Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

Take a large fake goose in your left hand, pressing your palm against its body. Tell the audience that this is not an ordinary goose, but a special one. He is a clairvoyant!

Take a pencil and notepad with your right hand. Invite someone from the audience to think of any number. After that, insert a pencil into the goose's beak and, opening the notebook on a blank page, invite the "goose" to write this number. When the "goose" writes, ask the viewer what number he has in mind. The spectator calls it, and you turn your notebook with a written sheet towards the audience, and they see that the same figure is displayed there with a “goose” (Fig. a).

Focus Clairvoyant Goose

Turn the sheet over and ask someone in the audience to count the small coins in their wallet. After the person who wants to do this, insert the pencil into the goose's beak again. "Goose" writes a certain number in a notebook. After the viewer announces the amount of coins, you will once again show the sheet covered with "goose", the number on which will coincide with the named amount of coins of the viewer.

Focus secret:

An ordinary pin passes through the neck of a fake goose, coming out from below (Fig. b). It is needed in order to control its movements with the hand holding the goose.

The beak, slightly ajar, must have a hole through which the unsharpened end of the pencil can be inserted and pulled out, so that it does not inadvertently leave pencil marks in the notebook. The pencil should hold well in the beak.

The secret of this entertaining trick lies in the fact that at the right moment you yourself quietly write the required number in a notebook. Moreover, you write with your thumb, on which you put on an imitation of a fingertip with a nail in advance. The imitation is either a skin-colored celluloid dummy or a metal brace. You attach a piece of graphite to the center of the fake nail (see fig.). You cover your thumb with other fingers, which should be facing the audience.

During the demonstration of the trick, by controlling the head and neck of the goose, you draw a pencil on the paper only for clarity, as if the goose was really writing something. Then you move the notebook a little to the side, but keep holding it with the cover towards the audience, and ask what number the viewer has in mind. As you do so, you continue a distracting conversation about the extraordinary abilities of the goose. At this time, you yourself quietly print the named number in a notebook in large print with graphite attached to your thumb. All that remains is to skillfully (so that the audience does not notice the trick with your thumb) turn the notebook towards the audience and show the correct result written by "goose" even before their message.

Try to select questions for the audience such that the answer would consist of one, in extreme cases, two numbers or characters.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Video recorder filters ads 03.02.2002

The American company "Go-Video" has begun production of video recorders that eliminate advertising from recordings made from the air.

The DDV2110 VCR has two cassette slots. At the hour set on the timer, he records the program you are interested in on the first cassette. After the end of the recording, he rewinds the tape to the beginning and begins to scan it in search of commercials. Their signs are the dimming of the screen for a fraction of a second when switching to advertising and back, as well as the disappearance of the channel symbol in the corner of the frame.

In addition, the smart device focuses on the characteristic duration of advertising blocks - 15, 30 and 60 seconds. The first minute and the last two minutes of the program are not checked for advertisements: it is not customary to insert advertisements in them on American television.

Scanning an hourly recording takes about 15 minutes. After that, the VCR rewrites the transmission from the first cassette to the second, skipping all the commercials. As a rule, the device's guesses about what exactly needs to be cut out turn out to be correct.
