Reading letters in closed envelopes. The Secret of Focus

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

The magician claims that he can read minds. He invites those present to come up with questions, write them down on pieces of paper, seal these sheets of paper in envelopes, and hand the envelopes to him.

The assistant distributes sheets of paper and envelopes to those who wish. After the questions are written down, the sheets of paper are put into envelopes, the envelopes are sealed, he collects them on a tray and brings them to the “mind reader.”

The magician takes an envelope from the tray, puts it on a stand - everyone can see the envelope - and says: “So... They ask me what the weather will be like tomorrow morning. I think it will be warm, unless frost hits. I’ll check if I’m wrong.” He opens the envelope and reads: “What will the weather be like tomorrow morning? Was there a question?” The author of the question shouts: “It was, it was!”

The guessing session continues.

After all the envelopes are opened, the most careful check reveals nothing: indeed, the contents of all the envelopes are guessed correctly.

Focus secret:

An agreement with an assistant and one of the spectators is needed. This spectator writes a question known in advance, the envelope with which should be the bottom one on the tray.

At the beginning of the guessing act, the magician announces the contents not of the one he took from above and opened, but of the envelope lying below with the agreed question. And when he opens the envelope lying on top “to check”, he insidiously recognizes the question that is actually being asked to him. And so - envelope after envelope.

Note that success will increase if the answers to questions are lively and witty. Resourcefulness is required here: there is very little time to think. So, although the trick is based on cunning, you still have to work and show your abilities.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.

About the benefits of building underground parking 13.12.2003

During the construction of an underground parking lot in the very center of Kyiv, on Podil, archaeologists found the ruins of an unknown church of the XNUMXth century.

The stone temple, built in the Romanesque style, stood on the bank of a stream. That's all that can be said about him so far. Scientists have not found any mention of him in the annals. The only clue is a legend about a young man who, during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, lost a ladle in the Jordan River, and later found it in a stream, when he returned to Kyiv.

On the bank of the stream, according to legend, the Church of St. Nicholas was then built. Perhaps it was the scientists who unearthed it. In defense of this version, there are two letters on the remains of the bell: N and I. But archaeologists are not sure that this is the first syllable of the name Nikolai.

Interesting is the fact that the Orthodox Church was clearly built, scientists say, under Western influence. The name and history of the temple are still a mystery.
