Penetrating scarf. Focus Secret

 Comments on the article

Focus Description:

Here's a simple yet effective trick using items found in every home. You will need: an ordinary glass, two scarves and an elastic ring that fits over the glass.

The magician shows the glass to the audience, holding it with his fingertips by the bottom. Then he puts a handkerchief in the glass and covers it with a second handkerchief. He fixes the second handkerchief on the glass with a rubber ring, thus sealing the first handkerchief in the glass. Further, holding the glass with his hand through the handkerchief, the magician puts his other hand under it and instantly pulls out the first handkerchief, the same one that was sealed in the glass! He removes the second handkerchief, and all the props are presented for verification. Incredible penetration!

Focus secret:

This trick is based on the simple movement that you secretly turn the glass upside down at the moment you cover it with a handkerchief.

1. Begin by demonstrating a glass, which you hold with the fingertips of your right hand at the bottom.

2. Show the handkerchief: the one that will later penetrate the glass. Pour it into the glass with your left hand.

3. Take the second handkerchief in your left hand. Pass an unfolded handkerchief between the glass and the audience, blocking the glass for a moment from the eyes of the audience.

4. At this moment, you need to make a secret movement. As you begin to cover the glass with a handkerchief, the fingertips of your right hand release pressure on the bottom, allowing the glass to automatically flip around the tips of your thumb and forefinger...

5...until the glass is completely upside down.

6. Note. The handkerchief tucked into the glass must be large enough not to fall out when the glass is turned over.

7. The glass is turned over, and the left hand finally covers the right hand with the glass with a handkerchief.

8. After that, you take the glass with your left hand through the handkerchief.

9. Remove your right hand from under the handkerchief, not forgetting in passing to show that your hand is empty, and take an elastic band from the table. With the fingers of your right hand, spread the elastic band and put it on the "top" of the glass over the handkerchief (actually on the bottom, which the audience does not know about).

10. Put your empty right hand under the handkerchief, and grasp the first handkerchief in the glass. Pull it out from under the scarf under the eyes of the audience. They will get the impression that the handkerchief has penetrated the bottom of the glass.

11. Put your right hand under the handkerchief again and grasp the top of the glass with your fingertips in the same way as you took the bottom to make a secret movement in the opposite direction - this time turn the glass over to its original position around the tips of the thumb and forefinger.

12. With your left hand, grab the outer (second) handkerchief above the glass and lift it just enough to make the elastic come off the glass - and stop. Pause long enough for the glass to turn over in your fingers and take its original position - bottom down.

13. Once the glass is in its "normal" position, remove the handkerchief completely and invite the audience to inspect it.

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 ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Random news from the Archive Brain implant and prosthesis restore sense of touch to paralyzed man 22.10.2016 Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have developed a system that restored the sense of touch to a person with paralysis of the arms and legs. He can sense objects by touching them with his robot arm, which he controls solely with his mind. Prostheses are getting better every day, but they still can't restore their user's sense of touch. This is a serious problem when you consider how important the sense of touch is to the use of the hands. Without it, it is almost impossible to understand the difference between a piece of cake and a fork, for example. A team led by Robert Gaunt of the University of Pittsburgh has pioneered a system that overcomes this limitation by allowing a 28-year-old paralyzed man to sense objects with a robotic limb. To make the system work, the scientists implanted small microelectrodes - each the size of a shirt button - into the patient's primary somatosensory cortex, the exact part of the brain that receives all sensory input from the body. Even before the operation, brain scans showed exactly where the processing of signals from each finger and palm takes place. After the operation, all signals went through the electrodes. With the help of a computer, this allowed the patient to feel touch through the robotic arm. It is important that stimulation of the cerebral cortex produces natural sensations, not just tingling, and the effect of the operation lasts for months. Patient Nathan Copeland correctly identifies objects in 80% of cases and feels pressure, as well as its intensity, but cannot yet understand whether the object is cold or hot in his hand. "Our main goal is to create a system that moves and feels like a real hand," says Gaunt. "There is still a lot of work ahead, but a start has been made."
