Focus Description:

This trick consists in the fact that several small things taken directly from the spectators not only disappear from the hands of one of the spectators, but in some mysterious way end up on a tray covered with a cap and all the time in full view of the same spectators.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in a painted tin tray with a diameter of about 30 cm. Between its upper and lower surfaces there is a space 2 cm high, into which a hole 7,5 cm wide leads imperceptibly, under the cover of a curved rim. There are two wire hooks inside the hole.

Focus Mystery Tray

With a slight pull on one of the hooks, you raise a small hammer on the surface of the tray, which is lowered by itself under the action of a spring. If you pull another hook, then the same movement is communicated to a special spoon rising from the surface of the tray. This spoon has a flat lid, loosely attached to its outer edge so that it opens with the things in it.

If you put some thing in a spoon in advance and hold the appropriate hook, then this thing will end up on the tray by itself. On the opposite side of the lid of the spoon, a glass 7,5 cm high is placed on the tray, and the contents of the spoon fall directly into it.

The tray is used in the following way: the audience is given a tin box 4 cm long and 2,5 cm deep with a request to put some small objects (for example, a coin, a ring, a key) into it. You don't know what things are in the drawer. For greater security, you wrap the box in a handkerchief and hand it over to someone in the audience for safekeeping.

By wrapping the box, which is then handed over to the viewer, you actually replace it with the same box, sewn into one of the corners of the scarf. This second box contains two or three buttons or other objects that jingle when shaken. The replacement box is designed so that if you put on the lid and press a piece of cork inside, the ringing stops, but if you lift the lid a little, it starts again. In this state, the box is wrapped in a scarf.

Leaving the replacement box wrapped at the viewer, retire for a minute behind the tray. This will allow you to take things out of the drawer, memorize them (e.g. coin, ring, key) and put them in the spoon. Now take out the glass and tray along with a cardboard or cloth cap. Show everyone that you have nothing in your hands, there is nothing on the tray and in the glass. Then put the diarrhea on the table and cover everything with a cap. The assistant takes the tray from the table and holds it with both hands, but in such a way that the right hand owns both hooks.

Ask the viewer holding the box to shake it to show that things are still there:

“I don’t know what things you put in the drawer. He was not in my hands for a single minute and remained all the time with the one who holds him now. Here is a small glass (the assistant raises the cap with his left hand) - it is completely empty. Now I will order the things in the box to go into this glass, and then I will guess by the sound which thing is falling. So, first thing!

The assistant pulls the corresponding hook, and a small hammer strikes the glass, making a sound like a small thing falling into the glass.

- Judging by the sound, it must be a coin. Second thing! The assistant again strikes the glass with a hammer.

- It's a ring! Third thing!

This time, the assistant pulls the other hook, causing the spoon to rise and throw three things together into the glass.

- It's the key! Three things were placed in the box: a coin, a ring and a key. Now you will see that they are all in the glass.

Remove the cap and show that they are really in a glass.

- Can I ask you to shake the box again?

Since your frequent reminders to hold the box tight have caused the holder to press the lid, nothing else rings in the box, confirming that the things have disappeared.

- Now, by making things leave the box, I will also make the box itself disappear; and I will do it in front of everyone. Grasp one corner of the handkerchief. When I say "Three!", release the handkerchief.

On the count of three, shake the handkerchief, quickly pass it through your hands until the corner (with the box) is in your hand and, as it were, disappears.

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. ... >>

The next version of Firefox will be able to detect the orientation of the screen of a computer or laptop and pass this information to applications running in the browser.

Naturally, the new feature is not compatible with all devices, but only with those that already have a built-in accelerometer. So far, the main purpose of the game technology, in which the tilt of the laptop can be used to control in-game objects. This approach is widely used in smaller mobile devices such as the iPhone.

Initially, this function was just developed for the mobile version of the Mozilla Fennec browser, however, given the fact that some laptops (for example, MacBooks and ThinkPads) are also equipped with accelerometers, it was decided to transfer it to the regular version of Firefox.
