So, I have a background in both technology and magic games. I also consider magicians' tricks to be interesting. Their tricks can achieve what technology cannot. But what happens when our current era's technology looks almost magical in nature? What happens if you can do this... (music)
Now, if this had happened a hundred years ago, it would have been considered levitation magic. Is it possible to perform tricks in a world where technology can create anything? Jump!
Now, if you know what the trick is, then where is the trick in that? With this, our imagination's queen surpasses our mental reasoning in strength, and it is easy for us to attribute human qualities to machines. These are quadcopters. But they are not just mechanical flying machines. These machines can analyze their surroundings and respond to everything I do. Algorithms allow these autonomous machines to fly simultaneously and in close swarms, aware of each other's existence as well as my presence among them.
Mathematics we might think is intelligence, and intelligence we might think are human qualities. Embodiment: This is the trick, a trick created by technology, and shaped in our imagination to become an intelligent flying robot, a machine that looks as if it is alive.

I think it's saying: Hello! Hello, friends! Come on. It's time to land. That's all. Thank you. (Applause)
Okay, guys. It's time to go back. All of you inside. Come on, guys, quickly, quickly. No pushing, there's room for everyone. Here you are, a little to the left, a little to the right. Come on, everyone. And... good job! (Cheering) Thank you. (Applause) Thank you. (Applause)
