Focus Description:

The artist enters the stage, holding an elegant empty glass in his hand (Fig. 1).

Focus Bottomless glass
Ris.1

He takes out a bright silk handkerchief from his pocket and covers his glass with it for a fraction of a second. When the magician removes the handkerchief, a "miracle" happens: the glass is no longer empty, but filled with a sparkling drink (Fig. 2), which the performer drinks with pleasure:

Ris.2

Emptying his glass, he covers it again with a handkerchief. And again, when the artist takes off his handkerchief, the glass is filled with life-giving moisture. The performer drinks it again, covers the glass, and it is filled again and again in the hand of the artist - the miracle worker.

Having done this several times, the performer bows and puts a miracle - a glass on an illusion table.

Focus secret:

The main props of this trick are a glass with a secret and a colored silk handkerchief measuring 25 x 25 cm. The glass must be made either with the help of a glass blower or from plexiglass yourself.

The secret of the glass is that on the side at the very bottom it has a hole that is led into a tube 1 cm long. A small rubber pear is placed on this tube, which can be easily hidden in a fist (Fig. 3).

Focus Bottomless glass
Ris.3

Before entering the stage, the artist takes a glass at the bottom, hiding the pear in his fist (the position of the fingers should be as follows: the thumb, index and middle fingers hold the glass, and the little and ring fingers surround the pear) (Fig. 4). The pear must be pre-filled with some kind of drink.

Focus Bottomless glass
Ris.4

Entering the stage, the artist takes out a colored handkerchief from his pocket with his free hand and covers his glass with it. At the moment when the glass is covered, the performer squeezes the pear with his little finger and ring fingers, and the liquid from the pear passes into the glass. Having removed the scarf, the performer shows the glass to the audience. Then he raises the glass to his mouth and pretends to drink its contents. In reality, he gradually releases the pear, and the liquid goes into it, emptying the glass. After doing this two or three times, the focus can be completed.

It is necessary to press and release the pear slowly, gently, without any tension, otherwise the liquid will foam, which will arouse suspicion among the audience.

Of course, the fingers hiding the pear should be facing the performer, and the back of the hand should be facing the audience.

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 ... >>
