Passing with two halves of the deck is not exactly a draw or a shuffle, but when combined with a fake shuffle, it is a very useful move. When you ask a spectator to choose a card and then return it to the middle of the deck to "lose" it, this maneuver will keep the card where you want it to be.

1. When a spectator picks up a card, remove the deck from where the spectator took the card and align both sides of the deck, holding the bottom half face down in your left hand and the top half in your right. Ask a spectator to place a card on top of the packet in your left hand.

2. Move the top of the deck so that its left edge is exactly under the right edge of the bottom (see illustration).

Focus Pass with two halves of the deck
The part of the deck that is in the right hand is slipped under the half of the deck in the left hand to toss it and turn it face up

With the half of the deck in your right hand, carefully toss the bottom half so that it is face up in your left hand.

3. At the same time, turn the top half of the deck over and place it faceup on the bottom half.

4. As a result of this maneuver, all cards should be face up in the left palm; the right hand can now drag the deck, face down, onto the fingers of the left hand into a shuffling position.

5. The card the spectator has guessed is now at the top of the deck, and without separating your hands, you can directly proceed to the false shuffle. If you use Fake Shuffle 3 (see above), you can move the card to the bottom of the deck and, going straight to Fake Shuffle 4 (see above), move the card back to the top of the deck.

Focus Pass with two halves of the deck
When the half of the deck in the left hand is face up, the half of the deck in the right hand is brought over it, to then also turn face up

6. The description of this technique looks quite complicated, and if you do it slowly, it will seem too clumsy to you. But if you practice, after a few minutes you will see that you can actually do it very quickly.

7. Passing with two halves of the deck to the audience will look like a normal preparation for a shuffle, and if you immediately go to a shuffle in one movement, no one will pay attention to this manipulation.

8. Pass with two halves of the deck in combination with false shuffles is used in trick "Wrong card".

Focus Pass with two halves of the deck
The index finger of the right hand is placed on top of the pile in the right hand, turning it face up and at the same time placing it on top of the pile in the left hand. With one movement, the right hand turns the entire deck face down on the fingers of the left hand and begins a fake shuffle.

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 ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>
