The magic of truth and lies (and iPods) | Marco Tempest

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Zlatko Smetisko

So the type of magic I like, and I'm a magician,

Dakle, vrsta magije koju ja volim, a ja sam mađioničar,

is magic that uses technology to create illusions.

je magija koja koristi tehnologiju

kako bi se stvorila iluzija.

So I would like to show you something I've been working on.

Stoga bih vam volio pokazati nešto na čemu radim.

To je aplikacija

It's an application

that I think will be useful for artists -- multimedia artists in particular.

koja će, po mom mišljenju, biti korisna umjetnicima --

osobito multimedijalnim umjetnicima.

Sinkronizira video zapise

It synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices.

preko više ekrana mobilnih uređaja.

I posudio sam ova tri iPoda

I borrowed these three iPods from people here in the audience

od ljudi ovdje iz publike

to show you what I mean.

kako bih vam pokazao što pod time mislim.

I upotrijebit ću ih kako bih vam rekao

And I'm going to use them to tell you a little bit about my favorite subject:

malo više o svojoj omiljenoj temi:

deception.

obmani.

(Music)

(Glazba)

Jedan od mojih omiljenih mađioničara

One of my favorite magicians is Karl Germain.

je Karl Germain.

He had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom

On je imao taj odličan trik

u kojem bi ružin grm procvjetao

right in front of your eyes.

upravo pred vašim očima.

But it was his production of a butterfly that was the most beautiful.

Ali njegova je produkcija leptira

bila najljepša.

(Recording) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

(Snimka) Najavljivač: Dame i gospodo,

the creation of life.

stvaranje života.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

(Music)

(Glazba)

Marco Tempest: When asked about deception,

Marco Tempest: Kada su ga pitali o obmani,

rekao je ovo:

he said this:

Najavljivač: Magija je jedina poštena profesija.

Announcer: Magic is the only honest profession.

A magician promises to deceive you --

Mađioničar obećaje da će vas obmaniti --

i to učini.

and he does.

MT: I like to think of myself as an honest magician.

MT: Volim se smatrati poštenim mađioničarem.

Koristim puno trikova,

I use a lot of tricks,

which means that sometimes I have to lie to you.

što znači

da vam ponekad moram lagati.

Now I feel bad about that.

Osjećam se loše zbog toga.

But people lie every day.

Ali ljudi lažu svakog dana.

(Ringing)

(Zvonjenje) Pričekajte.

Hold on.

Phone: Hey, where are you?

Djevojka u telefonu: Hej, gdje si?

MT: Stuck in traffic. I'll be there soon.

MT: Zaglavio sam u prometu. Doći ću uskoro.

Svi ste to učinili.

You've all done it.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Music)

Gospođa: Bit ću spremna za minutu, srce.

Right: I'll be ready in just a minute, darling.

Center: It's just what I've always wanted.

Muškarac: Upravo sam to oduvijek želio.

Left: You were great.

Žena: Izgledaš odlično.

MT: Deception,

MT: Obmana

it's a fundamental part of life.

je temeljni dio života.

Now polls show

Istraživanja pokazuju

that men tell twice as many lies as women --

da muškarci lažu dvostruko više

od žena --

assuming the women they asked told the truth.

pretpostavljajući da su žene koje su pitali rekle istinu.

(Smijeh)

(Laughing)

We deceive to gain advantage

Obmanjujemo kako bismo stekli prednost

and to hide our weaknesses.

i sakrili naše slabosti.

The Chinese general Sun Tzu said that all war was based on deception.

Kineski general Sun Tzu

je rekao da se svaki rat

temelji na obmani.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde said the same thing of romance.

je rekao istu stvar o romantici.

Some people deceive

Neki ljudi

for money.

obmanjuju za novac.

Let's play a game.

Igrajmo igru.

Three cards, three chances.

Tri karte, tri šanse.

Announcer: One five will get you 10, 10 will get you 20.

Najavljivač: Jedna petica će ti donijeti 10, 10 će ti donijeti 20.

Now, where's the lady?

Gdje je dama?

Where is the queen?

Gdje je kraljica?

MT: Ova?

MT: This one?

Sorry. You lose.

Žao mi je. Izgubili ste.

Well, I didn't deceive you.

Pa, nisam vas obmanuo.

You deceived yourself.

Sami ste se obmanili.

Self-deception.

Samoobmana.

That's when we convince ourselves that a lie is the truth.

To je kada uvjerimo sami sebe

kako je laž istina.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.

Ponekad je teško razlikovati to dvoje.

Ovisnici o kockanju

Compulsive gamblers are experts at self-deception.

stručnjaci su samoobmane.

(Slot machine)

(Zvuk automata)

They believe they can win.

Vjeruju kako mogu pobijediti.

They forget the times they lose.

Zaborave trenutke kada su izgubili.

The brain is very good at forgetting.

Mozak je jako dobar u zaboravljanju.

Bad experiences are quickly forgotten.

Loša su iskustva vrlo brzo zaboravljena.

Loša iskustva

Bad experiences quickly disappear.

brzo nestanu.

I upravo smo zato u ovom ogromnom i usamljenom svemiru,

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,

tako prekrasno optimistični.

we are so wonderfully optimistic.

Naša samoobmana

Our self-deception becomes a positive illusion --

postaje pozitivna iluzija --

zato nas filmovi

why movies are able to take us onto extraordinary adventures;

mogu odvesti na izvanredne avanture;

zato vjerujemo Romeu

why we believe Romeo when he says he loves Juliet;

kada kaže da voli Juliju;

and why single notes of music,

i zato pojedine glazbene note,

when played together,

kada se sviraju zajedno,

become a sonata and conjure up meaning.

postaju sonate i prizivaju značenje.

Ovo je "Clair de Lune."

That's "Clair De lune."

Its composer, called Debussy,

Njezin je skladatelj zvan Debussy

rekao kako je umjetnost

said that art was the greatest deception of all.

najveća obmana od svih.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions --

Umjetnost je obmana

koja stvara prave osjećaje --

a lie that creates a truth.

laž koja stvara istinu.

A kada se predate toj obmani,

And when you give yourself over to that deception,

ona postaje magija.

it becomes magic.

[MAGIC]
