all remind me of the campfires of my childhood,

任何人都能在跳躍的火焰前成為講故事的人

when anyone could become a storyteller in front of the dancing flames.

when people and fire fell asleep almost in unison.

Now my story has a lot to do with dreaming,

although I'm known to make my dreams come true.

For an hour and a half I shared with the audience

如何追逐完美，如何欺騙不可能

how I pursue perfection, how I cheat the impossible.

“菲力浦，可以把這一生濃縮成18分鐘嗎？”

"Philippe, can you shrink this lifetime to 18 minutes?"

一個方法是說得像機關槍一樣快

One solution was to rehearse a machine gun delivery

in which every syllable, every second will have its importance

然後向上帝祈禱觀眾能跟上我的速度#￥&*@%……

and hope to God the audience will be able to follow me.

is to pay my respects to the gods of creativity.

請跟我一起默默享受接下來的一分鐘

So please join me for a minute of silence.

Okay, I cheated, it was a mere 20 seconds.

我拿到的聖誕禮物是一本魔術書

一本非常古老的介紹紙牌魔術的書

and a very old book on card manipulation.

Somehow I was more interested in pure manipulation

than in all the silly little tricks in the box.

我在書裡找到了其中最難的一項技法

So I looked in the book for the most difficult move,

Now I'm not supposed to share that with you,

不過你們看，紙牌被藏在手的背面

but I have to show you the card is hidden in the back of the hand.

我就能做完一、二、三、四、五、六、七

I'm able to do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

驕傲地問他：“你覺得怎樣？”

and proudly ask him, "Well what do you think?"

The magician looked at me and said, "This is a disaster.

你不能花上兩秒鐘(才完成動作)

and have a minuscule part of the card showing.

這個動作的專業標準是用時不到一秒鐘

For the move to be professional, it has to be less than one second

我可沒耍花招。牌在背面，非常完美

And I'm not cheating. It's in the back. It's perfect.

as a great way to acquire dexterity and coordination.

我一直很羡慕拋接雜耍演員的快速和流暢

Now I had long admired how fast and fluidly

就它了！我十四歲。我要成為一個拋接雜耍演員

So that's it. I'm 14; I'm becoming a juggler.

我認識一個拋接雜耍劇團的年輕演員

I befriend a young juggler in a juggling troupe,

在美國你需要解釋一下什麼是拋接棒

But in America you have to explain. What are clubs?

那個年輕雜耍演員故意躲著別人

somehow the young juggler was hiding from the others.

Well I didn't think much of it at the time.

不管怎樣，我用那套新拋接棒開始練習

Anyway, here I was progressing with my new clubs.

我能做得很快，但無法變得流暢

I was pretty fast, but I was not fluid at all.

棒子隨著每次拋出不斷脫出我的掌控

The clubs were escaping me at each throw.

And I was trying constantly to bring them back to me.

直到有一天我在Francis Brunn面前演練

Until one day I practiced in front of Francis Brunn,

最後他問：“可以給我看看嗎？”

These are rejects. They are completely out of alignment.

我參加了馬戲團，去看更多的魔術師，更多的拋接雜耍者

So I went to the circus to see more magicians, more jugglers,

and I saw -- oh no, no, no, I didn't see.

I heard about those amazing men and women

我整個童年階段都在玩繩子和攀爬

Now I have been playing with ropes and climbing all my childhood,

就它了！我十六歲。我要成為走鋼索者。

so that's it. I'm 16; I'm becoming a wire walker.
