Five blind people with special skills are playing cards. Jiang Yuejun

　　Others don’t let their opponents see the cards when they play cards, but they don’t: some of the cards in their hands are facing up and some are facing down, and they always tilt their heads and lean sideways when playing cards, and their hands are constantly pinching the cards, while they are "listening" with rapt attention … This is the scene that the reporter saw five blind people playing cards in Fangjia, Yang Qiu, a villager in Hanyangwang Village, Danyang City yesterday. Yang Qiufang, a blind man, told reporters that they all play cards by "touching" with their hands, "listening" with their ears and "remembering" with their hearts, but the most important thing is to trust each other and never cheat. It is because of this honesty that five blind people get great happiness from it.

　　Special skills are more magical than magic.

　　"Blind people can’t see, how can they play cards?" With curiosity, the reporter came to the home of Yang Qiufang, a blind man in Hanyangwang Village, Houxiang Town, Danyang yesterday morning. As soon as he entered the door, he saw five blind people sitting around playing "four hits one (a local poker game)".

　　The reporter saw at the scene that in order to ensure the speed, a villager was responsible for licensing them, and five blind people were in no hurry, touching them one by one and holding them in their hands. The reporter found that when they got the card, the thumbs of the five blind people touched the top of the card, and then they were sandwiched between five fingers according to the number and color, and the card was smooth, and the speed was not much slower than that of the healthy people.

　　"Three’ 4′ band pairs’ 6′!" A blind man in his 50 s sitting by the door played cards, and another blind man sitting below immediately drew five cards and said, "Three’ K’ s are paired with’ 3’"; "Bomb, four’ 7′!" The blind man by the door brushed the ground and threw out four cards … Although the five blind people couldn’t see the cards thrown out by the other side, they were very quick-witted, and played with relish with the particularly loud shouting. It’s hard to imagine that they couldn’t see at all if they weren’t at the scene.

　　The reporter was puzzled. After obtaining the consent of 76-year-old Ge Yunliang, the reporter took the cards in his hand. The scene in front of him shocked the reporter. The cards were arranged in order of size, and the cards of the same color were neatly put together, which was not chaotic at all. Its magic is comparable to Liu Qian’s magic.

　　A new deck of cards can be mastered in three days.

　　The reporter also touched it with his fingers, feeling that the numbers and colors on the card were not concave and convex at all, not Braille cards, and he couldn’t feel it when he touched it. Closing his eyes was more like touching a piece of paper. How do these five completely blind people "recognize cards"? On what basis can you make a judgment quickly?

　　The reporter asked what the trick was, and they said, tell you, you can’t touch it. Don’t say that you are a normal person, even other blind people can’t touch it. The reporter observed at the scene that with the "deepening" of the game, these blind people gradually got excited, and the speed of playing cards was obviously faster, and occasionally they made mistakes. For example, if you shout "a pair of twos", the cards issued are a two and a three, and the dealer and spectators will remind them in time.

　　In order to verify the skills of five blind people to touch and read cards again, the reporter specially bought a deck of ordinary poker in the supermarket and took it out for them to change cards. Unexpectedly, several people went on as usual, and it was basically accurate. Yang Qiufang also told reporters that this pair of poker bought by reporters is the third-generation "Three Guns" brand, which is more difficult to touch than the first and second generations, because compared with the first and second generations, paper and printing are different, although ordinary people can’t feel it, but in fact there are still very subtle differences in their hands. The numbers and colors on the first and second generations are still slightly concave and convex, while the three generations feel smoother. But as long as you give him three days, they will soon be proficient.

　　Why did you practice this trick?

　　Ink handwriting can be felt.

　　Yang Qiufang, a blind man, told reporters that there are many blind friends around him, but only five of them can play cards, because several of them often study and ponder together, and other blind people don’t have the patience. Of course, this also requires some talent. He told reporters that the youngest of them is only 46 years old. He was sick and blind when he was in high school. He is very smart and can find out the colors in a short time. He said that if normal people calm down and ponder hard, they should also feel this way. Although the concave and convex of the card is very subtle, there are ink marks after all. He told reporters that they can not only touch the cards, but also know the counterfeit money that the money detector can’t identify, and they can also touch the pen words written on the paper. It is said that practice makes perfect.

　　"I can feel what cards are in my hand, but what if others deliberately make mistakes?" When the reporter made this remark, Yang Qiu and his blind friends all laughed and repeatedly said, "We don’t play cards blindly. Although we can’t see it, we have to rely on our consciousness and trust to play cards. Otherwise, how can we fight? Besides, what happiness can we have if we cheat each other? We play cards by heart and play with heart. "

　　The reporter learned in the interview that these five blind people knew each other in their early years, and they have been playing cards together for more than ten years, and occasionally they will get a little reward. In the process of learning card art, "card friends" not only forged a deep friendship, but also enriched their lives. It’s amazing that five people who live completely in the dark can cross the visual barrier and enjoy playing poker together.
