Focus Description:

At the request of the performer, one of the spectators enters the stage as an assistant. This is a completely foreign magician man. If the artist is assisted in demonstrating the trick by one of the spectators, then the audience naturally gains more confidence in the performer and the effect of the trick is enhanced.

So, having invited an assistant from among the audience to the stage, the artist asks him to tightly tie the thumbs of both hands with a bow:

Tie fingers is a simple matter. When the artist's fingers are securely tied with a strong and durable rope, he asks his assistant to take metal rings from the illusion table. Then, moving away from the assistant to the other end of the stage, the performer asks him to throw one ring at a time into his hands. The ring thrown by the assistant miraculously passes through the bound fingers of the performer in an instant and is put on like a bracelet on the right hand:

One by one, the assistant throws all five rings, and they, having overcome the barrier of closely connected fingers, are strung on the hand of the performer.

The thumbs of both hands of the artist are still tightly bound. Helper is confused. After all, this miracle happened before his eyes and he directly participated in the demonstration of the trick. At the request of the performer, the somewhat embarrassed assistant unties the rope with difficulty and frees the performer's fingers.

Focus secret:

All the props for this trick are five rings with a diameter of 20-25 cm and a small piece of rope. The secret is in the not quite usual position of the fingers at the time of their binding:

The performer, having folded his hands before letting his thumbs be tied, leaves the middle finger of his right hand inside between the palms in a bent position. Having done this, the artist can calmly allow the thumbs of both hands to be tied, but even in this position of the hands, it is, of course, impossible to skip the ring between the bound fingers. But the position of the connected fingers is easy to change and release one of them to allow the ring to pass. This is done in the following way. When the performer convinces the assistant and the audience that his fingers are tightly bound, he can go to the opposite corner of the stage (in relation to the auditorium, the artist should become the right side). At the time when the magician will give instructions to the assistant how to throw the rings, he must prepare his hands to receive the rings.

To free his hands, he needs to stretch up the fingers of both hands, which are facing each other with their palms:

The artist will immediately feel that his thumbs are somewhat looser. This was facilitated by the position of the middle finger of the right hand, which was located between the palms.

At the request of the performer, the assistant throws the ring. Almost simultaneously with this movement of the assistant, the performer turns the thumbs so that they are one above the other. The loop that binds the fingers becomes free, and this allows the artist to quickly release the right finger, skip the ring and put it on the right hand:

As soon as the ring passes through the "tied" fingers, the artist must quickly put the finger back into the loop. This movement must be done as many times as the assistant throws rings.

Focus requires a long training, because its execution requires impeccable cleanliness and dexterity of movements, without which success cannot be achieved.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Random news from the Archive Oxygen on Mars 23.06.2018 In recent years, more and more ideas for the colonization of Mars have been put forward. Experts from all over the Earth are puzzling over how a person could live comfortably on the Red Planet, grow plants ("and apple trees will bloom on Mars") and animals, have children and engage in scientific research. One of the most significant problems, of course, is the lack of oxygen on Mars, which we breathe. Obviously, taking enough of it from Earth is not an option. Scientists from the US unexpectedly found a potential solution to this issue. In their opinion, deep-sea cyanobacteria living in the oceans can probably cope with such a daunting task. Thanks to the process of photosynthesis, they are theoretically capable of absorbing carbon dioxide under extreme conditions for humans, releasing oxygen. The so-called blue-green algae are surprisingly resilient: they are found in Antarctica, in the incredibly hot Death Valley, and even on the outer skin of the International Space Station. Elmars Krausz, one of the authors of the study, says: "This may sound like pure science fiction to many of us, but large space agencies and some private companies are already interested in testing our idea in practice. In theory, bacterial photosynthesis is really capable of launch oxygen production on Mars."
