2. Unless absolutely necessary, no magician will use other people's animals to perform: because you can't make this animal listen to you, and more importantly, a magician who loves animal assistants won't lend it to you easily, because different magic habits can easily hurt animals. I had a similar painful experience. I lent a pigeon to others, but the magician used too much force to change the pigeon, which caused the pigeon to die seriously. This made me very sad and guilty, so I will never lend the pigeon to others again.
It is extremely difficult to train pigeons, because birds have low IQ, unlike dogs, they are very smart. The first pigeon I hit, it should have flown around and returned to my hand, but maybe because I was the last one to appear, it didn't return to my hand obediently after waiting for too long, but flew straight to the judge's seat and just flew to Eric's hand. I went to the judge's bench, took the pigeon back, and made sure he was all right before continuing the performance. When I caught the pigeon and walked onto the stage, I knew that the music had been delayed for more than ten seconds, and my mind was immediately rearranging the process. Fortunately, the performance ended smoothly and the music was just right.
In fact, in the usual performance, the pigeons didn't fly back, which happened at the fifth Shanghai Magic Festival. It was weird at the time, too. The same pigeon flew to the jury: Julianne Chen (also a magic elder who had a great influence on me), but I didn't care about him at that time and continued to perform, but Julianne Chen came to me specially afterwards and told me the magician's attitude towards animal assistants internationally. You must take good care of your assistant, which is also a respect for magic. No matter what happens, you must make sure that he is all right before you can continue to perform. I feel very touched and remember her words. From then on, once this happens, as long as this happens, I will always get the pigeon back and continue to perform. That night, the scene was a big theater, which was very high. Once the pigeon flies away, it is difficult to get it back. I am psychologically prepared. Once the pigeon flies away, I will stop performing and get him back anyway, and then I ask the judges to give me another chance. If not, forget it. I didn't expect my little pigeon to fly to the judges' bench. It's easy to get it back, and I don't have to stop performing. Finally, Mr. Liu Qian gave me a high evaluation, which I didn't expect. Here I want to thank my little pigeon baby very much, hehe ~ ~
Finally, a friend said that Eric lent me the pigeon, and I made an appointment with Eric in advance, so the pigeon flew to Eric. Here, I would like to solemnly declare that Mr. Eric has always been my respected senior and just flew to Hunan before the performance began that day. I hope everyone will participate because of Mr. Eric's comments on me, which I don't want to see. Liu Qian and several judges are very objective and fair. I respect them very much, and I hope everyone will respect them.
I write a lot, so don't think I'm wordy, because it's very important to me. My purpose is to hope that everyone can know more about the profession of magician, respect and like the art of magic more, and also hope that all magicians and even everyone can be kind to their animal friends.
