1. Let's say the ace of spades is the bottom card of the deck, and you need to convince the audience that you are dealing it to the table. Hold the pack in your left hand, with your thumb on one long side and your index, middle, and ring fingers on the other. The little finger supports the deck while you show it to the audience (see picture).

2. Holding the cards lightly, turn your wrist palm down while moving your little finger over the face of the bottom card. With the tips of the second and third fingers, move the bottom card a centimeter back, you can also use the little finger if it's easier for you (see the bottom picture). Training will allow you to bring this technique to perfection. The most difficult thing is to move only one card. At first you will capture two or three cards, but if your goal is just to keep the bottom card, it doesn't matter. However, it's best to practice until you can only slide one bottom card, thus revealing the top of the second card from the bottom - in this case, five of diamonds.

3. With the bottom card (ace of spades) pushed back, the fingertips of the right hand take the five of diamonds from the "bottom" of the deck and place it face down on the table. Now slide the bottom card back so that it lies flush with the rest - it will look like you dealt the ace of spades to the table, when in fact you kept it where you want it - at the bottom of the deck.

The double lift is a very useful way to keep the card you want to hide from the public at the top of the face-down deck. By showing the audience the second card from the top as if it were the top card, you can hide the suit and value of the top card. Double lifting can be done in two ways.

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 ... >>

Transistor of one molecule and several atoms 29.07.2015

An international team of researchers, including representatives from Germany, Japan and the United States, has created a transistor from one molecule and several atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope.

The resulting sample consists of one organic phthalocyanine molecule, which is surrounded by a ring of 12 positively charged light metal (indium) ions. The entire structure was placed on a crystal of a semiconductor chemical compound (indium arsenide). The molecule is weakly bound to the substrate crystal. When the tip of a microscope probe is brought very close to it and a charge is applied, the electrons move between the tip and the substrate. Indium ions act as regulators of this process, ensuring the successive migration of single electrons and thereby guaranteeing the uninterrupted operation of the transistor.

Ensuring such stability was one of the difficulties that previous experimenters had encountered when trying to create a miniature sample.

Each ion is approximately 167 picometers in diameter, 15 times smaller than the thickness of a DNA strand and 600 times thinner than a human hair. The transistor operates at room temperature, and not at ultra-low, like early options.

During the experiments, scientists encountered an unusual effect: depending on the degree of charge, the phthalocyanine molecule rotated, which had a strong effect on the electron flow. The researchers plan to devote further experiments to the study of this phenomenon and to identify the relationship between the orientation of the molecule and conductivity. Their discovery could be an important step in the creation of nanodevices.
