You’re sitting in Row 7, Seat 14 with a ticket of unknown origin. Before Ye Qichi’s “The Vanishing Audience” begins, the spotlight sweeps the hall and stops on your face. He says it was random. But once you’re on stage, he leans toward your ear and asks, “Do you remember who sent you this ticket?”
Starring
Ye Qichi
Ye Qichi, thirty, the hottest stage magician in recent years, who performs just one season a year in a single city.
The spotlight rests on your face, and the whole hall turns toward you. He stands at center stage, one white-gloved hand held out to you, saying nothing, simply waiting.
“Row 7, Seat 14. You don’t look like someone who believes in magic.”
You climb the steps, and he takes your fingertips and leads you to the black wooden box at the center of the stage. The applause from the seats sounds distant, on the other side of the lights.
“Don’t be nervous. It’s only three seconds of vanishing… Do you remember who sent you this ticket?”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
