Focus Description:

First option

You take a deck of cards and shuffle them. Then, without looking at the cards, holding the deck with two fingers, you throw half of the cards onto the illusion table.

You show the other half of the cards to the audience and ask them to remember the last card that they cannot see. Then you throw these cards on the table, and then ask one of the spectators to shuffle them, which the spectator does very willingly.

Taking the cards in your hands, you count them, put them in a deck and show the last card to the audience.

"Is this your card?" you ask.

"No," the audience replied.

Then, without looking at the deck, you draw a card, place it face down on the table, and ask the spectator to cover it with his palm.

Then count: "One, two, three!" - and, blowing into the deck, ask to open the card lying on the table, which the viewer is so diligently closing. The map is opened and shown to the audience. The audience ascertains that this is it.

Focus secret:

The deck of cards in this trick is the most ordinary, without any additional devices. The whole secret of focus lies in the ability to demonstrate it. This requires skill and ingenuity.

When you take a deck of cards from the table, you have a natural desire to shuffle the cards. At this point, you can have a conversation with the audience. Then, taking the pack with two fingers, you throw half of the cards on the table, showing the last card to the audience, and ask them if they can see the last card well for everyone.

"I repeat again," you say.

Take all the cards from the table and shuffle them. So that there are no suspicions, first shuffle, holding the cards to you with "shirts".

Then momentarily turn the cards "picture" to you, continuing to shuffle them, and at the same time remember the last card. Now you can safely start demonstrating focus.

Taking a deck of cards with the thumb and middle fingers of your right hand, hold firmly the lower part of the deck with the last card you know, and discard its upper part on the table. Show the last card left in your hand to the audience. They will remember it well, and then throw these cards on the table.

Then invite one of the spectators and ask him to carefully shuffle all the cards. Having taken the cards in your hands, shuffle them a little and then count, shifting one card from one hand to another. In fact, by sorting the cards in this way, you are looking for your last card. Having found it, again put the cards in a deck and leave this card in the second deck, and then immediately pull it out a little from under the first down.

Grasping the deck of cards halfway with the palm of your left hand, show the audience the first card. The reaction of the audience will be instant. They will definitely say that this card is not the one they remember, and they will think that the performer made a mistake and the trick failed.

Then you draw that second card prepared by you from the deck, place it face down on the table and ask the spectator to close it with his palm.

While the spectator holds it, you step back a little from the table and, raising a deck of cards, count to three. Then, blowing on the cards, invite the viewer to open the card lying on the table under his palm. Now it is she, without a doubt, which the audience is immediately convinced of for themselves.

Having finished demonstrating this trick, you can immediately proceed to another option.

The second option

The second option is shown with the same deck of cards and is, as it were, a continuation of the previous trick. The demonstration of the second option goes in the same sequence as the first. The slight difference is only in the last step of the demonstration. Having found the last card already known to you in the deck, put it in the deck second from the bottom, since in this case you will keep the deck face down. Having prepared the deck, put it on your left palm and start laying out the cards, like solitaire or just like four players.

Focus secret:

The layout is as follows: four cards are placed crosswise on the left side of the table and four cards are also placed on the right side of the table. Moreover, your card is included in one of the four laid out cards. It is best to put it in the top four, so as not to forget where it is. It should be laid out with the "shirt" towards you (up), pulling one card from the middle of the deck, from above, from below, so as not to arouse any suspicion. Lay out the card you know fourth in a row in the first four and remember its location (lower). Now lay out the second four on the right side of the table. Leave the rest of the cards in your hand. Then, blowing on them, invite the audience to check the remaining cards and say that their card is no longer in the deck, it is on the table. Spectators will check the cards given to them and make sure that this card is really not in the deck.

Now you will invite the audience to choose any four of cards - left or right - while deliberately omitting the words "take" or "leave". If the spectators immediately choose the left four, then you will perceive this as "leaving" and then take the four cards lying on the right side of the table.

Then ask: "Do you want two cards vertically or horizontally?" They will answer, let's say that vertically. Leave them on the table and take two cards horizontally. Now you say that one of the remaining cards is yours and ask: "Which do you want: top or bottom?" Spectators say, for example, the top.

You take the top card, toss it into the deck, and tell the spectators that the remaining bottom card is theirs. The volunteered spectator takes it from the table and shows it to everyone. This is indeed the same card that they remembered last.

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 ... >>

Prototype bionic eye 3D printed 02.09.2018

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota has 3D printed multiple light receptors on a hemispherical surface for the first time. This discovery marks a significant step towards the creation of a "bionic eye" that will one day help blind people see and sighted people see better.

The scientists started with a hemispherical glass dome to show how they could overcome the problem of printing electronics on a curved surface. Using their 3D printer, they started with a basic silver particle ink. The dispensed ink stayed in place and dried evenly rather than running down a curved surface. The researchers then used semiconductor polymer materials to print photodiodes that convert light into electricity. The whole process took about an hour.

According to experts, the next steps are to create a prototype with lighter, but more efficient receptors. The second challenge is to find a way to print on a soft hemispherical material that can be implanted in a real eye.
