Focus Description:

The spectator shuffles the cards and, while the magician is standing with his back, deals in two equal piles of any number of cards. He gives one pile to another spectator and each removes his pile, looks at the card he is removing and returns the top half of his pile to the other spectator's bottom half. The two stacks are combined in any order the viewer wants and filmed as many times as the audience wants.

The magician does not see any of this, but with his own special shuffle brings the two chosen cards together.

Focus secret:

The merit of this trick lies in its unusual ending, and its effect largely depends on the recapitulation.

1. Give the deck to a spectator, let's call him George, and turn your back. Ask George to shuffle the deck and then deal the cards into two equal piles of any number of cards face down on the table. It is better that this number be between eight and fifteen in each pile so that the trick is doable. Ask them to put the rest of the cards aside. Ask him to place one pile face down in front of him and the other in front of another spectator, let's call him Nikolai.

2. Tell Georgy and Nikolai: "Please remove both of your piles by taking a few cards from the top. Now look at the bottom card of the pile that you are holding in your hand and memorize it, but put the cards back on each other's piles - in other words, George, put your cards on Nikolai's pile, and you, Nikolai, put yours on George's pile. Done? So now you have two piles in front of you. Place one on top of the other, no matter which one is on top. Done? Good."

3. Now you can turn around, there will be one pile of cards on the table, not counting those set aside. Ask Nikolai and Georgy to perform a full card withdrawal again.

4. Now take the deck and say: "Each of you selected a card at random from the shuffled deck and put it into the deck, which was removed twice in succession. Two cards can end up anywhere.

I don't know either card. However, with the help of an ancient Indian shuffling method, I can bring two cards together. Follow carefully. I have nothing in my sleeves

5. Take the cards in your left hand, keep your thumb on the back of the cards, and the rest of your fingers on the other end. Using the fingers of your right hand, bring together the top and bottom cards of the deck (see illustration above). Place them face down on the table and keep doing the same until you have dealt each pair into a pile on the table (remember: if you have an extra card left in your left hand, then you dealt wrong or George did not deal in two equal piles. In In this case, directly say that there was an error in the change, and start the deal from the beginning, following each step) I do not hide.

This is an arithmetic trick that cannot fail, so if the revealed card is wrong, you dealt wrong. Say, "I've never met a magician who made a mistake here. Looks like someone did something wrong. Let's try again."

6. Now turn over the cards and start doing the same with the cards face up, asking George and Nikolai to stop you when either of them sees their card. When doing this, make sure no one sees the bottom card of the pair you are dealing.

7. As soon as Nikolai or Georgy sees his card, deal a pair to one side, and put the rest of the cards along with those already dealt.

8. Say: "If the old magician who taught me this shuffle was not mistaken, then the card lying under the card of George is the card of Nikolai. Personally, I don’t really know whether to believe it or not. What card did you have, Nikolai? Nikolai calls his card, you raise the card of George - under it is the card of Nikolai.

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 ... >>

EEPROM in a new miniature package 22.04.2007

In March 2007, ST Microelectronics announced the release of EEPROM chips familiar to everyone (capacity from 2 to 64 kbit; with SPI or 12C interface) in a miniature 2x3 mm MLP8 (ML - Micro Leadframe) design.

In terms of its performance, the new development is comparable to its predecessor, a 4x5 mm chip (in the S08N package). However, the novelty can significantly save space on the printed circuit board, as well as reduce the cost of the final device. STMicroelectronics is the first company to bring to market a complete line of EEPROM series in such a small package.

A super-thin case (only 0,6 mm) with flat leads located on both sides, the number of memory cycles up to 1 million (!), the ability to store the necessary data for more than 40 years - all this makes the microcircuit a worthy representative of its family.

The new development is intended for applications in wide areas of modern microelectronics: digital photo and video cameras, miniature MP3 players, various consoles, game consoles, wireless devices, Wi-Fi systems.
