Focus Description:

In this trick, the spectator divides a deck of cards into four piles, shuffles a bit, and at the end discovers that an ace lies on top of each pile. All you need is a deck of cards, a little preparation, and the secret of the trick.

Focus secret:

Although the spectator thinks he is drawing cards at random, he is actually placing aces on top of each pile. All the viewer has to do is follow your instructions.

Place four aces on top of the deck in advance. Don't let the spectator see that the aces are there.

Ask a spectator to divide the deck into four piles. You need to watch where the top of the deck with aces lies. For best effect, you can ask a spectator to split the deck by dropping cards into piles from the bottom of the deck. In this case, the pile of aces will be left or right, which will make the next steps more meaningful.

Ask a spectator to pick up one of the stacks without aces, remove the top three cards and put them in the bottom of the stack, then put one card from the top of the stack on all three remaining stacks.

Repeat with another pile without aces.

Repeat with the last pile without aces.

Now tell the spectator to do the same with the stack of aces. He will place the top three cards at the bottom of the pile and then place one card on each of the other piles. Now, if you turn over the top cards on each of the piles, they will all be aces.

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 ... >>

Human health miniscanner 26.05.2013

Scientists have developed a device that allows you to quickly scan all the vital parameters of the human body: just hold the device to your forehead for less than 10 seconds.

This device is similar to the tricorder from the science fiction series Star Trek, where a universal scanner made it possible to quickly determine the state of health. The device, called Scout, was developed by the American company Scanadu, based at the Research Center. Ames (NASA) in Mountain View, California. The Scout can track key body functions including temperature, heart rate and rhythm, blood oxygen levels and stress levels.

The Scout scanner is extremely compact - you can carry it in your pocket and quickly check the state of the body at the current time. This will allow you to control the consequences of, for example, physical exertion or quickly identify a life-threatening condition.

Scout developer Walter de Brouwer said that the idea for such a scanner came to his mind when his son was in the hospital and had to watch monitors that control his life parameters. The principle of operation of the Scout is the same as that of stationary medical devices, but unlike the equipment in the clinic, it has much smaller dimensions and can be synchronized with the user's smartphone. This allows you to keep statistics of observations and detect anomalies.

The Scout device can be used everywhere, even at home. This should increase the safety of people, such as those suffering from hypertension. While the technical details of the novelty are unknown, but it can already be reserved on the developer's website.
