Focus Description:

The doll disappears into the magician's hands.

Focus secret:

The doll is a small painted and painted wooden figurine 10-12 cm high. She wears a small cloak - narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, similar to a skirt, with one hole for the head.

There are two secrets in the figurine and her cape, unknown to the audience. First, the doll's head is removed, a wooden hairpin forms a neck and fits tightly into the corresponding hole in the torso. Secondly, inside the cloak, just under the opening for the neck, there is a small pocket sewn in that is large enough to easily fit the doll's head.

Raising the figurine and presenting to the audience your "flying messenger" who will "overtake the telegraph", cover it with a cloak so that nothing but the head is visible. Grabbing the figurine under the cloak with your right hand, start having a comic conversation with it, entrusting it with a message that must be immediately conveyed to the president of a country or the Persian Shah. The figurine does not move.

-Why aren't you going? you ask. The figurine shakes its head from side to side: this is easy to do if you turn the torso back and forth under the cloak. - You don't want to? Why, I would like to know? I see what you're waiting for. I forgot to give you money for the trip.

Saying the last words, grab the figurine near the neck with your left hand and pull your right hand out from under the cloak, quietly pulling out the torso with it, and immediately put your hand into your pocket, as if looking for money. Leave your torso in your pocket and pull out your hand as if it had a coin between your fingers.

- Here's your money! - Make a gesture as if you are giving away a coin. - You don't see the coins? - ask the audience. - But the fact is that I gave her a magic coin, because an ordinary one would interfere with its weight in the speed of travel. Well, my messenger, hurry up, you have nothing more to look forward to.

In the meantime, put your right hand under the cloak again and open the pocket "for receiving" the head with two fingers. While saying the last words, slightly push your head with the fingers of your left hand and put it in your pocket. It will seem to the audience that the figurine has suddenly disappeared. Shake the cape and turn it inside out to show that it is empty.

Try to grab it by the part in which there is a head, then you can freely show the cloak from all sides. Since the audience does not know that the figurine is divided into parts, they will be sure that it is too large to be held in hand.

If the audience wants the doll to appear again, then the head is again pushed through the hole in the cloak, and the hand from below supports its hairpin, which forms the neck. Thus, she can disappear and appear at any time.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

From rhubarb - not only compote 31.08.2001

Rhubarb, like many other members of the buckwheat family, contains tannins.

German experts suggested using an environmentally friendly extract of rhubarb roots instead of poisonous chromium salts when dressing leather. The harvest per hectare is enough to produce ten thousand pairs of shoes. Automotive firm "Audi" intends to test leather seats, processed in a new way.

In addition, the petioles of rhubarb leaves are suitable for the production of detergents. And, as you know, they make delicious compote, and all this without the slightest harm to the environment.
