Focus Description:

How to make a coin disappear from the box, although you can hear it tinkling in it?

Focus secret:

You will need an oblong box with a sliding lid. It is 5 to 8 cm long and 2,5 cm high outside; inside, it has only 1,5 cm of depth, and the upper edge of the lid is flush with the bottom.

Focus Thunderbox

So, if you put a coin in a box and hold it obliquely to the hole, then the coin will fall by its own weight into the hand of the holder, and the conjurer will take possession of it without the knowledge of the spectator.

A piece of zinc is placed between the real and false bottom of the box, which, if the box is shaken from the side, moves and makes the sound of a coin being shaken in the box. But in the normal position it does not move and is released by pressure on a special part of the outer bottom in contact with the fingers.

Ordinary inspection of the box will reveal nothing but that its interior space is much smaller than its outer dimensions.

This box is used as follows: the magician asks one of the spectators to mark a coin and put it in the box, which he holds for that purpose, as indicated in the figure.

As soon as the coin is placed in the box, it will certainly fall into his hand. Transferring the box to his other hand and pressing the spring, he shakes it to show that the coin is still there.

Then, leaving the box on the table, he proceeds to resolve the trick by secretly placing the coin, which the audience believes is in the box, in another place in which he wants to see it, or make other necessary arrangements.

Having done this and indicating the place where the coin will be, he shakes the box again to show that it is still in the box. Then, saying "pass", he opens the box, which turns out to be empty and proves that the orders were carried out.

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. ... >>

Fountain Antenna 11.05.2011

In one of the laboratories of the US Navy, they are developing a new type of radio antenna - from sea water.

Since salt water is a good conductor, to turn it into an antenna, it is enough to throw a jet of water upwards, surrounding its base with a coil, to which signals from a radio transmitter are applied. For the short wave band, the height of the fountain should be 18-24 meters, and it can be adjusted for different frequencies by controlling the pump speed.

Unlike metal antennas, water antennas cannot be damaged by projectiles and are less visible to radar.
