Focus Description:

The magician sits down at the table with four spectators. He deals five cards to everyone (including himself), invites everyone to look at them and think of one. Then he collects the cards, lays them out on the table in five piles and asks someone to point him to one of them.

Then he takes this pile in his hands, opens the cards in a fan, facing the audience and asks if any of them see the intended card. If yes, then the artist (without ever looking at the cards) immediately pulls it out.

This procedure is repeated with each of the heaps until all the intended cards are found. In some heaps of conceived cards, there may not be any at all, while in others there may be two or more, but in any case, the cards are guessed by the showing unmistakably.

Focus secret:

This trick is explained simply. Fives of cards must be collected starting from the first spectator sitting to your left, and then clockwise (cards are held face down); the cards of the demonstrator will be the last and will be on top of the pack. Then all the cards are laid out in piles of five cards each. Any of the heaps can be opened to the audience.

Now, if viewer number two sees the intended card, then this card will be the second one, counting from the top of the pile. If the fourth spectator sees his card, it will be the fourth in the pile.

In other words, the location of the intended card in the pile will correspond to the number of the spectator, counting from left to right around the table (i.e. clockwise). This rule is valid for any pile.

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 ... >>

Using Apple Vision Pro during surgery 16.03.2024

The medical team at Cromwell Hospital in London used Apple Vision Pro for the first time during two spinal surgeries. This event confirms the headset's potential as a medical tool that will change the way surgical practice is practiced.

Although the doctors themselves did not use Vision Pro, the operating room nurse worked with virtual reality using glasses while preparing and performing procedures. The headset made it possible to view virtual screens in the operating room, select instruments and monitor the progress of the operation.

Software developed by eXeX, a company that specializes in creating artificial intelligence-based applications for surgery, has significantly improved the patient care process. Using Apple Vision Pro opens up new opportunities for developing healthcare applications such as clinical education, surgical planning, training and medical imaging.

The introduction of Apple Vision Pro into medical practice opens a new era in surgery and promises to improve the quality of medical care. This progressive step allows doctors and nurses to use advanced technology for more precise and effective medical interventions.
