Focus Description:

The main visual effect of this trick is the appearance of a disappeared glass of water in the pocket of the performer's jacket.

To complete the trick, the artist should show not only the disappearance of a glass of water (this is one of the variants of this trick), but also its appearance. This variant of the focus will have the greatest success with the audience and, therefore, will bring creative satisfaction to the performer.

So, the artist takes a glass, fills it with water and puts it on the illusion table. After that, he takes a handkerchief and shows it from all sides to the audience. There is no doubt - a scarf without secrets. Now the performer covers a glass of water with a handkerchief, lifts it, holding the edges of the glass (fingers are arranged in a circle) (Fig. 1).

Having thus carried a glass of water around the stage, the artist comes close to the auditorium and suddenly throws it high above his head (Fig. 2).

The glass mysteriously disappeared in front of the audience. The performer catches the tip of the handkerchief with which the glass was covered and puts it on the table. But what is the surprise of the audience when the artist suddenly extracts this very glass from the inner pocket of his jacket, filled to the brim with water.

Focus secret:

For the trick, you will need two completely identical glasses and a colorful scarf made of dense matter measuring 30 x 30 cm. One of the secrets of the trick lies in the scarf. In the middle of it, a ring of thin wire is sewn in with a diameter equal to the diameter of the edges of the glass.

The second secret of the trick is in the illusion table, where a sideboard is made, in which a glass of water should be hidden. And finally, the third secret is the second glass, which is filled to the brim with water and placed in advance in the side pocket of the magician's jacket. To prevent water from spilling out of this glass, you need to take a children's inflatable ball and pull it over the edges of the glass. It is very convenient and absolutely reliable (Fig. 3).

When all the props are prepared, you can start demonstrating the trick. Having filled a glass with water, the performer places it next to the sideboard. Then he shows the audience a handkerchief and covers the glass with it. Next to the glass, you must first put a small piece of sponge, abundantly moistened with water. When the artist takes the edge of the glass, he grabs this piece of sponge with his little finger and ring finger.

Taking a glass, the magician lowers it from under the handkerchief into the sideboard, leaving in his hand only a handkerchief with a ring, which gives the impression that there is a glass under the handkerchief (Fig. 4).

At that moment, when the artist approaches the audience, he must squeeze a piece of sponge between his fingers so that water flows out of it. Thanks to this, the audience will believe until the last minute that the performer is carrying a glass of water. The magician then tosses the handkerchief into the air, catches it, and places it on the table or in his pocket.

Now the artist only needs to take a glass of water out of his pocket. To do this, he, putting his hand in his pocket, removes the rubber lid from the glass, leaves it in his pocket and takes out a glass of water from there.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

If an electric vehicle is involved in an accident 23.04.2011

New skills will have to be mastered by American police and firefighters: what to do in the event of a car accident in which an electric car was involved.

Although there is no fire hazard in the event of a collision with such vehicles, since there is no gas tank, rescuers can receive a powerful electric shock from the batteries or suffer from spilled electrolyte. In addition, it is necessary to know the differences between the design of an electric car and a car with an internal combustion engine: where it is possible and where it is impossible to cut a twisted body. The point is also that in the case of a conventional car, you can determine whether the engine is running by sound, and electric motors are silent.

The National Firefighters Association of America has organized special courses to teach how to handle a crashed electric vehicle and injured passengers. In the coming years, this skill will become more and more relevant.
