◆ Relevant experience ◆

At the age of seven, he stayed in front of the magic counter in Taipei department store and became fascinated with fantasy magic. So he used his pocket money to buy the first magic prop-"money from the air". Then he ran here as soon as school was over. The shop assistants were annoyed by him and asked, "What are you going to do?" He said, "I want to learn." So the clerk began to teach Liu Qian some tricks, and finally simply pulled him to the counter and made a live advertisement: "Look, children can play and you can learn." At that time, Liu Qian didn't know that magic was changing his life track bit by bit.

Teenagers began to secretly practice the magic of "money falling from the sky" in class. Once during class practice, coins accidentally fell under the platform, and the angry teacher confiscated all the coins in his pocket on the spot. The boy blushed and stood up and said, "Teacher, I want to be a magician!" " "

The little boy's words caused the whole class to laugh. The aggrieved boy went home and told his father, "Dad, my dream is to be a magician, but they laughed at me ..." Before he finished, his frustrated father shouted at him, "You are crazy!" He was scolded by his parents, left out by his classmates and laughed at by his neighbors.

At the age of 12, because he reported to the magic counter every day, he became good friends with Tang Wenlong, the big boy in charge of the magic prop counter. One day, Tang Wenlong encouraged him to take part in a children's magic competition and arranged a program with him. Finally, he stood out and won the grand prize awarded by david copperfield, an international magic master. When the first prize was awarded, the magic master David? Copperfield called his name in very fluent Chinese. The parents opened their mouths in surprise: "It seems that we have to respect the child's dream and help him realize it." Liu Qian said that this champion means a lot to him, because he realized for the first time that hard work would pay off, and he got his idol David? Copperfield's affirmation. If he didn't win this prize, he might not be so persistent in practicing magic in the future. Liu Qian also said with a smile that his mother took his 50,000 yuan (4 yuan NT 1 RMB), "but it has not been returned yet".

Subsequently, he won more than 10 international awards. Some people call this "magical" young man the real Harry Potter. He is the young magic master Liu Qian.

Liu Qian is the only magician in Taiwan Province Province of China who was invited to perform in Las Vegas and Hollywood Magic Castle, and also the magician who won the most international awards in Taiwan Province Province. His performances are all over the world, and he has been invited to be a guest performer at the International Magic Conference for many times. Its avant-garde style and amazing creativity have won the appreciation of colleagues at home and abroad. Taiwan Province Province is the most famous magician among its peers in the world.

His extraordinary international outlook and constant self-enrichment are his uniqueness. In order to enrich the professional field and pattern, he also dabbled in music, stage art, drama, industrial design, television, advertising, photography and other art-related knowledge. It has the title of "magic walking dictionary" in the industry. Currently active in Taiwan Province Province, Japan, Europe and America. He was invited to many international magician conferences around the world as a guest performer and a lecturer in special lectures.

Many people must think that Liu Qian, who loves magic so much, takes it for granted to become a professional magician, but Liu Qian said that this is actually a last resort. In the concept of the older generation, playing magic is a sideline, not a legitimate industry, and may not be able to support themselves. Therefore, Liu Qian's expectation for himself is to become a "handsome office worker", working during the day, playing magic at home, performing when he is happy, and not performing when he is unhappy. However, after graduating from the Japanese Department of Soochow University, Liu Qian encountered a bottleneck when looking for a job. At first, he wanted to enter a well-known Japanese-funded enterprise, but he was rejected in the exam. Then he wanted to be an interpreter, but he was rejected. In the meantime, he also met a fraud group. In desperation, Liu Qian discussed with his family to perform magic to make money. Liu Qian's parents have always been very open-minded, such as never interfering with his magic, but at this time they can't help but worry. His parents asked him if he had any long-term plans, but he said no. He asked him if he was confident, and he said no. Finally, it was decided that Liu Qian would spend half a year trying. Liu Qian said: "I really feel and practice slowly because I like it." Actually, my hands are stupid. Sometimes in order to practice an action, it is not too much to repeat it thousands of times. Liu Qian said that because of his high myopia, he would definitely wear that pair of "Harry?" "Potter's glasses", once I take them off, I will become Liu Qian, an ordinary young man eager to stay away from magic. "In his half-year acting career, Liu Qian said frankly that every time he went to the streets, he didn't know what unexpected things would happen. This psychological pressure is even enough to drive a traditional stage magician crazy. In the past six months, after making a living, Liu Qian participated in some international competitions and won some awards, which was noticed by some foreign brokers.

Half a year later, a TV program just came to your door. This magic program is called "Stars are shining high". What Liu Qian has to do is to take to the streets and do magic for ordinary people. This kind of magic is called "close-up magic" or "close-up magic". The magician's face-to-face and shoulder-to-shoulder performance broke through the distance between the stage and the audience, without the cover of lights and props. It all depends on the magician's real kung fu. In the three years since this program was broadcast, Liu Qian has performed magic tricks for people from all walks of life, whether police, hooligans or farmers, and at the same time has to deal with various reactions. For example, once a performance was given to farmers, but people threw feces at them because they disturbed farmers' farming. But sometimes, he experienced the fun. For example, once their film crew pretended to go to a fruit stand to buy apples, but they cut the apples and got a note from it, which said, "Congratulations on winning the lottery, Sony 17 inch color TV, please ask the store." At that time, the shopkeeper panicked and called the fruit wholesaler to ask what was going on. On another occasion, he teased a shopkeeper with a magician in Guangzhou, saying that toothpaste was edible. What they did was to empty the toothpaste tube and put chocolate sauce on it, but their partner took the wrong prop during the performance and it was still toothpaste, so they swallowed it at once. During these three years, Liu Qian learned to communicate with different people, exercised his ability to deal with various situations on the spot, and also learned how to make magic more attractive, commercialized and popular in TV media. After Liu Qian became famous overnight, many people became interested in magic and found it an interesting industry. But Liu Qian admits that people in this industry are hard to be happy. For example, when people were young, they would find it strange to see cars driving and pictures on TV, but when they grow up, they know everything, and the fun is gone. Ordinary people need magic, in fact, they are eager for miracles. The magician's job is to bring everyone's mood back to the past and make the audience feel fresh about what happened in front of them. But the magician himself is the one who can't feel this happiness the most.

Liu Qian's magic performance in CCTV Spring Festival Evening was very successful, and the audience generally thought that there were two points. The first is to stop relying on old tricks such as rabbits and playing cards, but to perform with small objects around you. Liu Qian said that the magic era of relying on gorgeous props and expensive scenery has slowly passed. Secondly, the audience thinks that Liu Qian is very charming, handsome and humorous. He explained that in the past, everyone thought that magicians wanted Aauto Quicker, but in fact, besides that, they needed all aspects of self-cultivation. "No matter how good your technology is, if everyone hates it at first sight, there will be no room for survival."

Liu Qian said that he was able to get on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala because the program group contacted Liu Qian after watching an interview with Lu Yu by Phoenix TV in August 2008. At that time, the director gave him a time limit of six and a half minutes. As a result, he officially performed for more than two minutes. For the performance of the Spring Festival Evening, Liu Qian thinks it is not perfect. On the Internet, many viewers posted posts pointing out his mistakes. In fact, it is common for magicians to wear gangs. In this respect, Liu Qian is not afraid of medical treatment. As early as last year, when he was interviewed by Lu Yu, he frankly revealed his negligent hand in performance: "I performed three performances in a theater in Nagoya, Japan. I remember that in the last scene of the performance, a bunch of flames came out of my hand and sprayed very high. There was no problem before. Maybe the air in Japan is too humid and things don't burn completely. After spraying that day, I still fell into the raging fire. I had to hold the fire in my hand and it hurt like hell. But I have to be handsome. When I got to the background, it began to freeze, and then the blisters got up. "

Some netizens claimed to have "cracked" Liu Qian's magic, and Liu Qian was quite dissatisfied with this behavior; Liu Qian also said that these "cracks" are incorrect. Liu Qian believes that "trying to crack magic" is a kind of "abnormal appreciation habit" of magic audience, which is "very tired"; He believes that magic audiences should enjoy the magician's performance like watching a movie, instead of studying cracking magic.
