This wonderful story began in 1976, when Taiwanese-born Liu Qian was 7 years old, he came across a street magic show, which changed his life in an instant. From then on, he developed a keen interest in magic, and after buying his first prop, Liu Qian began a journey of self-education.
At the age of 12, he won the first prize in the "Taiwan Children's Magic Competition" with his outstanding performance and received the trophy from the international magician Copperfield. Magic is not only his hobby, but also a healing power, which has allowed him to find confidence and happiness.
However, Liu Qian's life was not all smooth sailing. After graduating, he tried a number of careers, but failed to do so. Eventually, he turned magic into a means of making a living, earning tips by performing at bars and competing in international competitions to raise his profile.
In 2000, Liu Qian rose to prominence in the variety show "Magic Star Gaozhao", and he gradually became popular by performing magic tricks on the street. However, with the instant popularity of the Spring Festival Gala performance, Liu Qian began to face unprecedented pressure and challenges.
The trend of revealing magic has made him questionable, and the audience has misunderstood his hardships and efforts. The pressure on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala also made him feel anxious, although he looked relaxed, his palms were covered with sweat.
After the Spring Festival Gala in 2009, Liu Qian's career gradually declined, rumors and doubts continued, but he met another "miracle" in his life during the trough - love. In 2015, he married Wang Xiyi, a girl from Beijing, and ushered in his own happy family.
However, the low point of his career is not over. A line controversy at the 2012 Spring Festival Gala caused him to leave the Spring Festival Gala for 6 years. "Magic Pot", which returned to the Spring Festival Gala in 2019, once again caused controversy, and the hand speed of unveiling the behind-the-scenes production ** also gave people a deeper understanding of Liu Qian's magic.
On social **, Liu Qian appeared with a new attitude to share his magic and life. He chose to stay away from the prosperity of the past and used the Internet to create a world for himself that belongs to magic lovers. He once again faced the audience, expressing his love in the way he liked, and was no longer swayed by the doubts of the outside world.
Perhaps, life is like a magic trick that needs to go through ups and downs, be uncovered and repackaged. 45-year-old Liu Qian chose to find a quiet land on the Internet, with magic as a companion, sharing the laughter of a family of four with his family, and sharing their own private paradise with fans.
This "Prince of Magic" is no longer bound by the expectations of the outside world, he interprets the wonder of magic in his own way, and spends every miraculous moment of life with his lover and fans. In the process, he may have found the truest "miracle" in his heart - that is, to be able to be himself and enjoy every moment of happiness.
