Focus Description:

The magician lays out the conceived word with cards.

Focus secret:

To demonstrate, you need a book containing at least 100 pages, 78 rectangular cards measuring 12,5 x 7,5 cm each, a felt-tip pen, a pencil and an eraser. Prepare three cards for each letter of the alphabet. In the center of the card, use a felt-tip pen to write the appropriate capital letter.

Focus Need word

Now take one of the cards with the letter “Ъ” - it almost never appears twice in the same word. Using a pencil, carefully, barely noticeable, write down on it all the page numbers from the first to the 99th, and opposite each number - the first word on the corresponding page.

Arrange the cards in alphabetical order. Remember that the “Kommersant” card contains all the information you need. Tie the pack with an elastic band and put it in your pocket. Now you are ready to perform the trick.

Hand the book to one of the spectators, ask them to leaf through it and make sure that it is the most ordinary one, without “secrets”. Explain to the audience that to perform the trick you will need the help of three spectators and that from the numbers they named you will need to make a two-digit number from 10 to 99.

Ask two spectators to guess any number from 1 to 9. Let the third spectator choose which one will be the first digit of a two-digit number, and which one will be the second. The resulting number will determine the page of the book. Have the spectator to whom you give the book open it to the indicated page, remember the first word, and then mentally picture it. Warn that now you will try to mentally read the word that the viewer is thinking about.

Take the cards out of your pocket and explain that they will help you write the right word. Turn the cards face up and quickly go through them in front of the audience, trying to convince them that these are just cards with letters - and nothing more. Since your "special" card "b" is at the very end of the pack, try not to go to the very last cards. Ask the audience not to make noise or disturb your concentration.

Having sorted through the cards, first lay out on the table those with vowels written on them - A, E, I, O, U, E, Yu, Z. Meanwhile, quietly find the “Ъ” card with pencil marks and remember the desired word on the indicated page .

Ask the spectator helping you to concentrate even more, while you close your eyes and immerse yourself in “intense” thought. Slowly open your eyes and place in front of you the vowels that appear in that word. For example, if the word is "CROWN", choose the vowels O, O and A and put them in the correct order.

Keep looking for the missing letters. Deliberately making a mistake or two, which you then correct yourself, will convince viewers that you “really” read the viewer’s mind. In the end, the required word will be lined up on the table of cards.

Pretend that everything that happened testifies to your extraordinary abilities. Thank the spectators who helped with the trick, and hide the cards in your pocket.

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 ... >>

pocket camcorder 29.03.2002

The Japanese corporation Matsushita Electric introduced a multifunctional pocket video camera Panasonic SV-AV10. The device combines a video camera, a camera, a digital voice recorder, an audio player and a miniature printer. It is the printer, according to company representatives, that will help the SV-AV10 "stand out" in the digital video camera market.

The printer is really tiny - it measures 85x30x68 mm and weighs 185 g. It uses the principle of thermal printing. It takes 69 seconds to print one 38x70mm picture, and the battery capacity is enough to print 45 pictures.
