Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience an ordinary handkerchief. A spectator invited to the stage stands to the left of the magician and extends his hand at waist level.

Taking hold of the diagonally opposite corners of the scarf, the magician twists the scarf into a loose rope and ties it around the spectator's wrist. With a sharp jerk, the handkerchief penetrates the hand in front of the public. The magician is holding a handkerchief with a newly tied loop still on it!

Focus secret:

This trick can be called a small pearl of the art of illusion: it can be performed always and everywhere. All you need for it is a large pocket handkerchief: square with a side of about half a meter - standard magician's "silk".

Focus is based on trick Melted Knot.

1. Grasp the diagonally opposite ends of the scarf A and B and loosely twist it into a rope.

2. Then wrap the scarf around the spectator's left wrist and take both ends of the scarf in the left hand, preparing the Melt Knot trick.

3. The spectator holds his hand in the same position, and you put your right hand through the loop and take hold of end A. Pull this end through the loop and tie a knot according to the "Melted Knot".

4. Note. When you pull the ends of the knot in opposite directions (end B to the right), you should hold the small loop on end A with the middle finger of your left hand, as indicated in the technique of the previous trick. This small loop is located under end A between the scarf and the spectator's wrist. As long as you press this loop firmly against the spectator's wrist, you can pull hard on the ends and pull the knot tight. Once the knot is tightened, the loop can be released.

5. Then with your right hand, move end A to the left around the spectator's wrist. The left hand continues to hold end A. End B should be in front of end A.

6. After you have wrapped end B around the spectator's wrist, you will get the following picture.

7. You have one real knot on top of the fake one. As a result, end A will be in the left hand, and end B will be in the right.

8. Taking one end in each hand, pull them. As a result, the fake knot around the wrist will "melt" and the audience will appear as if the loop formed by the knot has passed through the hand. Proof of this is the real loop knot left on the scarf.

9. Note. After you have tied both knots, invite the spectator to clasp their hands. The mystery of what happened will only increase, since the last possibility of deception - removing the noose through the fingers - is excluded. In addition, when tying a false knot in step 3, try to place it slightly off-center so that end A is slightly longer than end B. This way, you will have a long enough end in your hands that will be comfortable to wrap around your wrist in step 5.

This is an example of a great magic trick - an impromptu trick that can be performed even to one person with the same success as in a large audience.

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. ... >>

Petrol and diesel engines will be banned 06.07.2017

French Environment Minister Nicolas Hulot, previously known for speaking out in defense of the environment and for his work as a leading French television channel about nature, has announced an action plan aimed at making France a carbon-neutral country by 2050.

The most radical in the list of proposed measures is a complete ban on the use of cars with gasoline and diesel engines by 2040.

A number of countries have previously set the task of exploring the possibility of further preventing sales of such cars, but France is committed to their complete ban. The same Norway aims to ban the use of cars with gasoline and diesel engines in 2025. But in this case, we are still talking about the goal, and Nicolas Hulot proposes to ensure the introduction of a ban at the government level.

In addition, the measures proposed by some countries usually refer to the cessation of the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars, and Hulot talks about a phase-out period from now on. He literally announced "the end of sales of gasoline or diesel vehicles between today and 2040."
