Jinn's number. The Secret of Focus
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues
Comments on the article
Focus Description:
In this trick, the Genie does math and predicts the hidden number. He does this very well, as you will now see.
Focus secret:
A.Write the number "1089" in advance in a cloud of smoke on the Jinn's card.
B. Cover it with a half card with an empty cloud of smoke and tie the deck with a rubber band.
1. Invite the viewer to put the initials on the lamp.
2. In a masterful move, remove the card with the initials (actually the card with the number "1089") from the deck and place it face down on the table.
3. Place a notepad on the table and a pen next to it.
4. Tell the spectator: “I want you to write a number with three different digits, any number from one hundred to one thousand, but do not show me this number.” Let's say the viewer writes: "318".
5. You continue: “Now write the numbers in reverse order and subtract the smaller number from the larger one.”
Ask the viewer to leave a zero in front of the number if the resulting number is less than a hundred, so that he is still dealing with a three-digit number.
6. Once he has subtracted, you state: “Now write the result below in reverse order.” Once the result is written down, you ask to add all three numbers together to get the total.
7. The spectator should then circle the total and place the notepad next to the Genie card.
8. Explain that you will summon an invisible Genie to check the viewer's arithmetic calculations. Take the Genie card from the table and place it face down on the notepad. Then pretend that you are catching the Genie in the air, catching it and placing it between the notebook and the card.
9. After a pause, ask the spectator to turn over the card. He turns it over and, to his amazement, sees that the Genie shows the same number that he got - 1089.
Whatever the starting number, the sum after doing this is always 1089, except in the case of numbers with the same digits, such as 333 or 555. That's why you ask to write a number with three different digits. In some cases, subtraction produces a two-digit number, such as 463 minus 364 before 99. That's why you ask for a leading zero for any number less than 100. By adding a zero and reading the number in reverse order, you get 990, and together you get the same 1089. If If the result turns out different, then just check your calculations and you will find that, in the end, the Genie was right.

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 ... >>
Random news from the Archive Cancer is preventable
25.09.2012
Of the approximately 315 new cases of cancer diagnosed each year in Britain, 135 could be prevented, at least in theory, according to doctors at Queen Mary University in London. A study of 18 types of tumors and 14 risk factors showed that the most dangerous factor is smoking, it is responsible for the disease in 19,4% of cases (both in men and women, since the number of smokers in England is the same among both sexes).
The second dangerous factor for men is the lack of vitamins and ballast substances (indigestible dietary fiber) in food (6,1%). In third place are working conditions (4,9%), followed by alcohol (4,6%). For women, along with smoking, being overweight is the most dangerous.
