Focus Description:

The magician shows an empty photo frame. Having covered the frame with a cloth, he takes a deck of cards from the table and invites the viewer to choose a card from the deck. The spectator is then asked to loudly name the card he has taken.

The magician turns to the frame and removes the fabric. The audience sees a Giant Card that has magically appeared in the frame. A giant card in value and suit corresponds to the one chosen by the viewer!

Focus secret:

A. You will need an ordinary photo frame, which you will convert into a magic frame. Take a frame into which photos of 20x25 cm are inserted with a cardboard backing and glass. Unfold the frame so that the open end is on top. To do this, you need to remove the support attached to the back of the cardboard, and fix the support again in such a way that the frame stands like a regular one, but upside down (the place where the photo is inserted is on top).

C. Cut out a piece of black opaque fabric the same width as the cardboard. The length of this piece of fabric should be 2-5 cm longer than the length of cardboard B. This piece of fabric is called the "flap".

C. Glue the same piece of the same fabric as the "shutter" onto the cardboard or dye it black.

D. Attach the Giant Card to the center of Cardboard B on the side facing the room.

E. Assemble the frame as shown. A black cardboard box with a giant map attached to it is inserted into the frame. Carefully cover the black cardboard with a flap. Insert glass in front of the damper. The "shutter" should protrude sufficiently from the top of the frame so that you can later pull it out.

F. The frame now looks empty from the front, thanks to the "shutter" behind which you hid the Giant Card.

G. Place the frame on the table, making sure that the protruding "shutter" fabric is tucked behind the frame and not visible.

H. Now you need a beautiful piece of fabric or a large handkerchief. It should be large enough to completely cover the frame. Place the folded handkerchief and a regular deck of cards on the table in front of the frame.

I. You must place a duplicate of the Giant card in the correct place in the deck in order to use the "Forced Choice" method that you prefer. You are ready for the show.

1. Take a deck of cards from the table and invite the spectator to choose a card. Carry out the "Forced Selection" operation of a card that matches the suit and value of the Giant card hidden in the frame. Use any procedure "Forced selection" at your discretion.

2. After the appropriate card is "chosen" (imposed), put the remaining cards into the case. Ask the spectator to hide the chosen card in his pocket (or somewhere else) so that you cannot even accidentally see what card it is.

3. Then draw the audience's attention to the empty frame on the table and cover it with a cloth.

4. Ask the spectator to take a card out of his pocket and say aloud for the first time which card he has chosen.

5. The card is named and you remove the handkerchief from the frame. Grasping the handkerchief, grab the upper edge of the "shutter" through the fabric of the handkerchief and, removing the handkerchief, pull the "shutter" out of the frame. The shutter will be hidden in the handkerchief, and the audience will be surprised by the sudden appearance of the "chosen" card in the frame. With a casual gesture, put the handkerchief with the secret "shutter" aside. Let the spectator take out a "freely chosen" card from his pocket and confirm once more that it matches the Giant Card on display!

Focus Magic Card Frame

If you don't have the right frame, you can always find one at your nearest photography supply store. These frames are called "Photo Frame" or "Diploma Frame". The frame itself is made of metal and already has a cardboard backing and glass. The bottom of the frame is open so that both glass and cardboard can be removed from it. Turn the frame over and according to the steps from A to G, make a magic frame.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

Optimism is not inherent from birth 30.08.2016

It is believed that people are naturally prone to optimism about themselves: we underestimate the likelihood that bad things can happen to us, and, on the contrary, overestimate the likelihood of good things. It seems that this is the case, especially since many psychological studies say the same.

In the experiment of Ulrike Hahn (Ulrike Hahn) from the University of London and her colleagues, 13 people participated, who were supposed to rank several dozen possible events in their lives on a probability scale. The events were happy, starting from finding money on the street and ending with a healthy child in the family, and unhappy (robbery, serious illness, etc.).

Happy events seemed more likely to everyone - it really seems to us that we will never be robbed on the street, that we will never get cancer, and that children will be smart, healthy and happy. We repeat, this can be explained by psychological quirks inherent in the imperfect human mind.

In the study, in addition to people, a computer participated - a special program that was supposed to impartially assess the likelihood of an event depending on the general objective statistics on it. (That is, the program was required to do the same thing as people: based on statistical figures, for example, on robberies, to assume how likely it is that you yourself will be among the robbed.) And it turned out that the program also suffers from innate optimism: its " opinion" about the probability of fortunate and unfortunate events strongly resembled the human one.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that good things are more likely to happen than bad things. As a result, only one explanation remains - that the optimistic bias is due to errors in methods that operate on statistics and probability.
