Copper joins with silver. The Secret of Focus

Spectacular tricks and their clues

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

The magician asks the spectator to assist him and invites him to stand next to him on the left. The magician takes two coins from his trouser pocket. One of them is the English penny, the other is the American half dollar.

Both coins are the same size. The copper penny contrasts nicely with the silver half dollar. The coins are handed over to the spectator for verification. The magician then shows everyone an empty handkerchief and wraps a silver half dollar in it. A half dollar wrapped in a handkerchief is handed to the spectator. The magician draws the audience's attention to the English penny. He then "invisibly" throws the penny toward the handkerchief. To everyone's surprise, the missing penny is heard to penetrate the handkerchief and join the half dollar! The spectator is asked to unfold the scarf and make sure that the coin is actually in the scarf.

Focus secret:

To demonstrate this trick, you need to be proficient in the Palm-Finger Coin Hold and the French Coin Drop or any other trick where the coin disappears. You will need two English pennies, one half dollar and a handkerchief.

Fold the handkerchief and place it in the inside pocket of your jacket. Place one of the English pennies next to the handkerchief so that you can easily pick up this coin. Place the half dollar and the second English penny in your right trouser pocket.

1. Invite a volunteer from the audience and ask him to stand next to you on the left. (This spectator position will protect you from “accidental peeking” during the performance.)

2. Remove the penny and half dollar from the right trouser pocket and hand them to the spectator for inspection.

3. While he is busy checking the coins, reach his left hand into the inside pocket of his jacket and secretly place the second penny in the Palm-Fingers position. Once the coin is in your palm, take the handkerchief and remove the hand with the handkerchief from your pocket. Be careful that the audience does not accidentally see the second coin in your palm when you show the audience that the handkerchief is empty.

4. After displaying the handkerchief, leave it in your left hand, which will help you disguise the coin in your palm.

5. Ask the spectator to pass you a half dollar. Take the coin with the fingertips of your right hand and show it to the audience. Now pass the coin to the fingertips of your left hand. At this moment, your left hand is holding: secretly in the Palm-fingers position a copper penny, with your fingertips in full view of a half dollar and a handkerchief at the corner of the fabric.

6. With your right hand, you grab the bottom corner of the scarf and “pull” it out of your left hand. Then you cover your left hand with the coin/s with the handkerchief.

Note: the scarf must be draped so that the coin is near the center of the scarf.

7. Using the fingers of your right hand, grasp the half dollar through the fabric of the handkerchief, and release it with your left hand.

8. Now, under the cover of a scarf, secretly, with your left hand, move the penny that was in your palm into the palm of your right hand. The English penny remains under the handkerchief when the fingers of the right hand grasp the handkerchief and hold the penny through the fabric of the handkerchief.

9. Invite the spectator to grasp the half dollar through the fabric of the handkerchief, when he does this, let the penny slide down into the handkerchief, continuing to hold the penny with the fingers of his right hand.

10. Unfold the scarf parallel to the floor. Then, with a sliding motion, move your right hand to the right, towards the corners of the scarf. As you move your right hand, leave the penny in the middle of the handkerchief. The penny is now between your right hand and the spectator's hand, which is holding the half dollar.

11. Immediately grab the penny with your left hand in the place where this coin is located, grasping the handkerchief in the middle.

12. Ask the spectator to grasp the handkerchief with his free hand between your right and left hands.

Note. Since you are holding the penny in the handkerchief with your left hand, he will not be able to accidentally feel the second coin in the handkerchief.

13. Now you can remove your hands from the scarf. As long as the spectator keeps the handkerchief stretched out and parallel to the floor, the hidden penny will remain in place. Take another penny and display it by twirling it with your left hand.

14. Bring your right hand to your left and perform the French Reset trick. As you know, with this movement you make the audience believe that you have passed the coin into your closed right hand, when in fact it has secretly remained in your left hand. Note: You can use any disappearing trick at this point if you wish.

15. Then you raise your right hand, in which, according to the audience, there is a coin, over the scarf. You must "slap" the handkerchief so that the end pops out of the spectator's right hand. To perform this operation correctly, try to slap the handkerchief as close to the half dollar as possible. Make a sharp downward movement with your right hand. Open the palm of your right hand just before it touches the scarf.

16. The handkerchief will jump out of the spectator's right hand, the hidden coin will slide to the center of the handkerchief and hit the half dollar. The sound of the impact will show the audience that the penny has penetrated the fabric of the handkerchief and joined the half dollar.

17. You invite the viewer to unfold the scarf. He will find both coins in the center. While he checks them, secretly drop the second penny into your pocket.

Focus Copper joins silver

This is a great trick in the category of tricks that require sleight of hand. Although it requires a lot of rehearsal until all movements become automatic, the effect is worth the effort. If you don't have two English pennies, you can replace them with any two heavy coins.

In this case, it is best to use foreign coins, since they are “contrasting” to the half dollar. However, two American coins will also work, such as a half dollar and two quarters, or a silver dollar and two half dollars. Smaller coins are better for covert operations because they are easier to hold in the palm of your hand. The difference in size does not matter when the viewer feels only one coin (the large one) through the fabric. Just make sure that the double coin is heavy enough and falls with a clink onto the first coin.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Technology for creating artificial joint selfies 10.06.2020

The US Patent and Trademark Office has published a new patent application from Apple. It describes the technology for creating group selfies using a special algorithm that combines pictures of people who may be in different parts of the world into a single joint photo.

To create an artificial group selfie, special software is used, with which you can cooperate with friends. Each of the participants on their Apple device will need to make their own "self", and the algorithm will combine all the selfies into one shot, so that the result looks like a normal joint photo.

The description of the patent application states that users will be able to change their position on the generated joint selfie, and each of the participants will be able to save their own copy of such a photo.
