The programs of this competition are refreshing, both in terms of physical skills and artistic expression forms. One prominent phenomenon is that magic breaks through "showing off skills" and comedy not only for "laughing". It attempts to tell touching stories, shape unique character images, or draw inspiration from traditional culture or daily life, using high-tech to reflect emotions such as affection, love, ideals, and patriotism. It meets contemporary aesthetic needs, endows skills with emotional power, and triggers audience empathy and resonance.
