Focus Description:

The magician and the spectator each take half of the shuffled deck. The magician turns his back while the spectator selects a card from his half, memorizes it, and places it face down on top of his half of the deck. The magician turns and places his half of the deck on top of the first. The spectator takes the entire deck by the back and moves three cards as directed, turning over one and placing it in the deck. When checked, the reversed card is next to the one originally chosen by the spectator.

Focus secret:

1. A spectator, let's call her Elvira, shuffles the deck. Ask her to divide the deck into two parts and give one part to you. Say: "I'm going to turn away, Elvira, and at this time you will choose any card, memorize it and put it on top of the deck."

2. While you're standing with your back, make slight adjustments to your side of the deck. Turn two cards face up: the second from the top and the bottom. Ask Elvira if she did everything, and if so, turn around. Ask her what exactly she did. This is to make sure she followed the instructions and that her chosen card is the top card of the deck.

Ask her to put her stack on the table and put her stack on top.

3. Ask Elvira to put the entire pile behind her back and face the audience, as you don't want anyone to see her manipulation of the cards (or rather, not notice one of the cards that you turned face up).

4. Tell Elvira: "You have to move three cards. Take the top card and put it close to the bottom of the deck. Got it? Now take the bottom card and put it close to the top of the deck. Done? Now take the next top card and turn it over. Now put closer to the center of the deck. Done? Good. Now you can return the deck to me."

5. Take the deck from Elvira and explain what you want to do. Say, "I hope, Elvira, and it usually happens that you find your chosen card along with the one you turned over and put face up in the deck. I don't know how it works, but I think it has to do with your personal magnetism. The card you turn over, automatically obeying instinct, finds the one you originally chose."

6. Fan out the cards face down so that everyone can see them, and next to the middle there will be a card located face up (not the one, of course, that Elvira turned over - she just brought the one you turned over to the standard position).

7. Say, "Oh, here's the card you turned over, and the one below it must be your chosen card. Tell us, which card did you choose?" Elvira names the card. Ask her to take and name the card lying under the card facing up. This will be the card she has chosen.

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 ... >>

Electric car Polestar 2 23.02.2019

Polestar, a subsidiary of Volvo Car Group and Zhejiang Geely Holding, has unveiled its second vehicle, the Polestar 2. Unlike the hybrid first-born Polestar 1, the Polestar 2 is a purebred battery-electric vehicle and the brand's first mass-produced model.

The five-door fastback model (in this case a sedan with a sloping roof and a miniature trunk lid) shares the same boldly angular design as its predecessor. The Polestar 2 is built on Volvo Car Group's proprietary Compact Modular Architecture platform (CMA).

A pair of electric motors with 300 kW (408 hp) and 660 Nm of torque provides all-wheel drive and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds. The 78 kWh (72 kWh in China) floor-integrated battery consists of 27 modules and is designed for a range of 500 km (WLTP/NEDC) or 275 miles (EPA).

The 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system is built on the Android platform, including Google Assistant services, Google Maps and other applications from the Google Play Store. You can control the settings and modes of the electric vehicle using a smartphone using it in Phone-as-Key mode.

The Polestar 2 will only be available through online pre-order, starting at €59,900 in Europe and $63,000 in the US.
