps in magic. Everyone is happy with the success. The audience doesn't really want to know the answer, they just want to enjoy the process of being deceived. Wonderful magic requires the magician to make sacrifices, and the audience needs to be able to escape from the cruel reality for even a second.

The little boy who cried and said "He killed the bird" really saw the truth. Finally, a three-second silent tribute to Edison, who was inexplicably backed up.
