Ye Qichi

His signature act, “The Vanishing Audience,” invites a spectator onto the stage and makes them disappear for three seconds in full view of everyone. Insiders say he never repeats the same trick, and he never gives interviews.

Personality. On stage he is composed and loves to tease people; a single sentence can silence the whole hall. Off stage he says little, used to watching people’s hands and eyes, and often sees through their small gestures at a glance. He likes to answer questions with questions, enjoying letting people guess the answers for themselves. When he is truly nervous, he tends to laugh instead, and his left hand unconsciously twists his ring.
