EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Smart box. Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: The magician takes a deck in a box from the table, opens it and pulls out the cards. Handing them to the viewer, he asks him to shuffle the cards well and put them in a row of seven piles. Then he gives the viewer a piece of paper and a pencil and asks him to write the numbers from one to seven in a column and circle one of the numbers - of his choice. The magician looks at the top cards of each of the piles, calls out loud the suit and value of each card, and the spectator writes them down opposite the number of the pile. The spectator collects all the piles in a deck and shuffles it. Then he puts the deck on the table and removes it, dividing it into two parts. The magician places a box of cards on top of one of the halves of the deck and asks the spectator to place the other half on top of the box. The magician covers everything together with a handkerchief and pats the deck under the handkerchief. Then he takes off his handkerchief, asks one spectator to take half the deck lying on the box, and the other to take half the deck lying under the box, and find seven cards written on paper in these piles. Six cards are soon found, but the card whose number was circled has disappeared. A third spectator is asked to shake the box. There is something knocking. The viewer is asked to look into the box - the missing card is found there. Focus secret: 1. Take the deck packed in the box. The box is involved in the trick by itself, so you need to use another deck. The box should contain the deck that you used in the previous trick - this will convince the audience that it was not prepared in advance. Your first little trick is that you leave the bottom card of the deck in the box while memorizing it. It's not as easy as it seems. I suggest opening the box so that its lid obscures the contents from the viewer. Holding the box in your left hand, slide the cards halfway into your right hand. Place most of the cards between the thumb and the rest of the fingers of the right hand, at the same time placing the box upright again; make sure there are only a few cards left in the box. This usually happens, but if necessary, nudge a few cards back with your fingers. Lay out most of the deck on the table and then remove the remaining cards from the box. Holding the box upright, it is relatively easy to draw out the few remaining cards from there, while leaving the bottom card of the deck. I prefer to tilt the box (and thus the cards) forward and hold the bottom card with my middle finger. The index finger and thumb draw the cards and you can easily see which card is left. Let it be nine tambourines for us. 2. Put the remaining few cards next to the rest, close the box with the lid (gently holding the nine of diamonds inside) and put it next to it. 3. Give the deck to your assistant, let's call him Semyon, ask him to shuffle the cards well and put them in a row of seven piles. Give him a pencil and paper and ask him to write the numbers from one to seven in a column and circle any of the numbers. 4. Ask Semyon to write next to each number the suit and value of the top card in each of the piles that you will read to him. Now, if Semyon has laid out his piles from left to right (as viewed from you), and the circled number is five, start with the pile lying on the left, this will be pile 1. If he circled the deuce, start with the rightmost pile, from pile 7. This it is done so that the card from the pile, the number of which is circled, sounded as late as possible. In other words, if the circled number is 4, 5, 6, or 7, start naming cards from pile 1. If it is 1, 2, or 3, name the first card from pile 7. It is important that the spectators do not expect you to show them which cards are actually on top of each pile, otherwise you will have to cheat them again. The assistant writes down the suit and value of the top cards of each of the piles opposite the number of the pile. When he reaches the circled number, he writes down the card that remains in the box. In our case, this is a nine tambourine 5. Suppose Semyon circled the number 5. Therefore, you need to start naming cards from the first pile. Raise the card, look at it, saying, for example: "Stack number one - four of clubs." Hold the card for 1-2 seconds while Semyon writes, casually letting the audience see that you have named the card correctly, but not actually showing it. Put it back on the stack. Announce the card from the second pile in the same way. Return the card from the third pile to its place a little faster, without letting the audience see it. Make sure Semyon writes it down before picking up the next one, which you'll put in place even faster. The audience is now used to you not showing them the cards, and will not ask questions, as they do not yet know why the cards are written in a column on a piece of paper. If they ask, say something like "Be patient, everything has its time." A deck divided into two halves, with a box (with the missing card) placed between them, covered with a handkerchief on top 6. When you reach pile 5, that is, the number that Semyon circled, look at the top card, but name the one that you left in the box, in our case, the nine of diamonds. 7. When Semyon writes down all seven cards, ask him to collect all the piles in one deck and shuffle it well. Then ask him to put the deck on the table and remove the cards, dividing them into two piles. 8. After taking the box, ask Semyon which pile he wants to place the deck on. Place the box on top of that pile and then ask him to place another pile on top. 9. Take a clean handkerchief out of your pocket and cover the resulting turret of cards and box with it. Tell the audience: "Now I want to do an interesting experiment" - and pat the top of the turret with your fingers through a handkerchief. Say "This should help" and remove the handkerchief. 10. Tell Semyon: “Will you take the stack of cards above the box, Semyon, and you, Boris, take the stack that lies under the box. Would you be so kind as to find our seven written cards? And when you find, please, put them on the table." 1.1 The spectators still do not know what to expect, but soon they will see that Semyon and Boris have laid out only six cards on the table and that the circled card is not among them. 12. Say, "So, one card is missing. Where is the nine of diamonds? Please look over your stacks again. The card you circled is missing, Semyon. Well, it looks like my little experiment should work." 13. Turn to another spectator, let's say Maria: "Maybe you can look in the box, Maria? Of course, she could not be there, right? Maybe shake her?" Maria shakes the box, in which something knocks. Say, "Something's knocking, or was it just me, Maria? There seems to be something inside. Can you show us something?" Maria opens the box - it contains nine tambourines. Most of the action in this trick is done by the audience, so you can focus on your reprise. Although I have offered you some lines, you should always be ready to improvise, especially in case of confusion. For example, if you couldn't leave one card in the box, turn it into a joke, say: "That was my first trick...turning all the fingers on my hand into thumbs!"
