Focus Description:

The magician makes the coin disappear from the scarf and finds it in the middle of an apple (orange, lemon).

Focus secret:

Prepare and hide your own metal ruble in one hand by sticking wax on one side of it. Form another tiny piece of wax into a small ball and press it to the bottom button of your vest so that you can always find it when you need it.

You should also have an ordinary table knife and a plate of oranges on hand. You start by asking the audience for a metal ruble and a handkerchief. You spread the scarf on the table so that its corners form a square with the corners of the table.

Then, standing at the table, you openly place the occupied coin, but essentially yours (smeared with wax on top), in the middle of the scarf, then you lay the corners one by one, starting with those closest to you so that each one lies 2,5 cm further coins, pressing them lightly while inserting.

Ask one of the spectators to come forward and make sure, by feeling the handkerchief, that the coin is really there.

Then invite the audience to examine the knife, and when they are convinced that there is no mechanism in it, also pass them a plate of oranges, asking the audience to choose any orange for the trick.

While they are doing this, your fingers find a small wax ball on the vest button, you press it to one side of the marked coin, which you still hold in your hand.

Having received the knife back from the public, press the coin to one side of its blade, towards the middle, and place the knife on the table; the coin will remain stuck to its underside. Then, grabbing the handkerchief and blowing on its center, quickly separate your hands.

Thus, you will have a corner in each hand, along with a substitute coin stuck to one of them (the one you pawned first), which will thus seem to disappear.

Show the handkerchief to the audience so that it can be seen that the coin has really disappeared and meanwhile get rid of the substitute coin by putting it in your pocket or other place.

Roll up your sleeves and show that your hands are empty. Then take a knife (being careful to hold it so that the coin is not visible to the audience) and cut the orange.

Cut it halfway with the point and then finish the cut by passing the entire blade through the hole thus made. The coin will remain between the two halves of the orange.

Wipe the coin with a handkerchief to clear it of any orange juice and remove any wax that may still remain on it, finally hand it over to the surprised spectator for verification.

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. ... >>

Color vision weakens towards the periphery 21.06.2020

It is often said: "out of the corner of my eye I noticed (noticed)", that is, I saw with peripheral vision. However, you should not trust the edge of your eye so much: with peripheral vision, we usually see the same thing as in front of us. (Although this does not mean that out of the corner of the eye it is generally impossible to notice anything.)

Another oddity of peripheral vision was found out by the staff of Dartmouth College and Amherst College. The strangeness concerns the perception of color. The researchers set up an experiment with volunteers who were immersed in virtual reality: they walked around some historical places, watched street performances, listened to an orchestra rehearsal, etc. In virtual reality, you could turn around and look at it as you like.

A sensor was built into the device that tracks the direction of gaze, and the researchers changed the color saturation of the picture so that only the area in the center of the gaze was fully colored. At the periphery, the colors faded and disappeared, so that the side picture sometimes became black and white. The subjects were then asked about what colors they saw and where they saw them - and it turned out that most (but not all) did not pay attention to the discoloration of the peripheral image. A third of the volunteers generally saw colors only in the most central zone, which accounted for only 5% of the entire field of view. In another version of the experiment, it was necessary to determine which color loses saturation at the periphery, and the results were similar - most did not notice the color weakening.

About 180 people participated in the study, and it is unlikely that all of them had the same feature that did not allow them to adequately perceive colors with peripheral vision. So, most likely, this is a common feature of human vision. What physiological mechanisms work here remains to be seen, although it can be assumed that insensitivity to "lateral colors" is due to the fact that the cone photoreceptors, which just distinguish colors, are grouped mainly in the center of the retina.
