Tricky

A waitress teaches Emma a magic trick involving a loop of string and a bottle opener

Here’s Emma, my Chinese teacher [on the right], being taught how to conjour a bottle opener through a loop of string.

The waitress at one of our local haunts knows plenty of card tricks and illusions, and usually only takes a little coaxing to show off her skills.

She works seven days a week, sleeps in one of the booths in the bar, and earns just 500元 a month [around £33.50], most of which will be sent back to her family in her hometown, an hour or so away from Běnxī.
