Once you have a firm grasp of the throw distances and fixture capabilities and have made the choices of lighting areas and vectors, many Lighting Designers will begin populating the light plot with symbols representing the fixtures in the locations that they intend to use.  I often take one additional step first.  That step is to create a preliminary Magic Sheet or (sometimes called a Cheat Sheet).  The Magic Sheet is a representation of each area and lighting axis and serves during the cuing and technical rehearsal process as a very quick way to access all of the channel numbers for each area and axis.  Many designers don’t create the Magic Sheet until immediately before they need it in the auditorium, but I find it useful in organizing the channel setup.

这里有两个基本的格式，一个魔术表可以在我的经验。图形的方法如下所示。它由用箭头指示的光束的轴线，并对应于该控制从示出轴并进入识别区域的光的信道数安排的舞台照明区域的图形表示的。这是由函数或轴分组如下所示：
There are two basic formats that a Magic Sheet can take in my experience.  The Graphic method is shown below.  It consists of a graphical representation of the lighting areas of the stage organized with arrows indicating the axis of the light beam, and a number corresponding to the channel that controls light from the illustrated axis and into the identified areas.  These are grouped by function or axis as indicated below:

上面的2个页面布局方案为，从照明关键的8长轴分配信道，以每件乐器。他们现在还包括颜色数，虽然这不是绝对必要在这个阶段。设计师的颜色的选择将部分经验，部分实验和部分本能。设计师的首选色彩，为给定的项目也将是相对的概念问题以及考证参考实际的考虑和设置，服装和肤色铸色彩。
The 2 pages above lay out a scheme for assigning channels to each instrument from the 8 major axis from the Lighting Key.  They also now include color numbers, though this is not strictly necessary at this stage.   The designer’s choice of color will be partially experiential, partially experimental and partially instinctual.  The designer’s choice of colors for a given project will also be relative to conceptual matters as well as practical considerations of textual reference and colors of settings, costumes and cast complexion.

要完成图形魔术片（S）为这个生产，我们也应做出的吊灯效果 和激励光，背景照明，特价和可能需要的任何附带的光色和角度决定。下面是第三层：
To finish the graphical magic sheet(s) for this production, one also has to make decisions on color and angle of the chandelier effect and motivational light, the backdrop illumination, specials  and any incidental light that might be needed.  Below is that third sheet:
