performing the "7 Wonders" for Her Majesty.

But defied an edict to

stop the riots with your magic.

You think you could escape

by changing your name?

Stop wasting my time! Where's the scroll?

It's gone.

You just used it for the last trick

I won't give it up.

You know what tortures await you?

Severed tendons, broken kneecaps

amputated fingers...

Castration.

Devil, your parlor tricks won't work on me.

Let's see

when I drill your teeth.

Everything is an illusion, a dream.

When I wake up

everything will be fine.

Self-hypnosis?

I'll play along!

Father

I'm your daughter Yin.

They're hurting me

burning me, cutting me...

It hurts!

Save me

I'm sorry, my dear.

Father can't help you.

Where's the scroll?

I'll kill you.

Don't force me!

You won't until you get the "7 Wonders".

The rhythm of my clappers is slow

as people rush to and fro.

Warlords fight in endless war.

Coins don't have value any more.

It costs me eight catties...

to buy two noodle patties.

Grandpa.

Don't bother with these affairs.

Just sing and.

Ply our arts in a fair.

This place has so much to give.

Come and see.

Storytelling, singing, kung fu fighting.

Donkey, and picture show.

All kind of entertainment.

Illusions are sights to behold.

Enchanting both young and old.

Behind each performer.

A trick with flair.

Fish bowls, braziers

appear out of thin air.

Each performer has talent to spare.

To name the best would be unfair.

Brother, stop worrying.

There are many talents around.

If only we could find one.

Our business will definitely improve.

That's easier said than done.

"Lucky Wind" Tavern books

all the best acts.

We won't survive another week

at this rate!

Attention everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Come see the show!

If you can replicate our

"Magic Walnut" trick.

We'll give you 50 silver dollars!

Now, please welcome Master Chen

for a demonstration of this magic!

Thank you.

Bravo...

Everyone, watch closely

I figured it out, I can win this challenge.

Don't embarrass yourself, stay here!

Who wants to try... give it a try!

Don't be afraid.

May I?

Welcome.

Come and show me, sir.

Hi.

Please.

Look, there's water in the bowl!

A naughty pigeon.

Pigeon droppings!

He solved your trick. Pay him now!

- Pay up!

- Quiet!

Be reasonable.

He hasn't got the walnut yet, right?

That's right!

Bring back the walnut

make him pay!

Right?

Be patient!

The walnuts... are on Master Chen.

Impressive.

Pay up.

Yes...

Here you go.

Sorry, a reward is unnecessary.

In that case...

Who are you?

Where did you learn it?

I'm Chang Hsien

self-taught for fun!

Bravo!

Driver!

Bro, go get him!

Right, he can save our business!
