Focus Description:

The coin answers the magician's questions.

Focus secret:

The magician takes a coin and, having performed several magical actions on it, drops it into a glass on the table, where it immediately begins to bounce as if alive.

Then the magician declares that the coin thus magnetized has the ability to predict fate, name chosen cards, predict the number of points of thrown dice, etc.

The coin answers “yes” by jumping three times, “no” - once. First, the magician may have his own coin, to which is tied a long black silk, the other end of which is in the hand of an assistant backstage or somewhere else so that it is not visible to the audience.

This coin is placed on the table in advance, but is hidden from the audience by some large object placed in front of it. When the magician approaches the table with a coin received from the audience, he secretly picks up his prepared coin and drops the last one into the glass.

The assistant, quickly pulling the thread, makes the coin jump and causes the desired clink. You just need to pull the thread more carefully so as not to pull the coin out of the glass.

If possible, it is advisable to pass the thread either through the hole in the top of the table, or into a ring attached to the surface of the table and located directly behind the glass. This will hold the thread and thus it will be invisible.

Some magicians prefer to use directly the coin borrowed from the audience. In this case, the device is the same, but it is not a substitute coin that is tied to the silk, but simply a wax ball.

The magician invites the audience to examine the glass. Standing in front of the table, turning his left side to the audience, he raises the wax ball with his right hand at the very moment when, holding the busy coin in his left hand, he asks the audience to pay attention to the fact that he is actually using the busy coin, and not another.

Having said this, he transfers the coin in a completely natural movement to his right hand and, pressing the wax ball to it, lowers it into the glass.

The third and final way to perform this trick is to use a special glass with a hole drilled in the bottom. This glass is placed on a corresponding pedestal in which a steel needle moves up and down, forming part of a free piston on the top of the pedestal.

The top of the pedestal is covered with green paper, giving free passage to the needle, which, if pushed upward, strikes the coin from below, which produces the same effect as a thread pulled from above.

This pedestal is only suitable in conjunction with one of those mechanical tables, which will be discussed below. In such tables, in addition to other devices, there are so-called pistons, thin metal rods that are placed vertically above the surface of the table, and if you pull a special cord, they are lowered as soon as the cord is released freely.

The pedestal is placed directly on one of the table pistons, and the movement of the latter is communicated, in turn, to the free piston in the pedestal, and from there to the coin.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

artificial photosynthesis 02.07.2022

Scientists are developing artificial photosynthesis to make food production more energy efficient on Earth, and perhaps one day on Mars.

Researchers at the University of California at Riverside (USA) used a two-step electrocatalytic process to convert carbon dioxide, electricity and water into acetate, the form of the main ingredient in vinegar. Food-producing organisms consume acetate in the dark to grow.

"Through our approach, we sought to define a new way of producing food that could overcome the limitations of biological photosynthesis," said author Robert Ginkerson, assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering at the University of California, Riverside.

To bring all the components of the system together, the scientists optimized the power of the electrolyser to support the growth of food organisms. Electrolyzers are devices that use electricity to convert raw materials such as carbon dioxide into useful molecules and products. The amount of acetate produced has been increased and the amount of salt used has been reduced, resulting in the highest levels of acetate ever produced in an electrolytic cell to date.

Experiments have shown that a wide range of food organisms can be grown in the dark right at the exit of the electrolyser rich in acetate. Among these food organisms are green algae, yeast, and fungal mycelium, which produce fungi. Producing algae with this technology is about four times more energy efficient than growing it with biological photosynthesis. Yeast production has proven to be about 18 times more energy efficient than its conventional cultivation method, using sugar extracted from corn.
