1. Take the coin with the tips of the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers of the left hand "in a pinch" so that half of the coin protrudes above the fingers. Keep your fingers close together so that the audience can't see anything between them. The hand is facing you.

2. You bring your right hand to your left, clearly intending to take a coin with it.

3. The right hand continues to approach the left until it completely covers the coin, supposedly in order to take it from the fingers of the left hand.

4. Once the coin is out of sight under the fingers of the right hand, the thumb of the left hand "releases" the coin, allowing it to secretly slip inside the "pinch" to the base of the fingers of the left hand.

5. The coin remains in the left hand, secretly held in the palm-fingers position. Moving your right hand away from your left, follow your right hand with your eyes, as if the coin is in it. The attention of the audience will be focused on your right hand, and at this time you naturally drop your left hand with a coin along the body.

6. The right hand is turned with the back of the hand towards the audience, and you grind the "coin" with your fingers into a powder.

7. Open your palm and show that there is nothing in your right hand.

Note: In steps 6 and 7 of the disappearance of the coin in this technique, you do not clench the fingers of your right hand into a fist. You act as if you are taking a coin from your left hand to display it in a "pinch" with your right before you "pulverize" it into an invisible powder.

In steps 5, 6, and 7, and in other disappearing tricks, when the audience should be in no doubt that the coin has been passed from one hand to the other, the most essential element is to have your eyes follow the hand in which, in the opinion of the audience , there is a coin. This is one of the main and most important examples of a red herring. In fact, in this trick, where you look is as important an element as the trick itself. The audience is looking where you are looking. Therefore, when rehearsing this or a similar trick, you must first go through the whole procedure, actually holding the coin in your right hand.

With this approach, you solve two problems at once: first, you want the audience to believe that you took the coin in your right hand, although you hid it in your left. Therefore, the audience will believe it just as much as you naturally do it. Therefore, by actually holding the coin in your right hand, you will get an accurate idea of how you should behave when performing a trick. second, but no less important: in fact, taking a coin in your right hand, you will understand where you should look. You will not be able to take a coin in your right hand and look at your left. Stand in front of a mirror - pinch the coin with your left hand - then really take it with your right hand. Do this several times.

Try to take the coin with a natural and casual gesture. Then, still in front of the mirror, try the trick. Allegedly, when taking a coin, let it slip into your left hand. With the help of a mirror and two sets of illustrations, you will understand how the trick looks to you and how it looks to the audience. And always remember about the distraction - always look at the hand in which the coin should be in the opinion of the audience.

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 ... >>

Gamers make decisions faster and more accurately 18.07.2022

American neuroscientists from the University of Georgia gathered a group of 47 young people, 28 of whom often played video games, and the remaining 19 rarely or never.

Participants were placed in an MRI machine with a mirror inside that reflected a screen with moving dots. Volunteers had to press the button with the right or left hand, corresponding to the movement of the dot. Sometimes the point stopped - in which case the participant did not have to press the button at all.

The scientists found that video game enthusiasts performed the task faster and more accurately than others. What's more, subsequent analysis of brain scans showed clear differences associated with increased activity in certain areas of the brains of gamers.

There was no difference between the speed and accuracy of the response. Gamers were better at both.

According to the researchers, in the future, computer games can be used as a tool for cognitive decision-making training based on visual perception.
