 Comments on the article

Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience a handkerchief and twists it into a rope in his hands. Under the guidance of a magician, a scarf twisted into a rope stands, bows to the audience and mysteriously moves back and forth. Then the magician ties an invisible thread to the top of the scarf, makes the scarf "walk on a magic leash." Even after the handkerchief, twisted into a rope, has folded into the other hand and limp, the magician cannot calm the hypnotized handkerchief in any way.

Focus secret:

1. Borrow a handkerchief from the viewer or use your own. Lay it out on the table. Grasp the left hand corner A of the handkerchief with the fingers of your left hand, and the border in the center of the right side with your right hand (point B).

2. Lift the handkerchief and stretch it out in front of you.

3. Twist the scarf using both hands...

4...until the entire handkerchief is wrapped into a tight rope.

5. Holding the scarf twisted into a rope with both hands, bring your right hand over your left so that the right end (point B) is exactly above the left (point A).

6. Then intercept the handkerchief with your left hand so that it holds it near the center. Do not let the handkerchief unwind while you move your left hand. The right hand holds the handkerchief by the upper end (at point B).

7. Pull the handkerchief tightly with both hands, then slowly release the top and move your right hand to the side. The handkerchief will stand as "hypnotized". (Actually, due to the natural stiffness of the twisted fabric.)

8. Pretend to have pulled out your hair, and tie it around the tip of the handkerchief B. Holding on to the "free" end of the invisible hair, slowly pull it towards you. With the thumb of your left hand, pull one side of the twisted handkerchief down, and he obediently bows. Note. In rehearsals, you will work out the synchronism of the movements of this pantomime.

9. Now the right hand pulls the invisible hair forward towards the audience. To straighten the handkerchief and bow to the other side, push the fabric up with your left hand to the center of the twisted handkerchief.

10. Here is a more detailed drawing of the movement to be done in step 8. This shows how the thumb of the left hand pulls the fabric of the center down so that it bows to you.

11. And here is the action of the thumb of the left hand as it pushes the fabric forward and upward, causing the handkerchief to bow to the audience in step 9.

12. After repeating the bows several times, return the handkerchief to its original position "straight stance". Then bring your right hand over the handkerchief.

13. Then, with one quick downward motion of the right hand, crush it between the right palm and the left fist.

14. Quickly raise your right hand: with this movement, the fingers of the right hand secretly straighten the handkerchief ...

15... and return the handkerchief to its original "hypnotized" state. With repeated rehearsals, you will ensure that this movement will turn out to be quick and natural for you, giving the impression that the handkerchief has stood up on its own.

16. At the end of the performance, unfold the handkerchief and invite the audience to check it.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Chopsticks change her taste 08.08.2018 A group of researchers from different countries have developed chopsticks that can change the taste of a dish to a more sour or salty one. The electrodes installed along the edges of the bowl that comes with the chopsticks are responsible for changing the taste. Cutlery is also an electrode. They are interconnected by a board and a battery. Unusual dishes are equipped with an indicator that recognizes the taste of food. According to the developers, in order for the brain to perceive food as sour, stimulation with a current strength of 180 μA and a duty cycle of 70% is supplied through the electrodes, as salty - with a current of 40 μA and a duty cycle of 20%. The novelty has already been tested by more than 30 volunteers. According to the participants of the experiment, the taste buds really obeyed the signals of the electrodes.
