Focus Description:

Working with a silk scarf, the magician ties a knot in its center. The node "melts".

Focus secret:

You will need a handkerchief (preferably silk) with a side of at least half a meter to make the trick effective.

1. Grasp the corners of the handkerchief, diagonally opposite, holding them with the thumb and forefinger of each hand.

2. Twist the scarf like a rope, but not tight. The angle held by the fingers of the left hand is called angle A, and the angle held by the fingers of the right hand is called angle B.

3. Bring end B to the left hand and open the middle and ring fingers of the left hand.

4. Place end B on end A, passing end B between the middle and ring fingers of the left hand.

5. Then the right hand goes through the loop and grabs the end of A, as shown in the figure. The middle and ring fingers of the left hand press the twisted silk to the palm under the end of A.

6. When the middle and ring fingers of the left hand are closed over the handkerchief, the middle finger of the left hand hooks the silk just under the crosshairs of the two ends below the end of B.

7. Key focus movement. Pull end A through the loop with your right hand. End B is firmly clamped with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand. The middle and ring fingers of the left hand release the silk as the middle finger of the left hand hooks and pulls the bottom of end B through the loop.

Focus Melted Knot

8. Continuing to pull end A, you get a knot around the loop held by the middle finger of the left hand. When the knot is tight enough to hold its shape, remove your left middle finger from the loop.

9. Note. Looking from the side, you can confidently say that you have tied a real knot on a scarf. In fact, you secretly made a "slip" knot. If you pull on the ends of the scarf, the knot will "melt"

10. Show the audience the knot on a loose handkerchief that you hold with your left thumb and forefinger.

11. Grasp end A with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Hold the handkerchief horizontally in front of you. Gently blow on the handkerchief. Pull the ends of the scarf at the same time, and the knot will “melt”.

Trick The melted knot is one of the basic, classic tricks. It is very important to practice until you can tie this knot as quickly and easily as a simple knot. The ability to quickly knit such knots will come in handy for other spectacular tricks.

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. ... >>

Li-Fi network tested at 150 Mbps 28.10.2013

Chinese researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have announced that they have successfully tested Li-Fi wireless technology.

The principle of operation of Li-Fi is reduced to changing the parameters of the glow of light-emitting diode lamps (LED) at a very high speed. This process is controlled by a special microchip, which encodes information in this way. To register light beams, a special photodetector is used, which performs inverse data conversion. For the human eye, light vibrations remain imperceptible.

Chinese scientists managed to achieve information transfer speeds through Li-Fi up to 150 Mbps. This is higher than the average bandwidth of broadband connections in China.

In the future, Li-Fi may become a low-cost alternative to wireless Wi-Fi networks. Theoretically, cameras of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other gadgets can be used to register Li-Fi pulses.

However, Li-Fi has a very serious limitation: the transmitter and receiver of data must be in line of sight.
