Focus Description:

The legendary trick, when an Indian fakir threw a rope into the air and it hung, remained a mystery for a long time. The exact way it is implemented is still disputed. The following trick can be considered a variant of this famous trick, but on a smaller scale. The advantages of focus include the fact that it can be performed anywhere, both in front of small groups and in large audiences.

The magician shows a rope about a meter long or a little more. It looks like an ordinary rope in every way, but at the command of the magician it becomes rigid and stands upright, held by his fingers. The performer runs his hand from all sides of the rope, proving that she has no lateral support anywhere, that she is not suspended on a thin thread and there is no other secret device. Then, at the wave of the magician's hand, the rope gradually falls and returns to its natural, flexible state right in front of the audience!

Focus secret:

For the trick, you need to prepare a special rope. First, remove the core from a piece of rope about 1,2 meters long. You will be left with a braided outer sheath of rope in the form of a tube 1,2 meters long.

Cut off a piece of wire that is used as solder for soldering electrical contacts. The length of the wire should be slightly shorter than half the length of the rope. The solder should have a diameter of 1,5 to 3 mm and be as straight as possible.

Now carefully insert the wire into the core of the rope.

Focus Rising Rope

Tie both ends of the rope with white thread to keep the wire from popping out of the rope during the performance.

1. Demonstrating the rope, take the appropriate end of the rope in each hand. The end at which the wire is located is held by the left hand, the hollow end is held by the right hand. Make sure (prior to submission) that the bottom loop of the rope looks natural.

2. Release the hollow end with your right hand, allowing it to hang down freely. This is a hint that the rope is flexible.

3. Grasp the rope with the fingers of your right hand slightly above the center. You will feel the wire through the braided sheath. The left hand at this moment still holds the upper end of the rope.

4. Loosen your grip on the fingers of your right hand and let the wire slide secretly down, taking up the bottom half of the rope.

5. Let go of the upper end of the rope with your left hand, and the upper half will hang gently through your right hand. By this point, you have demonstrated to the public that the rope is soft throughout.

6. Grab the hollow end with your left hand and lift it up.

7. Next, the right hand releases the middle of the rope: you let the rope hang for its entire length, holding it with your left hand.

8. Grasp the middle with your right hand again, holding the rope between your thumb and forefinger, but this time turn your right hand palm up so that your thumb is pressing the rope from the side of the audience.

9. Holding the middle of the rope with your right hand, release the hollow end with your left hand and let it hang freely.

10. Turning the left hand palm up, grasp the lower end with the wire.

11. Here is the key move of this trick. Holding with both hands that half of the rope in which the wire is taut, you move the end with the wire to the upper position with your left hand and at the same time turn the right hand. The fingers of both hands, holding the rope, hold the wire in the upper position.

Focus Rising Rope

12. Then slowly and solemnly release the upper end of the rope, moving your left hand to the side. With your right hand, you firmly hold the lower end of the wire, located in the upper half of the rope. To the amazement of the audience, the rope is "worth it"! Showing that she is standing and not hanging, you run your left hand around the top end of the rope.

Focus Rising Rope

13. To return the rope to its former, flexible state, you gradually loosen the grip of the fingers of your right hand. Let the wire slide slowly down the rope into its lower half. This action gives the impression of a gradual "softening" of the rope. The gestures of the left hand should indicate that the rope is under control when it loses the strength that gives it rigidity.

Focus Rising Rope

14. When the rope hangs completely, grasp the hollow end with your left hand. With your right hand, which is still holding the rope, start wrapping the hollow end around your left fist. When you get to the wire, continue wrapping the rope and wire around your left fist. The solder wire is soft, and the rope will freely lie in rings on the fist to the end. Place the coil of rope on a table or in your pocket and bow.

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food.

LG with its smartphones was caught lying 15.04.2012

In South Korea, a scandal erupted due to the deception that LG was engaged in for a year, trying to attract new buyers with non-existent smartphone characteristics. In the specifications of the Optimus 2X, published on the company's website, it was indicated that the smartphone was equipped with a xenon flash, although in fact the device had a conventional LED from the moment it was released to the present day.

Xenon flashes, which are more commonly found on digital cameras, provide better image quality, but for a number of good reasons, smartphone manufacturers prefer LED flashes over xenon flashes. The fact is that xenon flashes take up more space in the device, they are more expensive and cannot be used for video shooting due to a short battery life due to higher power consumption than LED flashes, which leads to rapid battery discharge.

While LG has apologized and vowed it won't happen again, many Optimus 2X buyers are demanding compensation, claiming they bought the device based on misleading advertising. To date, more than 400 LG Optimus 2X smartphones have been sold in South Korea.
