Good morning. So magic is an excellent way for staying ahead of the reality curve, to make possible today what science will make a reality tomorrow. As a cyber-magician, I combine elements of illusion and science to give us a feel of how future technologies might be experienced.
早安 想走在時代趨勢尖端 魔術是你們的絕佳選擇 讓未來科學能實現的 今天就能成真 身為網路魔術師 我的作法是 融合幻像和科學的元素 讓我們一窺未來科技 可能帶給你的體驗
You've probably all heard of Google's Project Glass. It's new technology. You look through them and the world you see is augmented with data: names of places, monuments, buildings, maybe one day even the names of the strangers that pass you on the street. So these are my illusion glasses. They're a little bigger. They're a prototype. And when you look through them, you get a glimpse into the mind of the cyber-illusionist.
你們或許都聽過 Google 的智能眼鏡 那是一種新科技 你帶上眼鏡看到的 是隨著實境資料增加而擴充的世界 地名 紀念地標 大樓的名稱 說不定哪天還能看到跟你擦身而過的路人的名字 這就是我的幻像眼鏡 這副大了一些 這是原型 戴上眼鏡 你們得以一瞥 網路幻像師的內心世界
Let me show you what I mean. All we need is a playing card. Any card will do. Like this. And let me mark it so we can recognize it when we see it again. All right. Very significant mark. And let's put it back into the deck, somewhere in the middle, and let's get started.
我來示範給你們看 我們只需要一付牌 任何撲克牌都行 像這樣 我在上面做個記號 這樣待會才認得出來 好了 很明顯的記號 然後我們把它插回撲克牌裡面 大概在中間 然後我們就開始吧

Voice: System ready. Acquiring image.
電腦:系統待命 影像擷取中
Marco Tempest: For those of you who don't play cards, a deck of cards is made up of four different suits: hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades. The cards are amongst the oldest of symbols, and have been interpreted in many different ways. Now, some say that the four suits represent the four seasons. There's spring, summer, autumn and â
跟你們這些不會玩牌的人解釋一下 一付牌裡面有四種花色 紅心 梅花 方塊 黑桃 撲克牌是最古老的符號之一 人們對這些符號有許多不同的解釋 好 有些人說這四種花色 代表四個季節 春天 夏天 秋天 還有...
Voice: My favorite season is winter.MT: Well yeah, mine too. Winter is like magic. It's a time of change, when warmth turns to cold, water turns to snow, and then it all disappears. There are 13 cards in each suit. (Music)
電腦:我最喜歡冬天了 馬可:是啊 我也是 冬天一如魔術 是改變的時節 溫暖轉寒冷 清水變白雪 然後通通消失無踪 每種花色有十三張牌(音樂)
Voice: Each card represents a phase of the 13 lunar cycles.
電腦:每張牌代表月亮13個週期的每個階段
MT: So over here is low tide, and over here is high tide, and in the middle is the moon.
所以這裡是低潮 然後這裡是高潮 然後中間是月亮
Voice: The moon is one of the most potent symbols of magic.
電腦:月亮是最強大的魔法象徵之一
MT: There are two colors in a deck of cards. There is the color red and the color black, representing the constant change from day to night.
一副牌裡面有兩種顏色 有紅色 還有黑色 代表的是變化無常 永不停歇
Voice: Marco, I did not know you could do that. (Laughter)
電腦:馬可 我不知道你還會這招耶(笑聲)
MT: And is it a coincidence that there are 52 cards in a deck of cards, just as there are 52 weeks in a year?
馬可:一副牌是52張 真巧 一年不是剛好有52週嗎?
(Music)
(音樂)
Voice: If you total all the spots on a deck of cards, the result is 365.
電腦:如果你把牌上的數字通通加起來 結果會是365
MT: Oh, 365, the number of days in a year, the number of days between each birthday. Make a wish. (Blowing noise)
馬可:哦 365 一年的總天數 每年生日之間 相隔的天數 許個願吧 (吹氣)
Voice: Don't tell, or it won't come true.
電腦:別說出來 不然不會實現喔
MT: Well, as a matter of fact, it was on my sixth birthday that I received my first deck of cards, and ever since that day, I have traveled around the world performing magic for boys and girls, men and women, husbands and wives, even kings and queens. (Applause)
MT:其實 我是在六歲生日時 收到了我的第一副撲克牌 從此之後 我周遊世界 表演魔術給男孩和女孩看 給男人和女人 丈夫和妻子看 甚至給國王和皇后看(掌聲)
Voice: And who are these?MT: Ah, mischief-makers. Watch. Wake up.
電腦:那些人是誰 ? 馬可:呃...愛惡作劇的人 你看 醒來吧
Joker: Whoa.MT: Are you ready for your party piece?
小丑:哇 馬可:你的把戲準備好了嗎?
Joker: Ready!MT: Let me see what you've got.
小丑:好了 馬可:讓我看看你的本事
Joker: Presenting my pogo stick.MT: Ah. Watch out.
小丑:為你們表演彈簧高蹺 馬可:小心點啊
Joker: Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh! (Music)
小丑:喔 喔 喔 喔 哎呀 (音樂)
MT: But today, I am performing for a different kind of audience. I'm performing for you.
馬可:但是今天看我表演的觀眾不一樣 我的觀眾是你們
Voice: Signed card detected.MT: Well, sometimes people ask me how do you become a magician? Is it a 9-to-5 job? Of course not! You've got to practice 24/7. I don't literally mean 24 hours, seven days a week. 24/7 is a little bit of an exaggeration, but it does take practice. Now, some people will say, well, magic, that must be the work of some evil supernatural force. (Laughter) (Applause)
電腦:偵測到做記號的牌 馬可:有時候會有人問我 你怎麼會當魔術師 這工作是朝九晚五嗎? 當然不是 你時時刻刻都需要練習 我不是說一週練7天 一天練24小時 說時時刻刻有一點誇張 但是練習是必須的 好 有些人會說 魔術 那一定是靠某種邪惡的 超自然能力(笑聲)(掌聲)
(Music)
(音樂)
Whoa. Well, to this, I just say, no no. Actually, in German, it's nein nein. (Laughter) Magic isn't that intense. I have to warn you, though, if you ever play with someone who deals cards like this, don't play for money.
哇 對此 我的看法是 錯之極矣 其實 如果用德文說 是「nein nein」(笑聲) 玩魔術不用那麼緊張 但是我必須警告你們 如果你們和技術這麼好的人玩紙牌 絕對不要賭錢
(Music)
(音樂)
Voice: Why not? That's a very good hand. The odds of getting it are 4,165 to one.
電腦:為什麼不? 那可是一手好牌 拿這種牌的機率只有 4165之1啊
MT: Yeah, but I guess my hand is better. We beat the odds.
馬可:對啊 可是我想我的更厲害 我們打敗了機率
Voice: I think you got your birthday wish.MT: And that actually leaves me with the last, and most important card of all: the one with this very significant mark on it. And unlike anything else we've just seen, virtual or not.Voice: Signed card detected.
電腦:我覺得你的生日願望成真了 馬可:事實上 我留了最後 也是最重要的一張牌 上面有記號的那張 不像其他我們看過的 無論是虛擬或真實的 電腦:偵測到做記號的卡片了
Digital MT: This is without a question the real thing.
數位馬可:毫無疑問這是真的
