序:For me the Zippo Trick adventurestarted as a result of general boredom. It was a weekend back in 1996 in Norway where I live and nothing funor interesting was happening. As an attempt to keep myself occupied I decidedto start a new website. Not just any site. I wanted to design the ultimateniche site ?a site with extremely limited relevance to people in general. SinceI have always been a fan of Zippo Lighter Tricks this seemed to be the idealtheme for my site. I launched the site that night not knowing that this wouldactually change my future and open up new possibilities and start many newfriendships.

I first got in touch with Xuli,or BFK as I first knew him, sometime in 2002. He was in fact my first encounterwith the Chinese trick scene. From our very first contact he struck me as atrickster with great visions and genuine interest for the trick concept. As ourfriendship evolved he introduced me to other Chinese tricksters. All of them representing incredible talent and ballsenough to think outside the box in order to invent new ground breaking tricks.Although the Chinese trick scene is fairly new, it bares great promise for thefuture and will play a vital role in taking the global tricks scene to the nextlevel. Xuli’s book and his enthusiasm and visions for the concept is a hugestep in the right direction and who knows, maybe one of these days Xuli andmine common dream will come through ?a Chinese version of Lightertricks.com!

时间追溯到1996年我在挪威的时候。在一个百无聊赖的周末,为了打发时间,我决定建立一个网站:一个最好的盈利网站,一个非常专业的网站。我一直都是个Zippo玩法迷,所以建立一个以Zippo玩法为主题的网站似乎是最理想的。那天晚上我开始动工的时候,根本没有想到这个初衷会改变我的未来,会为我赢得了更多的机会,结交了更多的朋友。

) K; y4 T' M5 ?我与徐利(BFK)的相识始于2002年的某天。他实际上是我认识的第一个中国打火机玩法领域里的人。我们最早接触的时候,我就被他对打火机玩法的独到见解和浓厚兴趣深深地打动了。随着我们的友谊渐渐深入,他向我介绍了其他一些中国Zippo玩法爱好者。他们除了有不可思议的天赋之外,更可贵的是他们能够冲破思维的定式,创造出新的玩法。Zippo玩法活动在中国刚刚起步,然而我深信你们必将是推动Zippo玩法发展到更高水平的重要力量!前途无量!徐利的新书《火影》,以及他对打火机玩法的见解和热情把它向那个方向推进迈了一大步,谁又能想象,有一天我和徐利共同的梦想——建立Lightertricks.com分站——实现时候的情景!( x m0 k& M!
