Brain magic | Keith Barry

譯者: Ariel Hsu 審譯者: Shelley Krishna Tsang

Brain magic. What's brain magic all about?

腦力魔術。究竟什麼是腦力魔術？

Brain magic to me indicates that area of magic

對我來說腦力魔術指示出對於魔術的範圍是

dealing with psychological and mind-reading effects.

與心靈產生聯繫以及心智讀取作用。

所以與傳統魔術不同，它使用的是語言的力量。

So unlike traditional magic, it uses the power of words,

linguistic deception, non-verbal communication

語言學的騙局，沒有語言的溝通

and various other techniques to create the illusion of a sixth sense.

與各式各樣的技巧來產生第六感的幻覺

I'm going to show you all how easy it is

現在，我要讓大家看看操縱人類的大腦

有多麼容易，一旦你能一窺堂奧。

to manipulate the human mind once you know how.

I want everybody downstairs also to join in with me and everybody.

我希望在座及樓下的每一位來賓能跟我一起活動一下。

I want everybody to put out your hands like this for me, first of all.

首先，請大家像這樣伸出你們的手。

OK, clap them together, once.

好，拍手一次。

OK, reverse your hands.

好，反轉你們的手。

Now, follow my actions exactly.

接下來確實的跟著我的動作。

Now about half the audience has their left hand up. Why is that?

大約有一半的人舉起來的是左手，那ㄟ阿ㄋㄟ(台語, =為什麼)？

OK, swap them around, put your right hand up.

好，交換過來，右手在上。

Cross your hands over, so your right hand goes over,

好，再來，將雙手交叉讓你的右手越過左手。

interlace your fingers like this,

像這樣十指反扣交疊 ，

then make sure your right thumb is outside your left thumb --

然後確認一下你的右手拇指在左手拇指的外面…

這很重要。

that's very important.

Yours is the other way around, so swap it around.

你們的是另一邊的反方向，所以要換過來。

Excellent, OK. Extend your fingers like this for me.

太棒了，好。伸出你們的食指，像這樣。

All right. Tap them together once.

對~了，輕輕碰一下。

好，現在，如果你沒有允許我蒙蔽了你的心智。

OK, now, if you did not allow me to deceive your minds,

you would all be able to do this.

你們就一定可以像這樣做。

（哄堂大笑）

(Laughter)

(Laughter ends)

Now you can see how easy it is

你看到了吧！要操縱人類的大腦

for me to manipulate the human mind, once you know how.

是多麼容易，一旦你能了解箇中奧妙。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

Now, I remember when I was about 15,

我現在想起大約在我15歲的時候…

(Laughter)

我讀過一本生活雜誌的複本，

I read a copy of Life magazine,

which detailed a story about a 75-year-old blind Russian woman

詳細的描述有關一位75歲的俄羅斯眼盲老太太

可以辨識印刷的文字…

who could sense printed letters --

還有些人在試 嗯~

there's still people trying to do it --

（哄堂大笑）

(Laughter)

-- who could sense printed letters and even sense colors, just by touch.

她只藉由觸摸，就可以辨識印刷的文字甚至還可以辨別顏色。

And she was completely blind.

而她是全盲。

She could also read the serial numbers on bills

她還可以讀出反放在堅硬平面上

when they were placed, face down, on a hard surface.

單據中的一連串數字。

Now, I was fascinated, but at the same time, skeptical.

當時，我覺得很不可思議卻也無法相信。

How could somebody read using their fingertips?

怎麼有人可以用手指閱讀？

你想想，如果你認真的思考，

You know, if you actually think about it, if somebody is totally blind --

一個已經全盲的人…

a guy yesterday did a demonstration in one of the rooms,

昨天有個人在一個地方論證此事

where people had to close their eyes and they could just hear things.

在那裡的人必須閉著眼睛，只能用耳朵聽。

會想要對這種事做嘗試和更深入了解真的很奇怪，

And it's just a really weird thing to try and figure out.

怎麼有人可以用手指閱讀？

How could somebody read using their fingertips?

Now earlier on, as part of a TV show that I have coming up on MTV,

之前在電視中曾經播放過一段我的MTV，

我嘗試對傳說中的

I attempted to give a similar demonstration

of what is now known as second sight.

『第三隻眼』作類似的驗證。

那我們來看一下吧。

So, let's take a look.

(Video) Man: There we go.

（影片）男人：我們過去吧！

I'm going to guide you into the car.

我會引導妳上車。

Kathryn Thomas: (Laughter)

Kathryn：（大笑）

Man: You're OK, keep on going.

男人：你別擔心，繼續往前走。

KT: How are you?

Kathryn：你好嗎？

Keith Barry: Kathryn, it's Keith here.

Keith Barry: 凱薩琳(Kathryn)，我是基斯(Keith)，我要帶你到一個秘密的地點好嗎？

I'm going to take you to a secret location, OK?

Kathryn, there was no way you could see through that blindfold.

KB: 凱薩琳，現在你完全無法透過這眼罩看到任何東西。

KT: OK, but don't say my name like that. KB: But you're OK?

Kathryn: 好，但是不要那樣叫我的名子。

KT: Yes.

KB: 好，但你是看不到的，對嗎？

Kathryn: 是的。

KB: No way to see through it? KT: No.

KB: 你完全無法透過它看到任何東西，是嗎？

Kathryn: 對。

KB: I'll take it off.

KB: 好，我現在要將它拿下來，你沒事，你沒問題。

Do you want to take the rest off?

你願意將另一部分也拿下來嗎。

Take it off, you're OK. We'll stop for a second.

儘管拿下來，沒關係。我們只是暫停一下。

KT: I'm so afraid of what I'm going to see.

Kathryn: 我很怕不知道會看到啥。

KB: You're fine, take it off. You're OK. You're safe.

KB: 不會，不會，不會有事，沒關係的，拿掉它。你很好，很安全。

Have you ever heard of second sight?

你有沒有聽過『第三隻眼』？

KT: No.

Kathryn: 沒有。

KB: Second sight is whereby a mind-control expert

KB: 『第三隻眼』是由心靈控制專家

can see through somebody else's eyes.

藉由他人的眼觀察。

And I'm going to try that right now.

而我現在正要做這項嘗試。

KT: God.

Kathryn: 天啊！

KB: Are you ready?

KB: 你準備好了嗎？

這是哪？前面沒路...

Where is it? There's no way --

KT: (Beep)

Kathryn: 嗶 -♪（消音）

哦，天啊！

KT: Oh, my God!

KB: Don't say anything,

KB: 噓--不要說話

I'm trying to see through your eyes. I can't see.

我正嘗試用你的眼睛來看。我看不到。

KT: There's a wall, there's a wall.

Kathryn: 前面有一道牆，前面有一道牆。

KB: Look at the road, look at the road.

KB: 看路，看路。

KT: OK, OK, OK. Oh, my God!

Kathryn: 好，好，好。噢，我的天啊！

KB: Now, anything coming at all? KT: No.

KB: 有啥靠過來嗎？

Kathryn: 沒，沒，沒，都沒有。

KB: Sure there's not?

KB: 確定沒有嗎？

KT: No, no, I'm just still looking at the road.

Kathryn: 沒有，沒有，我都有在看路。

I'm looking at the road, all the time.

一直都在看路。

I'm not taking my eyes off the road.

我的眼睛沒離開過路面。

(Beep)

嗶 -♪（消音）

(Beep)

嗶-♪（消音）

嗶-♪（消音）

(Beep)

KT: Oh, my God!

噢，我的天啊！

KB: Where are we? Where are we?

KB: 我們在哪？我們在哪？

We're going uphill, are we going uphill?

我們在上坡，我們在上坡嗎？

KT: Look at the road -- (Beep)

Kathryn: 看路…嗶--（消音）

Still got that goddamn blindfold on.

還戴著那天殺的眼罩。

KB: What?

KB: 什麼？

KT: How are you doing this?

Kathryn: 你這樣行嗎？

KB: Just don't break my concentration.

KB: 別分散我的注意力就行。

We're OK, though? KT: Yes.

KB: 我們很好，對吧？

Kathryn: 對。

That's so weird.

這超怪異。

We're nearly there. Oh, my God!

我們快到了。厚，我的天啊！

厚，我的老天爺啊！

Oh, my God!

KB: 我得停下來。

KB: And I've stopped.

KT: That is weird.

Kathryn: 那很怪異。

You're like a freak-ass of nature.

你活像個天生怪咖。

That was the most scary thing I've ever done in my life!

那是我這輩子做過最可怕的事。

(Applause)

（熱烈鼓掌）

KB: Thank you.

謝謝大家！

By the way, two days ago, we were going to film this

對了，兩天前，

在前方的跑道

down there, at the race course, and we got a guy into a car,

我們打算拍攝這支影片

我們還邀請一位男士上車，

and we got a camera man in the back,

後座有一位攝影師

but halfway through the drive,

車才開到半路，他說他有…

he told me he had, I think it was a nine-millimeter,

我想大約有個9毫米的什麼東東，刺到他的大腿。

stuck to his leg.

所以我很快的煞車，就這樣。

So, I stopped pretty quick, and that was it.

所以，你們覺得透過別人的眼睛

So, do you believe it's possible to see through somebody else's eyes?

看東西是可能的嗎？

That's the question.

那是個問題。

Now, most people here would automatically say no.

也許大部分在場的人會直覺說不可能。好，

OK, but I want you to realize some facts.

不過我希望你們能明白一些事

I couldn't see through the blindfold.

戴著眼罩我完全看不到。

The car was not gimmicked or tricked in any way.

那輛車沒有裝任何機關也沒動過手腳，

The girl, I'd never met before, all right.

我從沒見過那女孩，好嗎。

So, I want you to just think about it for a moment.

我請大家稍微往另一面思考

大部分人開始想以

A lot of people try to come up

with a logical solution to what just happened, all right.

邏輯解答剛才發生的事，沒關係。

But because your brains are not trained in the art of deception,

只是各位的頭腦並未受過騙局技巧的訓練，

the solutions you come up with

你想出來的答案

will, 99 percent of the time, be way off the mark.

有99％一定會偏離重點。

這是因為魔術都是『注意力導引』。

This is because magic is all about directing attention.

If, for instance, I didn't want you to look at my right hand,

舉例，我不要你看我的右手。

當然，我也不去看它。

then I don't look at it.

But if I wanted you to look at my right hand,

然而如果我希望你看著我的右手，

然後我也會看著它，你們看。

then I look at it, too.

You see, it's very simple, once you know how,

它真的超簡單，只要你知道方法。

but very complicated in other ways.

不過，也有其複雜的一面。

I'm going to give you some demonstrations right now.

現在我來做幾項示範，現場的，就現在。

I need two people to help me out real quick. Can you come up?

我需要2個人能很快出來幫我的忙。

你可以上來嗎？

And let's see, down at the end, here, can you also come up, real quick?

我們再看看，角落那位，這裡，

你也可以迅速上來嗎？

Do you mind? Yes, at the end.

你介意嗎？

是的，最後那位。

OK, give them a round of applause as they come up.

好，他們上台時請給予熱烈的掌聲。

You might want to use the stairs, there.

你可以爬樓梯上來，那裡。

(Applause)

（熱烈鼓掌）

It's very important for everybody here to realize

現在，讓在場的每一位了解這很重要

I haven't set anything up with you.

你們身上並沒有任何裝備。

You don't know what will happen, right?

你們並不知道再來要做什麼。同意嗎？

好，請你站在這邊一會兒好嗎？

Would you mind just standing over here for a moment?

妳的名子是？

Your name is? Nicole: Nicole.

Nicole(妮可): 妮可。

KB: 妮可，以及？

KB: Nicole, and?

（手機正好在響）

(Telephone ringing)

KB: 好，喔。回答他，其實可以這樣，

KB: Actually, here's the thing, answer it, answer it, answer it.

接起來，接起來，接起來。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

Is it a girl? Man: They've already gone.

KB: 是個女孩嗎？

男人：電話掛了。

KB: OK, swap over positions.

KB: 喔，掛了，那好吧。

Can you stand over here? This will make it easier.

告訴你我們要做什麼，來位置換一下。

請你站過來這裡，這樣容易點。

Pity, I would have told them it was the ace of spades.

喔，那真可惜，我本來想告訴他們那是一張王牌。

OK, a little bit closer.

好，靠近一點。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

靠近一點。

OK, a little bit closer, come over -- they look really nervous up here.

（哄堂大笑）

好，靠近一點。過來…他們在台上看起來很緊張。

Do you believe in witchcraft?

過來…靠近一點。

好，你相信巫術嗎？

Nicole: No.

Nicole：不信

KB: Voodoo? Nicole: No.

KB: 巫毒？

KB: Things that go bump in the night? Nicole: No.

Nicole：不信

KB: 晚上突然冒出來的玩意兒？

KB: Besides, who's next, no, OK.

Nicole：不信。

KB: 除此以外，有其他人嗎？沒有，好。

I want you to just stand exactly like this for me,

我要你像這樣站好，

pull up your sleeves, if you don't mind.

把袖子捲起來，如果你不介意。

OK, now, I want you to be aware

好，現在，我要你用心覺察

of all the different sensations around you,

你周圍所有感官的變化，

because we'll try a voodoo experiment.

因為我們現再要做一項巫毒試驗。

I want you to be aware of the sensations, but don't say anything until I ask you,

我要你儘可能注意你的感官，

但是什麼也別說直到我問你，

and don't open your eyes until I ask you.

也別張開眼睛直到我說可以。

From this point onwards, close your eyes,

在這之前，請閉起妳的眼睛，

do not say anything, do not open them,

不要說話，也不要睜眼，

be aware of the sensations.

注意你的感官意識。

Yes or no, did you feel anything?

可以嗎？你有沒有任何感覺？

KB: 你有感覺到？什麼樣的感覺？

Nicole：我的背有被碰到的感覺。

Nicole: A touch on my back.

KB: How many times did you feel it?

KB: 被碰幾次？

Nicole：2次。

Nicole: Twice.

KB: Twice. OK, extend your left arm out in front of you.

KB：2次。很好，請往前伸展你的左手臂。

伸展你的左手臂，好。

Extend your left arm, OK.

OK, keep it there.

好，保持這個動作

注意你的感官，不要說話，也別張開眼睛，好。

Did you feel anything, there?

你有沒有任何感覺？

Nicole: Yes. KB: What did you feel?

Nicole：有。

Nicole: Three --

Nicole：3次...

KB: Like a tickling sensation? Nicole: Yes.

KB: 類似搔癢的感覺？

Nicole：是的。

KB: Can you show us where?

KB: 你可以讓我們知道在哪個位置嗎？

OK, excellent. Open your eyes.

好，很好。張開眼睛。

I never touched you.

我從未碰你。

I just touched his back, and I just touched his arm.

我碰的是他的背和他的手臂。

A voodoo experiment.

一項巫毒試驗

（哄堂大笑）

(Laughter)

Yeah, I walk around nightclubs all night like this.

是的，我在夜店走動整晚都有這感覺。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

You just take a seat over here for a second.

請坐到那個位子等一下。

I'm going to use you again, in a moment.

我待會兒還要用你。

Can you take a seat right over here, if you don't mind.

可以的話，請你到這裡坐下來。

Sit right here. Man: OK.

Now, what I want you to do is look directly at me, OK,

現在，我要你注意看著我，好，

just take a deep breath in through your nose,

以鼻腔深吸一口空氣，

letting it out through your mouth, and relax.

再由嘴巴吐氣，然後放鬆。

Allow your eyes to close, on five, four, three, two, one.

任由你的眼睛閉上，

開始5,4,3,2,1…

Close your eyes right now.

現在閉上你的眼睛。

OK, now, I'm not hypnotizing you,

好，我現在不是在對你催眠，

I'm merely placing you in a heightened state of synchronicity,

我只是將你的精神層次提高到與我同步的位置。

如此你我的思維可以在同一個範圍中。

so our minds are along the same lines.

And as you sink and drift and float into this relaxed state of mind,

你開始下沉然後漂流再上昇

進入這個放鬆的思維空間，

I'm going to take your left hand, and just place it up here.

我會將你的左手提上來大約到這裡。

I want you to hold it there just for a moment,

請你停在那裡一會兒，

and I only want you to allow your hand

我只要你讓你的手

to sink and drift and float back to the tabletop

下沉及漂流及上昇再回到桌面

at the same rate and speed

以相同的速率

as you drift and float into this relaxed state of awareness,

這飄昇讓你感受到放鬆的狀態，

and allow it to go all the way down to the tabletop.

而且容許它直接下來到桌面。

That's it, all the way down, all the way down.

就這樣，放下來，

放下來，放下來，

and further, and further.

再來，再來，再來，

再來，再來，再來。

Excellent.

I want you to allow your hand to stick firmly to the tabletop.

很好。

請讓你的手固定在桌上。

OK, now, allow it to stay there.

OK, now, in a moment, you'll feel a certain pressure, OK,

好，現在，過一會兒，你會感到一股明顯的壓力，好，

and I want you to be aware of the pressure.

而我要你注意這股壓力。

專心感覺這股壓力。

Just be aware of the pressure.

你只要任由你的手

And I only want you to allow your hand

輕輕飄回桌面當你不再感到有壓力，

to float slowly back up from the tabletop as you feel the pressure release,

只有在你感到壓力被釋放後。

but only when you feel the pressure release.

明白嗎？你只要回答是或不是

Do you understand? Just answer yes or no.

你明白嗎？

Man: Yes.

男人：是。

KB: 保持在那兒。

KB: Hold it right there.

And only when you feel the pressure go back,

好，當你再感覺到有壓力時，

allow your hand to drift back to the tabletop,

才讓你的手沉回到桌面，

只有在你感覺到力量時。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

OK, that was wonderfully done. Let's try it again.

好，表演的太精彩了，讓我們再試一次。

Excellent. Now that you've got the idea, let's try something even more interesting.

太棒了！你現在知道該怎麼做了。

只有在妳想釋放那壓力時，

make an upward gesture, like this,

做一個像上台起的姿勢，像這樣，

but only when you want it to be released.

而只有在妳願意釋放那股壓力時。

You can wait as long as you want,

妳想等多久都可以

but only when you want the pressure released.

但是只有在妳希望那股壓力被釋放。

OK, let's try it again.

好，我們再試試。

OK, now, imagine the connection, OK.

好，開始想像那連結，好。

Point directly at his forehead.

指向他的前額。

Only when you want the pressure released, we'll try it again.

只有在妳希望那股壓力被釋放，我們再試一次。

OK, it worked that time, excellent.

好，他當時行得通，很好。

And hold it there, both of you.

就保持在那兒，就醬，2位，就醬，

Only when you want the pressure to go back, make a downward gesture.

只有當妳想再加壓時，做向下的手勢。

You can wait as long as you want.

妳想等多久都可以。

You did it pretty quickly, but it went down, OK.

妳速度很快，不過正往下，好。

Now, I want you to be aware that in a moment,

線在我要你專注在那兒一會兒，

when I snap my fingers, your eyes will open, again.

當我彈手指時，你就張開眼睛，再來。

It's OK to remember to forget, or forget to remember what happened.

要記得要忘記都可以，或是忘記剛發生的一切。

Most people ask you, "What the hell just happened up here?"

不管多少人問起你剛剛在這裡所發生的事？

But it's OK that even though you're not hypnotized,

你會忘記發生的一切。

you will forget everything that happened.

（哄堂大笑）

On five, four, three, two, one -- open your eyes, wide awake.

5、4、3、2、1...張開眼睛，醒過來。

Give them a round of applause, as they go back to their seats.

在他們回座位時，

請給予熱烈的掌聲。

(Applause)

（熱烈鼓掌）

OK, you can go back.

好了，請回座。

(Applause)

我曾經看過一部電影叫《上帝也瘋狂》。

I once saw a film called "The Gods Are Crazy."

Has anybody here seen that film? Yeah.

有人看過這部電影嗎？對，對，對。

（熱烈鼓掌）

Remember when they threw the Coke out of the airplane,

你還記得當他們將可樂瓶丟出飛機外，

and it landed on the ground, and it didn't break?

他掉在地面而且並沒有破掉。

你們知道，那是因為可樂瓶很堅硬。

Now, see, that's because Coke bottles are solid.

要打破可樂瓶幾乎是不可能的

It's nearly impossible to break a Coke bottle.

你想試試看嗎？

Do you want to try it?

做得好。

Good job. She's not taking any chances.

（哄堂大笑）

(Laughter)

她直接放棄了。

You see, psychokinesis is the paranormal influence

你看，相信的力量對身體產生

of the mind on physical events and processes.

超自然的影響力。

For some magicians or mentalists,

對於一些魔術師或超感應異能者

sometimes the spoon will bend or melt, sometimes it will not.

有時候能彎曲或融化湯匙，有時不行。

Sometimes the object will slide across the table, sometimes it will not.

有時候物體會滑過桌面，有時不行。

It depends on how much energy you have that day,

那要取決於你所擁有的能量，

so on and so forth.

大概就是這樣。

我們現在要來做一項意志力的實驗。

We're going to try an experiment in psychokinesis, right now.

請過來站在我旁邊。

Come right over here, next to me. Excellent.

太好了！

現在，看著可樂瓶。

Now, have a look at the Coke bottle.

Make sure it is solid, there's only one hole, and it's a normal Coke bottle.

確定一下他是堅硬的，它只有一個開口，是個一般的可樂瓶。

如果你要的話，你可以拿她用力在桌上敲。

And you can whack it against the table, if you want; be careful.

小心！

Even though it's solid, I'm standing away.

它非常的堅硬，我還是站遠一點好。

I want you to pinch right here with two fingers and your thumb.

好，請用三隻手指頭捏住這裡。

Excellent. Now, I've got a shard of glass here, OK.

太好了！

現在，我拿著一片尖銳的玻璃，好。

I want you to examine the shard of glass.

我要你檢查一下這片尖銳的玻璃。

Careful, it's sharp. Just hold on to it for a moment.

小心！因為它很銳利

現在，抓著這裡。

Now, hold it out here.

I want you to imagine, right now, a broken relationship from many years ago.

現在請你想像一下，

多年前一段破碎的關係。

I want you to imagine all the negative energy

我要你想像所有的負面能量。

from that broken relationship, from that guy,

來自於那段破碎的關係，以及那個傢伙。

being imparted into the broken piece of glass,

將它傳送給那片碎玻璃

which will represent him, OK.

它將會代表他。

But I want you to take this very seriously.

不過我要你拿出非常嚴肅的態度

Stare at the glass, ignore everybody right here.

盯著玻璃，不要理會在場的人。

In a moment, you'll feel a certain sensation, OK,

不久你就會有所感應，好。

and when you feel that sensation,

當你感應到時，

I want you to drop the piece of glass into the bottle.

我要你將這片玻璃丟進瓶子裡。

Think of that guy, that ba -- that guy.

想著那傢伙，那個渾...那個傢伙，

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

I'm trying to be good here.

我很乖，真的。

OK, and when you feel the sensation --

好，當你有所感應...

it might take a while -- drop it into the glass.

可能要等一下...將它丟進玻璃瓶。

OK, drop it in.

好，丟進去。

Now, imagine all that negative energy in there.

現在，想像所有負面能量在裡面。

Imagine his name and imagine him inside the glass.

想著他和他的名子在瓶子裡。

And I want you to release that negative energy

我要你藉著兩邊搖晃

來釋放那些負面能量。

by shaking it from side to side.

(Burst)

（哄堂大笑）

(Laughter)

That was a lot of negative energy, built up in there.

這算是負面能量加強版。

(Laughter)

（哄堂大笑）

（熱烈鼓掌）

(Applause)

I also want you to look at me and think of his name.

我還要你也想一下他的名子。看著我想著他的名子。

有想著他的名子嗎？

OK, think of how many letters in the title of his name.

好，想著他的名子有幾個字母。

想一下

There's five letters in the title.

有5個字母。

You didn't react to that, so it's four letters.

沒有那麼多，所以是4個字母

Think of one of the letters in the title.

想著名子中的一個字母。

想著其中一個字母。

There's a K in his name, there is a K.

他的名子當中有一個字母K，有一個K。

I knew that because my name starts with a K also,

我怎麼知道，因為我的名子也是K開頭的，

but his name doesn't start with a K, it starts with an M.

但他的名字不是K開頭的，是M開頭的。

下次你見到Mike的時候替我問個好。

Tell Mike I said hello, the next time you see him.

Was that his name? Nicole: Mm-hmm.

這是他的名字嗎？

Nicole：嗯~嗯~

KB: OK, give her a round of applause.

KB：好了，請給她掌聲鼓勵。

(Applause)

（熱烈鼓掌）

Thank you.

謝謝你！
