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

Translator: Erik Ušaj Reviewer: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

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

Tako, čarovnija ki mi je všeč, in sem čarodej,

is magic that uses technology to create illusions.

je čarovnija, ki za ustvarjanje iluzij

uporablja tehnologijo.

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

In rad bi vam prikazal nekaj, kar sem pripravljal.

To je aplikacija

It's an application

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

za katero menim, da je uporabna za umetnike --

še posebej za večpredstavnostne umetnike.

Ta sinhronizira video

It synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices.

na zaslonih večih mobilnih naprav.

Med občinstvom sem si izposodil

I borrowed these three iPods from people here in the audience

te tri iPode, da vam

to show you what I mean.

prikažem, kaj mislim.

Uporabil jih bom za pripoved

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

o moji najljubši temi:

deception.

zavajanju.

(Music)

(Glasba)

Med mojimi najljubšimi čarodeji

One of my favorite magicians is Karl Germain.

je Karl Germain.

He had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom

Imel je ta čudoviti trik,

kjer je vrtnica zacvetela

right in front of your eyes.

kar pred vašimi očmi.

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

A najlepša je bila njegova

njegova izvedba metulja.

(Recording) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

(Posnetek) "Dame in gospodje:

the creation of life.

stvarjenje življenja."

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

(Music)

(Glasba)

Marco Tempest: When asked about deception,

Marco Tempest: Ko so ga vprašali o zavajanju,

je rekel:

he said this:

"Čarodej je edini pošten poklic.

Announcer: Magic is the only honest profession.

A magician promises to deceive you --

Čarodej vam obljubi, da vas bo zavedel --

in to tudi naredi."

and he does.

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

MT: Imam se za poštenega čarodeja.

Uporabljam veliko trikov,

I use a lot of tricks,

which means that sometimes I have to lie to you.

kar pomeni,

da se vam moram včasih zlagati.

Now I feel bad about that.

Zdaj se počutim grdo zaradi tega.

But people lie every day.

Toda ljudje lažemo vsak dan.

(Ringing)

(Zvonenje) Samo trenutek.

Hold on.

Phone: Hey, where are you?

Gospodična na telefonu: "Hej, kje si?"

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

MT: Ujet v prometu. Kmalu bom tam.

Vsi ste že to kdaj rekli.

You've all done it.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Music)

Gospa: "Dragi, pripravljena bom v minuti."

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

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

Moški: "Prav to sem si vedno želel."

Left: You were great.

Ženska: "Super si bil."

MT: Deception,

MT: Prevare

it's a fundamental part of life.

so temeljni del življenja.

Now polls show

Ankete govorijo,

that men tell twice as many lies as women --

da moški uporabijo dvakrat več laži

kot ženske --

assuming the women they asked told the truth.

če predpostavimo, da so bili ženski odgovori odkriti.

(Smeh)

(Laughing)

We deceive to gain advantage

Zavajamo, da pridobimo prednost

and to hide our weaknesses.

in prikrivamo svoje slabosti.

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

Kitajski general Sun Tzu

je rekel, da so vse vojne

osnovane na zavajanju.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde said the same thing of romance.

je isto rekel o romanci.

Some people deceive

Nekateri

for money.

zavajajo za denar.

Let's play a game.

Igrajmo se igro.

Three cards, three chances.

Tri karte, tri šanse.

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

"Ena petka prinese 10, 10 prinese 20."

Now, where's the lady?

In kje je dama?

Where is the queen?

Kje je kraljica?

MT: Tale?

MT: This one?

Sorry. You lose.

Žal, ste izgubili.

Well, I didn't deceive you.

No, nisem vas zavedel.

You deceived yourself.

Sami ste se.

Self-deception.

Samoprevara.

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

To je, ko prepričamo sami sebe,

da je laž resnica.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.

Včasih težko razločimo med eno in drugo.

Kompulzivni hazarderji

Compulsive gamblers are experts at self-deception.

so eksperti v samoprevari.

(Slot machine)

(Ropot igralnega avtomata)

They believe they can win.

Verjamejo, da lahko zmagajo.

They forget the times they lose.

Pozabijo kolikokrat izgubijo.

The brain is very good at forgetting.

Možgani so zelo pozabljivi.

Bad experiences are quickly forgotten.

Slabe izkušnje so hitro pozabljene.

Slabe izkušnje

Bad experiences quickly disappear.

hitro izginejo.

Zato smo v tem širnem in samotnem kozmosu

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,

tako čudovito optimistični.

we are so wonderfully optimistic.

Naše samozavajanje

Our self-deception becomes a positive illusion --

postane pozitivna iluzija --

zato nas filmi

why movies are able to take us onto extraordinary adventures;

popeljejo v nenavadne avanture;

zato verjamemo Romeu,

why we believe Romeo when he says he loves Juliet;

ko reče, da ljubi Julijo;

and why single notes of music,

in posamezni toni,

when played together,

ko jih zaigramo skupaj,

become a sonata and conjure up meaning.

postanejo sonata in pričarajo pomen.

To je "Clair de Lune".

That's "Clair De lune."

Its composer, called Debussy,

Njen skladatelj, Debussy,

je rekel, da je umetnost

said that art was the greatest deception of all.

največje med vsemi zavajanji.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions --

Umetnost je zavajanje,

ki ustvarja prava čustva --

a lie that creates a truth.

laž, ki ustvari resnico.

In ko se temu prepustite,

And when you give yourself over to that deception,

postane čarovnija.

it becomes magic.

[MAGIC]
