There are two important foundations for performing magic: props and techniques. Relatively speaking, close-up magic relies on more techniques. Xiao Yao is interested in magic, especially in close range magic. The most important thing is that he is interested in magic techniques.
Xiao Yao also liked magic in his previous life, especially close-up magic. At that time, his main purpose was to show off in front of girls and attract them. In this life, Xiao Yao doesn''t need to rely on magic to attract girls. He just wants to learn more skills and exercise the flexibility of his fingers by the way.
Xiao Yao can play many musical instruments, such as guitars, piano keyboards, hand discs, and even pottery, flute, and saxophone. He needs his fingers to be flexible. Xiao Yao can''t go everywhere with musical instruments, and can''t often practice musical instruments. Sometimes he will practice some magic techniques to exercise and maintain the flexibility of his fingers.
At present, there are many magic tricks of Xiao Yaohui, but there are not many magic tricks. Xiao Yao didn''t find a professional magician to learn from, but he would like to learn if he had a chance to meet him. After all, the more magic tricks you can use, the more you can play in practice, the less boring it will be.
Xiao Yao saw a magic show on the streets of Las Vegas. He thought about the principles, tricks and techniques of magic, trying to crack the secret and turn it into his own.
Xiao Yao has a good brain and good observation. However, the most outstanding performance of Xiao Yao''s brain is in memory and mental arithmetic, and no matter how good his observation is, some of his ways are not obvious. There are some magic techniques that Xiao Yao has come into contact with. If he can figure out the principles of them, Xiao Yao can''t understand them.
For those who can''t see the magic, Xiao Yao will stand by and watch until the magician''s performance is over and there is no one nearby. At this time, Xiao Yao will go to discuss with the magician, and pay the other party to tell him the secret of the magic.
Xiao Yao knows that magicians generally don''t disclose their magic secrets to others, not to mention strangers they don''t know at all.
But Xiao Yao doesn''t care about being rejected. He doesn''t depend on it to eat. He is just interested in it. Now he has more leisure. Anyway, he just has a try. If he can''t, he can''t. Xiao Yao doesn''t study for nothing. He takes money for tutoring. The income of street artists is limited. What if someone agrees to make money? Xiao Yao''s road is the main road for many tourists. The public security is good, and he is not afraid of money.
Maybe Xiao Yao''s dress and behavior are not like a magician, not like a colleague grabbing jobs, or maybe the stack of banknotes Xiao Yao pulled out has a great impact on street artists. You know, Xiao Yao won money in the casino in the morning, and when he changed chips, the remaining thousands of dollars were all put on his body in cash. At this time, he took out a stack of banknotes casually. In addition, Xiao Yao''s requirements are not high. He doesn''t need to teach or hold a meeting. He just needs to explain the tricks and show them on the spot. As a result, a magician who really saw money agreed with Xiao Yao and taught him to take the money and leave.
Xiao Yao''s memory is not to be said, but is remembered by his tutor. Standing on the street is not good practice, Xiao Yao is not busy practicing, remember to continue to wander along the street, looking for the next goal.
So I went out for an afternoon. Until dinner time, Xiao yaocai casually found a more distinctive restaurant to have dinner.
In the evening, Xiao Yao''s activities are different. Although Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps, many streets are also brightly lit at night, and there are also street artists. After all, the night is different from the day. It''s not a wise move to dig out money at night, even on the busy streets that seem to be in good order.
Xiao Yao told Paula that he was interested in the performance in Las Vegas. That''s the truth. In the evening, he did arrange to go to the show.
Las Vegas is a comprehensive tourism city centered on the gambling industry. Many hotels are very characteristic. Some hotels have casinos, some hotels have theatres, some hotels have both casinos and theatres. On the other hand, there are many famous casinos and theaters in Las Vegas, which are not isolated, but located in hotels.
There is a theater in the Caesar Palace Hotel where Xiao Yao lives. However, after inquiring about the performance information of the various theaters of the lasvue family through the Internet, Xiao Yao is not interested in tonight''s program in the Caesar Palace performance venue, so he chooses to go to another hotel''s theater to watch the musical performance.
After watching the performance, Xiao Yao returned to his room in Caesar Palace Hotel. It''s not too late at this time, but Xiao Yao didn''t go out again. After trying some magic tricks he learned in the afternoon, he had a rest.
The next morning, Xiao Yao got up early. After washing, he went to the hotel gym to exercise early, had breakfast, went back to his room to take a bath and change clothes, and then Xiao Yao went out.
Today, Xiao Yao''s main task is still to go to the casino, but Xiao Yao does not plan to continue to play in the Caesar Palace Hotel''s casino, but is ready to change a casino.
Xiao Yao won more than 200000 yuan at Caesar Palace yesterday. Although this number does not necessarily attract the attention of casinos, Xiao Yao hopes that the later casinos notice him, the better. Of course, they should try to avoid appearing in the same casino continuously.The casino Xiao Yao went to today is called Winnie''s casino, which is not inside a hotel, but a separate one. This casino is also a regular one. Its reputation in Las Vegas is slightly worse than Caesar''s palace, which relies on the hotel. However, because it is a separate special casino, its scale is larger than Caesar''s palace.
They are all regular casinos listed for business. Although Winnie''s is larger than Caesar''s palace, its gambling methods and facilities are similar, that is, there are more gambling tables and slot machines. Xiao Yao had heard the waiter of Caesar Palace Casino explain all kinds of facilities and playing methods in the casino yesterday. Today, after entering Winnie''s casino, he didn''t need to ask the waiter to introduce them. He went to the chip exchange to change chips.
In Winnie''s casino, Xiao Yao''s action steps are the same as in Caesar''s palace yesterday. He went to roulette, dice, slot machines and other gambling tables or machines for a round, and then sat on a blackjack table.
There are wager girls in Winnie''s. As Xiao Yao''s strategy is the same as yesterday, the initial stage is to understand and judge the card potential, and the amount of bet is very small compared with the amount of chips he put on the table. Soon after, a young, beautiful and sexy girl sat next to him.
Yesterday, it was Xiao Yao''s whim to borrow baola''s chips and play together at the gambling table. The purpose is to test his ability to play two roles at the same time and count two cards. Xiao Yao has done this experiment yesterday, proving that he has this ability, and there is no need to do it every day.
It''s a rare thing to borrow chips to play with gambling girls in casinos. This kind of thing can''t be done often, otherwise it''s easy to be talked about and spread, and then attract the attention of casinos. Another point is that the algorithm of auxiliary card counter is not as good as that of big players, and the probability of winning is not as high as that of big players, that is to say, the income is not as high as that of big players.
So, although Xiao Yao met the same girl and increased the amount of bet under the stimulation of the girl, he didn''t lend the chips to the girl as he did yesterday.
There are no clocks in Winnie''s casino, but Xiao Yao has his own feeling and control, so he won''t indulge in forgetting time. When it''s lunchtime and it''s time to eat, Xiao Yao knows. There is also free food in this casino, but Xiao Yao won''t indulge in free lunch in the casino. Almost to lunch time, Xiao Yao took the chips, left the casino, found a restaurant, had a good meal.
But different from yesterday, when Xiao Yao left the casino at noon, he didn''t exchange his chips.
Today, Xiao Yao didn''t accompany her to the table. He didn''t need to take care of others. He just needed to count himself as a big player. Compared with yesterday, Xiao Yao''s pressure of counting cards today is much less.
The mental energy consumption of card counting is less, so Xiao Yao can stick to it for a long time. Yesterday, Xiao Yao had been on the streets of Las Vegas, and there was no place to go or plan to play, so Xiao Yao didn''t exchange his chips when he left at noon. After lunch, he returned to Winnie''s casino and continued to fight at the blackjack table. Until dinner time, Xiao Yao finished, changed his chips and left the casino.
Yesterday, at Caesar Palace Casino, Xiao Yao''s principal was 200000 yuan. After playing all morning, he won 200000 yuan, and he had 400000 yuan in his hand. Today, at Winnie''s casino, Xiao Yao made almost all of yesterday''s principal and profit as principal and exchanged 400000 yuan chips. With more chips, Xiao Yao''s bet will naturally increase.
At any stage, Xiao Yao''s bet today is almost twice as much as yesterday''s, and his time in the casino is almost twice as much as yesterday''s. theoretically speaking, Xiao Yao''s profit should be about four times as much as yesterday''s.
However, this is only theoretical.
Card counting is to improve the overall probability, not to ensure that each will win or how many will win, which is also affected by some aspects of luck. What''s more, Xiao Yao played two games by himself yesterday. The chips were divided into 50000 and 150000, one for each player, which is different from today''s situation.
However, Xiao Yao''s actual achievements today are quite close to this theory. When Xiao Yao came in, the principal was 400000 yuan. When he left, the total amount of chips in his hand was more than 1.35 million yuan. After all, Xiao Yao won more than 900000 today, which is just four times as much as 240000 yesterday.
Although Xiao Yao''s principal is 400000 yuan and his bet is relatively high, he won 900000 yuan or nearly one million yuan a day in the casino, which is still outstanding.
When Xiao Yao changed his chips at the chip exchange before he finally left the casino, he suddenly felt a little worried.
No matter how high the amount of Xiao Yao''s bet is, it''s impossible for him to bet more than 100000 yuan or several hundred thousand yuan at a time. This close to one million yuan was not won by Xiao Yao simply, but gradually accumulated. In the afternoon, some ordinary gamblers were attracted by the large number of chips piled up in front of Xiao Yao, and then watched around Xiao Yao''s gambling table.
When an ordinary gambler is surrounded by other gamblers, it''s easy to attract the attention of the casino managers. With more than one million chips piled in front of him, Xiao Yao is almost sure that the managers in the casino monitoring room must watch themselves through the monitoring screen.According to the rules of the casino, blackjack players are not allowed to touch cards. The cards that the Dutch officer gives to the players are all clear cards. Even if they meet a pair of players with the same number of points and the players ask to divide the cards, it is also the Dutch officer who helps to separate the two cards. The players can only put the increased chips behind another card and can''t touch the cards. Since you can''t touch the cards and the cards in the casino are only used once, it''s almost possible to change the cards and mark them. The only thing the casinos worry about is that maybe the players are the only ones who count cards.
Before coming to Las Vegas, Xiao Yao had a detailed understanding of their experience in Las Vegas casinos and their operation methods with Yan Ke and others.
As an actor, Xiao Yao''s performance on the card table is very different from that of many other people who have better memory and mental arithmetic ability than ordinary card counting team members. For example, when Xiao Yao counts cards, his eyes, expressions and actions are totally different from those of the card counting team. He can even turn around and chat with other gamblers in the card game.
In addition, Xiao Yao is not a team player. He has no teammates. He doesn''t need to do any action to play code with his teammates, so there is no possibility of exposure due to this reason.
Therefore, even if the management of the gambling house looks at him through the monitoring screen, Xiao Yao does not believe that the people of the gambling house will judge that he is counting cards through his performance in such a short period of time.
Which day haven''t the casinos met a gambler who is full of luck, big win and special win? Judging from today''s performance alone, Xiao Yao''s self-consciousness should not be too suspicious. Therefore, after other gamblers began to watch, Xiao Yao did not reduce the amount of bet, nor did he deliberately lose. He felt that it would attract the attention of the casino management.
However, one million is a very conspicuous number. Even if the management of the casino has not suspected that he is counting cards and has not blacklisted him, it is likely to add him to the list that needs attention. Xiao Yao doesn''t regret his performance after he was surrounded by gamblers, but he regrets the amount of money he made today.
But on the other hand, Xiao Yao''s visit to Las Vegas is targeted and time limited. If he wants to win a certain amount, he must make a certain amount of bets. When the amount of bets reaches a certain level and the profit reaches a certain level, it seems impossible not to attract the attention of the casinos. This is actually a paradox.
Xiao Yao thinks that the only thing he can do now seems to be to adjust his original plan, or to make his plan more specific and detailed.
"Would it be better if the million were won in two or three different casinos?" Out of the casino, back to the hotel, Xiao Yao pondered on the road, "should we run more casinos in the future?"
