Comments on the article
Focus Description:
This trick belongs to the category of tricks in which the handkerchief "appears" or "disappears". First you need to learn how to fold the handkerchief so that it appears out of thin air in your hands. Then you'll learn the tricks to make the handkerchief "disappear" right out of your hands.
Focus secret:
For this trick, it is best to use a handkerchief made of pure silk (a type of handkerchief sold in a magician's shop called "silk"). A silk scarf is easy to fold in a special way: how to do this is described below. Easily unfolding in the hands, "silk" can be easily squeezed and placed in a very small volume, which means it is easy to hide, both when "appearing" and "disappearing".
A. Spread the handkerchief on the table in front of you.
B. Fold corners A and B towards the center of the scarf. The base of corners A and B must lie exactly at the center.
C. Then grasp the handkerchief at the X and Y points. Fold the edges so that the X and Y points touch. The scarf becomes narrower with each next step.
D. Continue to fold the handkerchief in the same way until the width of the folded handkerchief is about 7 cm.
E. Now fold the handkerchief, putting the right side on the left. Its width will be about 3 cm.
F. Turn the lower end of the scarf to the right by 2 cm. A protrusion T is formed.
G. Starting at the bottom of the scarf, roll it tightly so that the tab T sticks out of the roll. You need to roll the entire scarf until a tight tiny roll is formed.
H. Tuck the top "loose" end of the handkerchief into the left side of the round cylinder (that is, away from the "protrusion"). You can fill it between the folds with a match or any appropriate device of your choice.
I. You are holding a handkerchief in the form of a small cylinder that will not roll out until the time comes to present it to the public.
1. Your handkerchief is rolled into a compact cylinder and you are ready to start the show. Secretly place it in your hand. It can be kept on the table, hidden behind some object used in another trick, and then picked up by hand, laying the props on the table after completing the previous trick. Taking the cylinder in your hand, firmly hold its protrusion T between your thumb and palm. The hand should be relaxed and look natural, as it should be with an empty hand. The back of the brush should be facing the audience, and no one will notice that there is something in the hand.
2. If the handkerchief is hidden in the right hand, then it is necessary to demonstrate its "appearance" to the audience, standing to the audience with the right side. The "appearance" of the handkerchief is made as follows: straighten your fingers and sharply pull the brush back at the wrist. The cylinder will immediately open and turn around. You will instantly have a handkerchief in your hand, which you hold with your thumb pressed against your palm.
3. Quickly bend the fingers of your right hand and grab the handkerchief between your index and middle fingers.
4. Straighten your fingers, turning the hand palm up. The audience will see that you are holding the handkerchief at one end with the index and middle fingers of your right hand. This completes the procedure.

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 Rules for testing robotic vehicles
25.05.2014
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (USA) has published a set of rules in accordance with which autopilot vehicles must be tested on public roads.
Research in the field of creating robotic vehicles that can move without human intervention is carried out by many companies, in particular Google, Ford, Toyota and Volvo. For example, Google has been testing self-driving cars on the public roads of some US states for quite some time, and recently such vehicles, thanks to the efforts of Volvo, appeared in the Swedish city of Gothenburg.
The California rules will go into effect September 16, 2014. They contain requirements for registration of robotic vehicles, insurance, testing and provision of information to regulators.
Companies involved in the development of robotic vehicles will need to provide positive test results in a controlled environment. Drivers in the cabin of such cars will have to take additional training courses that take into account the features and specifics of the operation of vehicles with an autopilot.
During the movement of robotic vehicles on public roads, a person must always be behind the wheel, ready to take control at any time.
Insurance must be $ 5 million. Any incidents related to cars with autopilot, their developers are required to report within 10 days to the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Information about the reasons why the driver was forced to turn off the autopilot system should also be sent there.
