Chapter Index

    Grumbling~

    “Ohhh!”

    He turned the back of his hand towards the audience and spouted fire from his palm. From their perspective, it will look like they are holding a fireball.

    There are a few things I have learned while imitating magic with my inventory. One of them is that when performing magic, the viewing angle of the audience is very important. From the audience’s perspective, I was standing with my back to the wall, so no one could see exactly what was going on in my palm.

    ‘Well, even if you show your palm, most people will think there’s some kind of device or chemical applied to it.’

    There’s no need to elevate a scene that already looks amazing enough to the level of being creepy.

    The magician who was performing moved his hands in accordance with the music that had been played earlier.

    He threw the fire he had lit in his left hand and pretended to catch it with his right hand, moving the fire and lighting it.

    He pretended to throw the fire into the air and extinguished it, and used his gaze as if he was chasing an invisible fireball. Then, by catching the falling fire and lighting fire again in the palm of your hand, you could create the illusion of juggling with fire.

    “Wow!”

    People were amazed, moving their eyes from side to side as the action of lighting and extinguishing fire was repeated with both hands.

    I briefly turned off the lights, approached the magician who had selected me as an audience member, and borrowed a wand.

    I will write “ and give it back to you.”

    “Oh… ! Yes!”

    Although he was embarrassed while performing a street magic trick, he obediently handed me his magic wand, as if he didn’t want to stop my magic in the middle. Rather, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he thought that a great magician with a hidden identity had appeared in front of him.

    Hold both ends of the magic wand and hold it vertically.

    Then, it instantly created fire to obscure the appearance of the staff and at the same time replaced it with a white cloth kept in the inventory.

    Grumbling~

    “!”

    As the flame-engulfed staff turns into a fluttering cloth, people’s eyes widen and their mouths open slightly.

    Compared to the martial arts and other abilities I had, magic was an insignificant talent, but it was also the best thing to elicit a purely joyful response from people.

    He unfolded the cloth, confirmed that it was an ordinary object without any special equipment, and threw it into the air.

    Cloth spread wide, fluttering and falling.

    The moment the cloth fell on my open palm, I clenched my fist, creating a fire that engulfed the cloth.

    The cloth never turned to ash. After my ability to control my abilities increased, I was able to not burn things at my will unless I had to use a lot of power.

    After returning the cloth to my inventory, what remained in my hands was pure fire.

    Clap clap clap!

    “Wow!”

    As people applauded, he put his other hand into the fire and pulled out a magic wand. The magic wand was on fire, but like the cloth, it was not really burning.

    Swish! Whirling!

    I casually put the lit wand between my fingers and twirled it. People’s eyes followed the burning wand.

    “Gulp… ”

    I could hear the people watching in the front row swallowing their saliva at the spectacular movement.

    It looks like he’s worried that he might lose his wand and sparks will fly.

    ‘Such anxiety is also part of the performance.’

    In particular, fire magic, escape magic, and cutting magic were types of magic that intentionally induced tension in the audience.

    My fireworks are completely under my control, so there is no chance of sparks flying into the audience. Even if it pops, there won’t be any problem.

    Whirring! chuck!

    I stopped spinning the wand and raised my index and middle fingers to look at the wand.

    The flames on the staff moved to the index and middle fingers.

    I took a deep breath, brought the lit finger in front of my mouth, and blew strongly into the air.

    Hwaaa!

    “Aaagh!”

    “Wow!”

    The fire on my finger soared toward the sky like a cloud. A scene like a fire show seen at a circus.

    I could hear the screams and exclamations of startled people.

    I turned off the fire on my fingers and opened my arms. And as the music ended, I bowed deeply.

    Clap clap clap clap!

    “Awesome!!”

    “It was a great performance!”

    “It’s a performance worth paying money to see!”

    “Please show me more!”

    Whi profit!

    The surroundings were filled with applause and whistles.

    First, the man who was performing street magic went completely into spectator mode at some point and was clapping his hands and making exclamations while blending in with the crowd.

    Jalrang! Jalrang!

    Coins and bills of various denominations poured into the box he had prepared. The box was almost full after one performance. A fairly large amount of money was raised, but I decided to leave it as is since I was using someone who was performing with legitimate permission to perform.

    I handed him the wand again, with no trace of it having been lit.

    “here. Well written.”

    “, it’s an honor. By any chance, what is your name? Judging from his skills, he clearly seems to be a famous magician… ”

    “I’m just a magician passing by.”

    He took the magic wand I gave him back and held it as if it were an autograph paper he had received from a star.

    -Hey

    -I’m going to pee at night because I’m playing with fire.

    -I’m tired…

    -No, you haven’t shown any magic tricks lately. Are you preparing for something like this?

    -It’s more boring than a performance I actually paid money for. haha.

    -I came from the Ministry of Magic blah blah blah…

    -???: This is magic, you barbaric muggles.

    -End of controversy over face method vs. illegal method! Illegal win!

    [Jumo Gukbap donated 100,000 won!]

    -Hey, this is K-Magic! Nothing special about Hollywood!

    [Henryport donated 200,000 won!]

    -You’re performing magic, right! I was fooled when I said no!

    The response from viewers was also good.

    “It was not officially approved, but it was shortened by inserting into an already existing position. I’ll show you something even more interesting later.”

    -Anything more interesting?

    -Aren’t you going to do something like a real escape magic later?

    -I want to see piranhas escape from the tank haha.

    -Looking at the host’s skills, I think he could compete as a professional magician.

    -He’s better than most of the magicians on YouTube.

    Just as I was trying to quietly kill the presence of people and slip through the crowd. Someone called me out.

    “Hello. Mr. Lee. No, should I call you Minho? I think that’s the name they use in streaming.”

    “… ? Do you know me?”

    ‘Who is it? This is someone I feel like I’ve seen before somewhere. Are you my audience?’

    I tilted my head to see the person who called my name.

    Since he was called Minho, there was a possibility that he was a foreign viewer watching my stream. Foreign viewers usually called me by names like Minho and Mino.

    ‘But did I know any foreign viewers?’

    Because their faces were covered, they could not be clearly distinguished. The energy I felt wasn’t anything special.

    The answer was found through Maria.

    -Master! It’s Jackson Reed! The actor who played the main character of Steel Heart!

    After hearing Maria’s words, I remembered.

    The man who sat next to Carl Rogers at Comic Con at the time. It was the same actor who played the role of the hero Steelheart.

    It was not easy to recognize him because his face was covered with a mask, hat, and sunglasses. They said he was covering his face like he had committed some kind of crime, and it was an outfit that would be understandable for a Hollywood actor.

    “I have a situation… I think I need to get out of the way first. Are you okay?”

    “Good. Please guide me. Mr. Reed.”

    If it had been an unidentified person, he would have disappeared without even pretending to hear, but now he is a fellow actor who will have to film with me from now on.

    When I nodded willingly and said his name, he paused for a moment and then began to squeeze through the crowd. He seemed to have a lot of experience with this and was able to avoid the crowds skillfully.

    He took me to his car, which was parked on the side of the road. There was a person who appeared to be his manager who was waiting impatiently next to the car, and he looked surprised when he saw my face, as if he knew about me.

    I asked him before getting into the car.

    “Mr. Reed? I’m streaming right now… First of all, we are doing mosaic processing, but I am not sure if it will be okay to broadcast.”

    “It’s okay. Because I saw good magic. I think of it as a surprise guest appearance.”

    I don’t know what he was thinking, but he seemed to be quite friendly towards me.

    “Can I say hello to the camera?”

    He pointed to the drone camera hovering next to me. Then he removed the objects that were covering his face, brought his face to the camera, and spoke.

    “Hello. This is Jackson Reed.”
