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

Translator: Etrit Adami Reviewer: Ervis Bregu

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

Keshu qe tipi i magjise qe mua me me pelqen, dhe une jam magjistar,

is magic that uses technology to create illusions.

eshte magjia e cila perdor teknologjine

per te krijuar iluzione.

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

Keshtu une do doja t'ju tregoj juve dicka per te cilen kam punuar.

Eshte nje aplikacion

It's an application

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

qe une mendoj se mund te jete i nevojshem per artistet --

artistet e multimedias ne vecanti.

Ky aplikacion sinkronizon videot

It synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices.

ndermjet disa ekraneve pajisjeve mobile.

Dhe une morra borxh keto tre IPod-e

I borrowed these three iPods from people here in the audience

nga persona ketu ne audience

to show you what I mean.

per t'ju treguar cfare dua te them.

Dhe une do ti perdor ato per tju treguar juve

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

paksa rreth temes sime te preferuar:

deception.

mashtrimi.

(Music)

(Muzike)

Nje nga magjistaret e mi te preferuar

One of my favorite magicians is Karl Germain.

eshte Karl Germain.

He had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom

Ai beri kete truk te mrekullueshem

ku nje trendafil do te celte

right in front of your eyes.

perpara syve tuaj .

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

Por ishte prodhimi i nje fluture

qe ishte me e bukura.

(Recording) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

(Regjistrim) Zonja dhe Zoterinj,

the creation of life.

krijimi i jetes.

(Applause)

(Duartrokitje)

(Music)

(Muzike)

Marco Tempest: When asked about deception,

Marko Tempest: Kur e pyeten rreth mashtrimit,

ai tha kete:

he said this:

Folesi: Magjia eshte profesioni me i ndershem.

Announcer: Magic is the only honest profession.

A magician promises to deceive you --

Nje magjistar ju premton qe t'ju mashtroj--

dhe ai e ben.

and he does.

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

MT: Me pelen te mendoj per veten time si nje magjistar i ndershem.

Une perdor shume truke,

I use a lot of tricks,

which means that sometimes I have to lie to you.

qe do te thote

ndonjehere me duhet t'ju genjej.

Now I feel bad about that.

Tani une ndjehem keq rreth kesaj.

But people lie every day.

Por njerezit genjejne perdite.

(Ringing)

(Bie zilja) Prit.

Hold on.

Phone: Hey, where are you?

Vajza ne Telefon: Hej, ku je ti ?

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

MT; Kam ngecur ne trafik. Do te jem aty shume shpejt.

Te gjithe e keni bere kete.

You've all done it.

(Laughter)

(E qeshur)

(Music)

Zonja: Do te jemi gati per nje minute, i dashur.

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

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

Burri: Eshte pikerisht ajo qe kam dashur gjithmone.

Left: You were great.

Grurja: Ti je fantastik.

MT: Deception,

MT: Mashtrimi,

it's a fundamental part of life.

eshte pjese fondamentale e jetes.

Now polls show

Tani sondazhet tregojne

that men tell twice as many lies as women --

qe burrat thone dy here me shume genjeshtra

se sa grate --

assuming the women they asked told the truth.

duke supozuar qe gruaja qe ata pyeten tha te verteten.

(Te qeshura)

(Laughing)

We deceive to gain advantage

Ne genjejme per te qene ne avantazh

and to hide our weaknesses.

dhe per te fshehur dobesine tone.

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

Gjenerali Kinez Sun Tzu

ka thene qe e gjithe lufta

bazohet mbi mashtrimin.

Oscar Uaild

Oscar Wilde said the same thing of romance.

tha te njejten gje per romancen.

Some people deceive

Disa njerez

for money.

mashtrojne per leke.

Let's play a game.

Le te bejme nje loje.

Three cards, three chances.

Tre letra, tre mundesi.

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

Folesi: Nje 5 do te japi ty 10, dhe 10 do te jape 20.

Now, where's the lady?

Po tani ku eshte dama?

Where is the queen?

Ku eshte mbreteresha?

MT: Kjo?

MT: This one?

Sorry. You lose.

Me vjen keq: Ju humbet.

Well, I didn't deceive you.

Mire, une nuk ju genjeva.

You deceived yourself.

Ju mashtruat veten.

Self-deception.

Vete-mashtrimi.

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

Kjo ndodh kur ne i mbushim mendjen vetes

qe genjeshtra eshte e vertete.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.

Disa here eshte e veshtire t'i shikosh te dyja vec e vec.

Kumaxhinjte manjake

Compulsive gamblers are experts at self-deception.

jane eksperte ne vete-mashtrimin.

(Slot machine)

(Shurme makinerie bixhozi)

They believe they can win.

Ata mendojne se mund te fitojne.

They forget the times they lose.

Ata harrojne sa here kane humbur.

The brain is very good at forgetting.

Truri eshte shume i mire ne te harruar.

Bad experiences are quickly forgotten.

Momentet e keqia harrohen shpejt.

Momentet e keqia

Bad experiences quickly disappear.

zhduken shpejt.

Ja pse eshte qe ne mes te nje kozmosi te madh ,

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,

ne jemi mrekullisht optimist.

we are so wonderfully optimistic.

Vete-mashtrimi yne

Our self-deception becomes a positive illusion --

behet nje iluzion pozitiv --

pse filmat

why movies are able to take us onto extraordinary adventures;

jane ne gjendje te na cojne ne aventura te jashtezakonshme;

pse ne besojme Romeon

why we believe Romeo when he says he loves Juliet;

kur ai thote qe e dashuron Zhulieten;

and why single notes of music,

dhe pse notat teke te muzikes,

when played together,

kur luhen bashke,

become a sonata and conjure up meaning.

behen nje sonate dhe te sjellin ne mendje kuptimin.

Kjo shte "Drita e Henes."

That's "Clair De lune."

Its composer, called Debussy,

Kompozitori i saj Debysi

ka thene qe arti

said that art was the greatest deception of all.

ishte mashtrimi me i bukur i te gjitheve.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions --

Arti eshte nje mashtrim

qe krijon emocione reale --

a lie that creates a truth.

nje genjeshter krijon nje te vertete.

Dhe kur e jep veten ne ate mashtrim,

And when you give yourself over to that deception,

ajo behet magji.

it becomes magic.

[MAGIC]
