"If I hadn't entered that competition when I was 12, hadn't won, and hadn't gotten the encouragement of David Copperfield (despite not understanding English at the time, and thus not understanding a word he said), I doubt my passion for magic would've lasted this long," says Lu, still babyfaced despite being in his early 30s, of that turning point in his life.
「如果 12 歲那年沒有參加那場比賽，沒有得到冠軍，沒有大衛考柏菲的鼓勵（雖然當時的小劉謙根本聽不懂他說的英文），我對魔術的熱情不可能持續到今天。」年過 30 仍擁有一張娃娃臉的劉謙，緩緩訴說著當年那場影響他一生的比賽。
