  • I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old learned how to make a coin disappear.
  • 我成为一名魔术师是一个偶然。九岁的时候,我学会了如何让硬币消失。
  • I'd read The Lord of the Rings and ventured into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells—
  • 我读过《魔戒》,并且冒险进入图书馆的成人区寻找咒语书——
  • nine being that curious age at which you're old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of arcane fantasy literature
  • 九岁是一个好奇的年龄,这个年纪已经能够阅读超过1200页的神秘奇幻文学作品
  • but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library.
  • 但你还年轻,仍然有希望可能会在图书馆找到一本关于真正魔术的书籍。
  • The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique, and I dedicated the next months to practice
  • 我找到的那本书教的是基本的手法技巧,接下来我花了几个月时间练习
  • At first the magic wasn't any good.
  • 起初,魔术表演的并不好。
  • At first it wasn't even magic; it was just a trick—a bad trick.
  • 一开始它甚至不算是魔术,只是个恶作剧——一个坏把戏。
  • I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror.
  • 我每天花几个小时在浴室里对着镜子练习隐秘动作。
  • I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day,
  • 我把硬币扔了一遍又一遍,一天掉了无数次,
  • and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet sample from the hardware store and placed it under the mirror to muffle the sound of the coin falling again and again
  • 两个星期之后,妈妈从五金店买了一块地毯,把它放在镜子下面,以掩盖硬币一次又一次落下的声音,
  • I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano,
  • 我听爸爸在钢琴上练习新乐曲,
  • so I knew how to practice—slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed.
  • 所以我知道练习方法——慢慢地,有意识地,追求精确而不是速度。
  • One day I tried the illusion in the mirror and the coin vanished.
  • 有一天我试着对着镜子表演,然后硬币不见了。
  • It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle.
  • 这看起来不像是一个魔术,像是个奇迹。
