Focus Description:

Two illusion tables are symmetrically placed on the stage at a distance of one and a half - two meters. On each table is a colorful case in the form of a cylindrical cap:

Focus Moving bottle and glass

The magician approaches one of the tables, lifts the cap and shows the audience the bottle under the cap. Then, having covered the bottle with the same case, he goes to another table, lifts the cap and shows the audience that there is a glass under this case. The artist covers it with the same case, after which he asks the audience if everyone remembers well what is under the case on the first table and on the second. Viewers respond positively. Then the magician, smiling slyly, comes to the first table, lifts the case, and the audience sees that there is a glass instead of a bottle. The audience is perplexed. The artist goes to another table, lifts the case again - and here changes have taken place: instead of a glass, there is a bottle under the case.

The magician again approaches the first table and lifts the case - the bottle has returned to its place again. Approaching the second table, the magician shows that the glass is also in the old place.

Focus secret:

To demonstrate this trick, you will need two illusion tables. They should be small and graceful. They should be placed on the stage symmetrically at a distance of one and a half - two meters. One case is placed on each table. These boxes are very easy to make. To do this, you need to purchase sheet cardboard; if it is not there, then you can use ordinary cardboard boxes from shoes, etc. From cardboard, you need to glue two cylindrical tubes with a diameter and height slightly larger than a regular bottle. Bottoms are glued to the top of the tubes. It turns out two cases that can easily hide a bottle inside. These cases should be pasted over with a beautiful cloth or colored paper with a beautiful ornament.

In addition to the cases, you will need two bottles, the bottom of which must be cut off (the bottom of the bottles can be cut off at the glazier), and two glasses. Bottles and glasses must be exactly the same. Such bottles can be made from Whatman paper and decorated accordingly. Before the performance, the performer places a glass of red water on each table. Then he covers the glasses with bottles, and the bottles with cases:

After checking that everything is in order, the artist can start demonstrating the trick. He goes to the first table, picks up the case and shows the audience the bottle:

Then, closing the bottle with a case, he goes to the second table and, tightly clasping the case with his fingers, removes it along with the bottle. The audience sees that there is a glass of water under the case on the second table. When the magician does this a second time, he raises the case with the bottle on the first table and shows the audience a glass, and on the second table he raises only the case, and the audience sees the bottle:

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Acoustics Microlab H30BT with NFC support 31.01.2014

Microlab announced the release of the H30BT speaker system. In the description of the novelty, the manufacturer notes the strict design of wooden cases (MDF) and protective grills made of acoustic fabric, which are typical for Microlab products. An innovation in design was the placement of the loudspeaker enclosures on stands.

Another feature of the speaker system is the ability to connect to a source using both a wired analog input and wirelessly via Bluetooth. The device complies with the Bluetooth 4.0 specification and supports fast connection using NFC. To automatically connect the H30BT to an NFC-enabled mobile phone, just hold the phone close to the scanner on an active speaker.In an active speaker

To control the settings of volume levels, high and low frequencies, mechanical controls are placed on the side panel of the active loudspeaker.

The active speaker houses a 2 x 12 W (RMS) amplifier. Harmonic distortion, according to the manufacturer, does not exceed 0,5% (1 V, 1 kHz). The frequency range is 50 Hz - 20 kHz, the signal-to-noise ratio is at least 75 dB, the channel separation is at least 45 dB. Each speaker has a 0,7-inch high-frequency driver and a 3,5-inch driver, which is responsible for the reproduction of medium and low frequencies.

Product dimensions - 130 x 225 x 220 mm, weight - 4,3 kg.
