Focus Description:

The magician takes out the cards chosen by the spectator from a certain place in the deck.

Focus secret:

Have three or four spectators choose from a card. When the cards are chosen, make a volt in such a way that both halves of the deck are facing each other with their faces.

The deck should not be divided equally. The top part should be about six cards long, so when you do a volt, you have to place your finger exactly under that many cards from the end.

Move the selected cards to the top of the deck by moving them and saying "pass" as each card is laid. Imperceptibly turn the deck over and, taking the top card, say, referring to the one who last returned his card:

"You see that your card has disappeared, as I told you. On what number, from one to ten, do you want it to appear again in the deck?"

Let's say the number is "six". You deal five cards from the end of the deck, which is now at the top, then, somewhat embarrassed, say: "I feel like I dealt two cards instead of one: let me count them."

This draws everyone's attention to the cards on the table and gives you the opportunity to turn the deck over again. You continue by counting the cards:

"We have five cards, the sixth should be your card. Would you like to name it?"

You place a card face down on the table and do not turn it over until it is called, which gives you the opportunity to turn the deck over again in order to continue the trick with the next card.

You must keep in mind that you should ask the spectators who have chosen cards in the reverse order of the order in which their cards were placed in the deck.

You must come up with witty excuses to divert the attention of the audience from the deck at the time when you need to turn it over; and as the chances of being caught increase with each repetition of this action of the operation, no more than three or four cards should be allowed to be chosen.

If you are afraid that you will not have enough cards to deal, you can always put some of the already dealt cards at the end of the deck, opposite to the one where the chosen cards are.

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 ... >>

Warming Arctic leads to frosty winter 03.10.2017

A new study by climatologists from Germany and the US indicates that the warming of the Arctic is leading to the destruction of winter cyclones that kept cold air at the pole, and therefore winters are only getting colder.

The paper says that the warming of the Arctic is rapidly increasing, due to which there is an accelerated melting of glaciers that previously covered most of the ocean, thereby isolating it from the sun's rays. When heated, the water heats the air and heat flows reach the stratosphere.

Despite the fact that the air is heated, the stratosphere remains very cold, especially in the circumpolar regions. This cold air during the winter is "closed" by strong winds, which form large-scale cyclones of polar vortices that rise into the stratosphere to a height of tens of kilometers, accumulating cold.

The authors of the new work conducted a study in which they found that the heat of the warming oceans causes the weakening of these eddies, which is why cold air collapses on the territory of Russia and Europe.

Climatologists are sure that it is because of this that frosty winters have recently occurred. Although global warming continues, it only lowers winter temperatures, for example, in Western Siberia, average winter temperatures are even lower than before.
