Focus Description:

To demonstrate this classic sleight-of-hand trick, you must first master the classic holding of a coin in the palm of your hand.

Since you will be performing the trick in close proximity to the audience, you should place the coin naturally and easily in the palm of your hand. You will also need seven identical coins. Be sure to use only those coins that you can easily hold in the palm of your hand. They can be quarters, half dollars, and even silver dollars, depending on the size of your hand. Put seven coins in your right pocket.

Focus secret:

1. Remove coins from your pocket. As you do this, secretly place one of the coins in your palm. Place the six remaining coins on the table in two rows of three coins. We will designate them A, B, C, D, E and F, and the seventh, which is held by the palm, - G.

2. Stretch your right hand, in which the seventh coin G is hidden, over the table and take with it the first coin from the left row, A.

3. If the field of view allows, that is, if the audience is just in front of you, you can turn coin A in the fingertips of your right hand, hiding coin G, in front of the audience, demonstrating it, as shown in the figure. The fingers of the right hand are directed upwards, and in this case the coin in the palm is not visible to the audience. If you are surrounded by people, keep your right hand so that the palm is always facing the table when you take a coin from the table and throw it into the palm of your left hand.

4. Throw the first coin A into your open left palm.

5. With your right hand, in which coin G is still hidden, take the second coin B from the table from the left row.

6. Throw coin B into the open left palm towards coin A.

7. The right hand picks up the third and last coin C from the left row. Coin G is still secretly held by the right palm. Note. Evaluate the field of view of the spectators to make sure that they do not accidentally see the coin G hidden in the palm of their hand at any time during the procedure from steps 1 to 7.

8. This time toss the third coin C into the left palm and at the same time release the coin G hidden in the palm so that both coins C and G fall together into the open left palm.

9. Immediately cover your left hand with four coins and turn it over with the back of your hand up. At the moment, the audience believes that you simply counted three coins into your left hand.

10. Note: Coins don't necessarily fall that way. Simply drop both coins as one and close your palm immediately.

11. In the left hand, according to the audience, there are three coins of the left row (actually, four), and the right hand begins to collect the three coins (D, E and F) remaining on the table.

12. Take the first coin D and show it to the audience with your right hand. As you do this, position it in your hand so that you are ready to move it into the classic palm-holding position.

13. Then close your right palm and turn the brush over. Use your fingers to move the coin into a classic palm-holding position. Take the two remaining coins E and F with the fingers of your right hand. Then close your fingers over the coins.

14. Coin D in the palm of your hand you must keep separate from the last two coins (E and F). Note. At this point, the audience believes that there are three coins in each hand.

15. Now make a "moderate" throwing motion with your right hand towards your left hand. Relax the fingers of your left hand so that the coins in it jingle. Tell the audience that you magically tossed one of the coins to your left hand.

16. With your right hand, holding coin D in the palm of your hand in a classic palm hold position, place the other two coins (E and F) on the table.

17. The left hand immediately lays out its four coins on the table.

18. General impression: one coin magically moved from the right hand to the left.

19. Show that your left hand is empty, but be careful: the audience should not notice the D coin hidden in your right hand.

20. You have just mastered the basic sequence of this trick. From now on, you repeat the procedure from step 2 to step 9.

21. The right hand collects four coins from the left row and throws them into the left palm one at a time. When you toss the last G coin, you add the D coin hidden in your palm to it and discard it to the four coins that are in your left palm.

22. Then with your right hand you pick up the two remaining coins on the table. The first coin, E, you place in a classic palm hold position. Be careful, keep the second coin, F, separate from the first coin, E, as in steps 13 and 14.

23. Make a throwing motion with your right hand. "Jingle" the coins in your left hand, proving the "arrival" of the fifth coin.

24. With your right hand, you will place only one E coin on the table while holding the other F coin in your palm. Then with your left hand you place five coins on the table.

25. Now repeat the procedure from steps 2 to 9, collecting five coins in your left hand. Secretly add the coin held in the right palm to the five "discarded".

26. After that, only one coin will remain on the table. With this coin you will perform a special trick Reset to your knees. This method is described in steps 28, 29 and 30.

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Satellite-controlled mushroom picking 20.10.2010 An interesting experiment was conducted by employees of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. For two seasons, they watched mushroom pickers from a Mexican village, comparing the successes in the "silent hunt" of men and women. The experimenter who accompanied each group of peasants had a satellite navigation device with him, which made it possible to map the wanderings of mushroom pickers. And each mushroom picker was equipped with a pulse rate recorder - from this data, energy consumption can be calculated. The collected mushrooms were weighed. On average, judging by the weight of the collected baskets, both men and women were equally successful in picking mushrooms. But women stopped more often to cut even a single mushroom, while men preferred to stop only for the sake of a whole mushroom family. In addition, men went further into the forest, climbed higher into the mountains and expended 70% more energy than women.
