Focus Description:

The magician holds a rope in his hands, the corresponding end is clamped in each hand. He invites the viewer to pick up another rope in the same way. Having declared that it is impossible to tie a knot on a rope without releasing at least one end from his hand, the magician begins to manipulate the rope, demonstrating a series of different loops.

Without releasing the ends of the rope from his fingers, the magician performs the manipulations slowly so that the viewer can repeat each movement after the magician. Holding both ends with his fingers, the magician drops the rope from his hand, and a knot magically appears in the middle of it. No knot appeared on the spectator's rope, although he is sure that he copied the magician's movements exactly.

Focus secret:

1. Grasp the rope with the index and thumb of both hands at the ends.

2. Bring your right hand inward (towards you) and wrap the rope around your left wrist.

3. Pull the right end of the rope down and under the hanging loop. This will separate the loop into two parts, left and right.

4. Insert your right hand (without releasing the right end of the rope) into the left side of the loop, and in the same continuous movement, bring your hand back through the right side of the loop, wrapping around the rope.

5. Without releasing the ends of the rope, take your right hand to its previous position, to the right, as a result of which the point that you bypassed will be on the back of your right wrist.

6. You move your right hand to the same level as the left and take it away from it, pulling the criss-crossing rope tightly between your wrists. Now release the tension on the rope between your wrists, tilt both hands forward and down so that the outer loops lying on the wrists begin to slide off your hands.

7. At this point, you are ready for a secret move. When the rope began to slip from your hands, you prepared to secretly let go of the rope with your right hand, simultaneously intercepting it at point B in the movement detailed in step 8.

8. At the moment when the loops have already slipped from your hands, spread your arms, simultaneously releasing the right end of the rope with your thumb and forefinger and secretly catching the rope at point B with the remaining three fingers of your right hand. Since at this moment the rope flies from their hands, the spectators do not pay attention to this almost imperceptible movement, which is the secret of the whole trick.

9. You spread your arms to the sides, and the right end, threaded into a small loop, automatically tightens the knot in the middle of the rope.

10. The thumb and forefinger of the right hand immediately return to their original position at the end of the rope - the rope looks exactly the same as before the start of the trick, but with a knot in the middle.

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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Among the bees, there are also right-handers and left-handers 10.11.2017

Entomologists from the University of Queensland have proven that bees can have an individual tendency to choose right or left when flying. Approximately a quarter of the insects participating in the experiment of scientists turned out to be "right-handed", another quarter - "left-handed", while all other animals did not show preferences.

Studies show that insects exhibit certain behaviors when navigating, such as flying more slowly in narrow passages (perhaps to reduce the risk of injury). In addition, they may have individual inclinations, but so far this has been little studied.

The authors of the new work decided to test two hypotheses at once - whether honey bees will choose a wide path more often than a narrow one, and whether there are “right-handed” and “left-handed” among these animals. The researchers built a small tunnel between the hive and the feeder, in the middle of which there was an obstacle. It was a partition either with a wide and narrow, or with two identical openings. The insects had to fly through this obstacle to get food, while the scientists monitored their behavior. About 100 bees participated in the experiment.

When the size of the holes in the tunnel differed, the bees usually preferred to fly along a wider path - and the larger the difference, the more pronounced this pattern was. However, when the passages in the tunnel were the same, the bees showed individual differences: while 55% of the insects chose the path randomly, flying either through the right or through the left hole, the remaining animals were divided approximately equally into "right-handers" and "left-handers". These bees chose one side time after time.

Additional experiments confirmed the result. In particular, when the bee was forced to fly not through its "own" side - for example, when the "right-handed" bee had to fly through the left, but wider passage - it needed a little more time to make a decision. If the path more convenient for the insect turned out to be simultaneously wider, then it reacted almost instantly.

Scientists suggest that such tendencies may help bees navigate. If there were no “right-handers” and “left-handers” among the bees, then perhaps they would all fly in the same ways, which would make movement difficult. On the other hand, if all insects had such tendencies, it would lead to a similar problem. Divide into three groups, according to the researchers, this is the most convenient strategy.
