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

Prevodilac: Milan Jaćević Lektor: Ivana Korom

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

Tip magije koji ja volim - a ja sam mađioničar -

is magic that uses technology to create illusions.

jeste magija koja koristi tehnologiju

da bi stvorila iluzije.

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

Voleo bih da vam pokažem nešto na čemu sam radio.

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 umetnicima --

naročito multimedijalnim umetnicima.

Ona sinhronizuje video klipove

It synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices.

preko više ekrana mobilnih uređaja.

Pozajmio sam ova tri Ajpoda

I borrowed these three iPods from people here in the audience

od ljudi iz publike

to show you what I mean.

da bih vam pokazao na šta mislim,

i iskoristiću ih da bih vam ispričao

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

ponešto o mojoj omiljenoj temi:

deception.

obmani.

(Music)

(Muzika)

Jedan od mojih omiljenih mađioničara

One of my favorite magicians is Karl Germain.

je Karl Džermejn.

He had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom

Znao je predivan trik -

da učini da žbun ruža procveta

right in front of your eyes.

ispred vaših očiju.

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

Ali, najlepše od svega bilo je

njegovo stvaranje leptira.

(Recording) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

(Snimak) Najavljivač: Dame i gospodo,

the creation of life.

stvaranje života.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

(Music)

(Muzika)

Marco Tempest: When asked about deception,

Marko Tempest: Kada su ga upitali o obmani,

rekao je:

he said this:

Najavljivač: Magija je jedino iskreno zanimanje.

Announcer: Magic is the only honest profession.

A magician promises to deceive you --

Mađioničar obećava da će vas obmanuti --

i to i čini.

and he does.

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

MT: Sebe smatram za iskrenog mađioničara.

Koristim mnogo trikova,

I use a lot of tricks,

which means that sometimes I have to lie to you.

što znači

da vas, ponekad, moram slagati.

Now I feel bad about that.

Osećam se loše zbog toga.

But people lie every day.

Ali, ljudi lažu svakoga dana.

(Ringing)

(Zvonjava) Sačekaj.

Hold on.

Phone: Hey, where are you?

Devojka na telefonu: Hej, gde si?

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

MT: U saobraćajnoj gužvi. Stižem uskoro.

Svi ste vi to činili.

You've all done it.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Music)

Devojka: Biću spremna za koji minut, dragi.

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

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

Muškarac: To je upravo ono što sam oduvek želeo.

Left: You were great.

Žena: Izgledaš sjajno.

MT: Deception,

MT: Obmana,

it's a fundamental part of life.

to je osnovni deo života.

Now polls show

Ankete pokazuju

that men tell twice as many lies as women --

da muškarci lažu dva puta više

od žena --

assuming the women they asked told the truth.

ako pretpostavimo da su žene koje su anketirali govorile istinu.

(Smeh)

(Laughing)

We deceive to gain advantage

Obmanjujemo da bismo stekli prednost

and to hide our weaknesses.

i da bi sakrili naše slabosti.

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

Kineski general Sun Cu

je rekao da je ratovanje u celini

bazirano na obmani.

Oskar Vajld

Oscar Wilde said the same thing of romance.

je rekao isto, samo o zavođenju.

Some people deceive

Neki ljudi

for money.

obmanjuju za novac.

Let's play a game.

Hajde da se igramo.

Three cards, three chances.

Tri karte, tri šanse.

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

Najavljivač: Jedna od pet vam donosi 10, 10 vam donosi 20.

Now, where's the lady?

I, gde je dama?

Where is the queen?

Gde je kraljica?

MT: Ova ovde?

MT: This one?

Sorry. You lose.

Žao mi je. Izgubili ste.

Well, I didn't deceive you.

Pa, nisam vas obmanuo.

You deceived yourself.

Obmanuli ste sami sebe.

Self-deception.

Samoobmana.

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

To je kada uverimo sebe

da je laž zapravo istina.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.

Ponekad je teško razlikovati jedno od drugog.

Kompulsivni kockari

Compulsive gamblers are experts at self-deception.

su stručnjaci za samoobmanu.

(Slot machine)

(Zvuci slot-mašine)

They believe they can win.

Oni veruju da mogu pobediti.

They forget the times they lose.

Zaboravljaju slučajeve kada su izgubili.

The brain is very good at forgetting.

Mozak je vrlo dobar u zaboravljanju.

Bad experiences are quickly forgotten.

Loša iskustva se brzo zaborave.

Loša iskustva

Bad experiences quickly disappear.

brzo nestanu.

Upravo zbog toga smo, u ovom ogromnom, usamljenom univerzumu,

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,

mi tako predivno 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 povesti na nezaboravne avanture;

zato verujemo Romeu

why we believe Romeo when he says he loves Juliet;

kada kaže da voli Juliju;

and why single notes of music,

zato pojedinačne note u muzici,

when played together,

odsvirane zajedno,

become a sonata and conjure up meaning.

postaju sonata i prizivaju značenje.

To je "Mesečina."

That's "Clair De lune."

Its composer, called Debussy,

Njen kompozitor, Debisi,

rekao je da je umetnost

said that art was the greatest deception of all.

najveća obmana od svih.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions --

Umetnost je obmana

koja stvara prave emocije --

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]
