Leo was a little surprised. He couldn't help but have some ideas when he heard these two names, but now was not the time to think about it. He had to finish the magic show first.
"Ben, there's no danger to this magic trick. I just need Peter to help me. I'll definitely give him back to you intact."
He nodded at the man and returned to the stage with the boy, ready to perform.
The stage had already been set up. Actually, there weren't many things. There were only two big boxes. The first door faced the audience, but the two boxes were very far away, about ten meters away.
'What are you doing? Hey, brother, have you seen this magic show?'
The audience was surprised. A man in black suit turned to his friend and asked, but he got a negative answer.
"Let me introduce you to my new assistant, Peter Parker. Lets welcome him, everyone."
Leo took Peter Parker's hand and introduced him to the audience, who applauded enthusiastically.
Peter Parker blushes a little. This was the first time he was being stared at by so many people. He was a little shy and nervous.
Leo gently squeezed Peter's little hand for comfort and told him not to be too nervous. Then he crouched down and said something in his ear. Peter nodded to show that he understood.
Leo started the magic show. The audience stared at the action on the stage without blinking, as if they would want to miss the exciting part.
On the stage, Leo first asked Peter to open both boxes for everyone to see clearly. There was nothing inside. Then he asked Peter to close the box on the right.
"Next, please ask my assistant Peter to tie my hands behind my back and my legs together."
After Leo said that to the audience, he turned around and put his hands behind his back. Little Peter took a rope and wrapped it around Leo's wrist several times, making a dead knot. Then, he also tied his legs together.
Leo struggled to show the audience that he couldn't break free, and then bounced into the box on the left. He turned around with difficulty and faced the audience. He said to Peter, "Peter, please close the box for me and count to three before you open it. Is that okay?"
"OK, I'll do as you say." The young Peter nodded and closed the box.
"Three! Two! One! " After Little Peter closed the box, he began to count down, and the audience followed suit, looking forward to what magical things would happen next.
After counting to one, Little Peter suddenly opened the closed box. It was empty.
"How is that possible?"
Little Peter couldn't help but cry out in surprise. He couldn't believe that such a good person had disappeared into thin air.
However, what the audience saw was another scene. Just as Little Peter opened the box, the door on the right side was opened. It turned out that Leo had knocked open the box door inside and jumped out step by step. The rope on his hands and legs didn't change and he was still tightly tied.
'Oh my god, how did he do that?'
'Unbelievable. He can actually go in from one box and come out from the other. He's ten meters away!'
'Don't forget that his hands and feet are still bound, and it only took him three seconds. It's unbelievable, amazing!'
Almost all the audience members were in disbelief, shocked at how he could do this, it was like magic. After a few seconds of shock, there was earth-shaking applause, and many audience members stood up excitedly and clapped their hands desperately, feeling that this was the only way to deserve such an unbelievable performance.
Leo stood like this for dozens of seconds, because the audience's applause didn't stop even after dozens of seconds. Of course, Leo wouldn't interrupt the excited audience. After another ten seconds, the audience's applause gradually died down, but their expressions were still unbelievable.
Seeing that the audience had gradually quieted down, Leo turned to Little Peter and said, 'Peter, please repeat what you just did.'
As he spoke, he jumped back into the box.
It wasn't until now that young Peter finally came back to his senses. He felt even more profound and incredible than the audience, because he was the one who closed the box and opened it himself. He didn't understand how Leo did it at all. When he heard Leo calling for him, he hurriedly ran over.
'I'll do it, Mr. Leo. That's unbelievable.'
After answering Leo's question, young Peter hurriedly closed the box.
"Three! Two! One!"
Young Peter continued to count down, but this time the audience did not follow the countdown, because when Peter ran over, the door of the box on the left side was not closed. He didn't notice, but the audience could see it very clearly. If the door was not closed, everything would be seen, so the audience stared closely at the open box on the stage, trying to see how Leo appeared in it.
The people backstage, on the other hand, had different thoughts. Uncle John, Barry, and Alice were sweating bullets for Leo. Although they didn't know how Leo had transported the last time, they knew that magic had tricks. If the audience found out, everything that had happened before would become worthless.
'What should we do? The door of the box isn't closed. If we continue, Mr. Leo's magic show will be a disaster. What should we do? Uncle John, hurry up and stop the show!'
Alice was very worried about Leo. His performance had been so spectacular earlier, and it would be a huge loss if he did make a mistake.
When Uncle John heard Alice, he wanted to go on stage and stop the performance without thinking. However, three seconds wasn't enough for anyone to do much. Before Uncle John could reach the stage, Peter had already counted to one and opened the box. Uncle John could only stop and think about what to do next.
…
The audience was staring at the open box, but as Little Peter counted to one, he didn't find Leo in the box. The audience couldn't help but wonder if the magic trick had failed.
Almost at the same time, the audience turned to look at the other box that Little Peter had just opened, but what surprised them was that there was no Leo inside. The audience scanned the stage and didn't find Leo.
"Here, Mr. Leo is here. Oh, my god! Unbelievable! How did he do that? Unbelievable!"
While most of the audience was looking for Leo, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out in the audience, filled with disbelief.
Ben Parker and May who were staring at little Peter on the stage had just seen the situation. They didn't want to see Leo's magic show fail, but they couldn't stop it. They could only watch and pray for Leo in their hearts.
At that moment, there was a sudden cry of alarm from several rows behind them. They all turned their heads to see what was going on.
However, when Ben Parker turned around, he saw that there was another person in the seat where young Peter had been sitting. That's right; this person was Leo, who had just performed a magic show. He smiled at him and said, 'Can you untie me? I can't escape even if I'm attacked by the audience right now.'
Leo's little joke caused the audience to roar with laughter.
In fact, when the door of the other box was closed, Leo noticed that it wasn't closed. Because of his mental strength, he could sense everything within a ten-meter radius around him very clearly. He could move through space with items he sensed.
So he could only spread it elsewhere, and in three seconds, the best place he could think of was where young Peter had just been. And at this time, all the audience's eyes were focused on the box on the stage, so no one noticed him at all, including Ben Parker and May next to him.
A few seconds later, an audience member in the backseat recognized the hat he was wearing and noticed him. He exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.
Naturally, there was no need to talk about what happened after that Leo's wonderful performance won over all the audience and earned a deafening applause. Leo's first performance was also completed perfectly.
At that moment, two men in black suits were talking below the stage.
'Hey, buddy, did you record everything?'
"Of course, are you worried about my photography skills? How about it? This magic show is much better than that award ceremony! If I hadn't pulled you over, how could you have seen such an exciting performance! It's already vacation, why are you still paying attention to that Stark!"
"It's wonderful, but this Magician is a little strange. I don't know if I'll get another chance to see his performance!"
'Isn't that easy? I have a friend in the technical department. I can ask him to look up information on this magician.'
'Is that alright?'
'What's wrong? That's what we do! Nobody can do anything to us! I'll send him the video later!'
"Fine!"
One of them relented.
…
At that moment, in a casino not far from Leo's magic show, Tony Stark, a famous arms dealer, was rolling dice in front of a table surrounded by beautiful women.
