Focus Description:

If you can overspend and at the same time save it, then this, of course, is real magic, the ability to combine the incompatible, which you will do with six dollars in your hand, or at least everyone will think that you have done it. The best part of this trick is the reaction of the audience, whose surprise increases with each repetition of the trick, which is quite unusual, since, as a rule, most tricks lose their effect after the first performance. Because of this, the "Six Dollars in Hand" trick is a gem of any program that you will quickly discover for yourself once you learn it.

The magician takes out his wallet from the inside pocket of his jacket and takes out several dollar bills from it. He counts them one by one, and the audience sees: he has six dollars in his hands. Having handed over three banknotes to the table, the magician draws the attention of the audience to the fact that, according to the laws of arithmetic, he has three dollars left in his hands. After all, whatever one may say, six minus three is three, right? Of course, so, but not in this case: the magician counts the bills again, and everyone is clearly convinced that he still has six dollars in his hands - six dollar bills. The performer again counts three bills on the table - and again he magically has six in his hands. This continues until an impressive pile of paper money grows on the table.

Focus secret:

Let's assume that you are working with requisite money, although you can prepare real bills in the same way.

A. The secret lies in four specially prepared bills that you will make in the form of an envelope. First of all, cut off the corner of the bill.

B. Place the bill with the corner cut off with the whole side next to the regular bill. A regular bill should be placed face down, and a cut bill should be placed face up.

C. Glue the bills together with a strip of transparent adhesive tape along the side edges.

D. Fold two bills at the gluing point, and glue them with the same tape along the bottom edge of the resulting envelope. Now you have an envelope of bills. Note. To avoid the duct tape being seen, fold it in half with the sticky side out and stick the edges on the inside of the bills.

E. Insert three ordinary bills of the same denomination into the “envelope”. Make sure they are facing the right direction and that the pattern on the “cover” matches the pattern of the enclosed bills exactly.

F. Make three of these envelopes and put three regular bills in each.

G. Take four full envelopes and add two regular bills to them, which you put on the side of the audience.

H. Straighten the stack of bills stacked so that the bill with the diagonally cut corner is facing you. Put this wad of cash in your wallet or in a real business letter envelope and you're ready to present.

Focus Six dollars in hand

1. Take out a wad of money from your wallet and take it in your left hand. Deliberately slowly count the bills one at a time in your right hand, while maintaining the existing stacking order.

2. At the end of the count, you hold six dollar bills in your right hand, with four prepared envelopes on your side of the pack.

3. Straighten the pack and transfer it to your left hand.

4. Now count out three regular bills, pulling them out of the top "envelope" one at a time. Count them one at a time, saying out loud "one, two, three" as you place them on the table.

5. An empty "envelope" was left on your side of the pack. Transfer it to the other side, to the side facing the audience, and click on the stack with your fingers with the words: "By shifting the bill to a new place and snapping my fingers, I magically double the amount of money left in my hands."

6. Then deliberately slowly, as before (step 1), count the bills, demonstrating that they have magically multiplied to six.

7. It is very important to keep the order of stacking "envelopes" and banknotes during the "counting". In other words, counting from your side, you should first have three "charged" envelopes in your hands, then two regular bills, and after them an empty envelope. In the figure, the pack is specially expanded so that you can see the position of the envelopes and banknotes in the pack at the moment of the procedure.

8. The process continues until all envelopes have been emptied. On the table grew a slide of twelve brand new dollar bills, magically appearing "out of nowhere". The impact of the trick increases with each repetition of the trick, which is quite rare in tricks. But in this case, the amazement of the audience increases steadily.

The trick is very effective, and the props are easy to make, and can be shown to a large audience. The entertainment value of a trick largely depends on the story that accompanies it, which you can compose yourself. An example of this is the following monologue:

"In a shop window, I noticed an advertisement for Mark Wilson's Encyclopedia of Tricks. The advertisement said that in one of the tricks that I would master when I read the Encyclopedia, they would teach me how to count: one - two - three - four - five - six dollars - then set aside one - two - three bills - and leave one - two - three - four - five - six dollars on hand. it is possible to count one - two - three - four - five - six dollars, put aside one - two - three in reserve and at the same time leave one - two - three - four - five - six bills on hand. Mark Wilson, I practiced for a long time, but I learned to count one - two - three - four - five - six bills, put aside one - two - three in reserve, leaving one - two - three - four - five - six dollars in my hands. At this point, you have already taken dollars from three envelopes, and you have only one full one left. You continue: "And now I will share with you a secret. To begin with, stock up not with one - two - three - four - five - six dollars, but have in your hands one - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight - nine bills. Here's a secret for you." The last count to nine - comedy ending - spend by counting three dollars from the last envelope, and then throw one and one bill at a time on the table - envelopes.

Note. As you count the last bills up to nine, place them with the cut side on the table so that the audience does not notice their unusualness.

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 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.

indoor horse 04.01.2004

The Japanese company "Matsushita" has released a "room horse" on which you can train in the art of riding at home or in the gym.

The horse, nicknamed Joba (translated from Japanese as "riding"), is capable of performing all the movements of a real one, except for kicking or throwing the rider off his back. More than 15 thousand copies have already been sold, although the price, depending on the modification, ranges from one thousand to one and a half thousand dollars.

Doctors have shown that Joba trains the rider's muscles well, especially the spinal ones, and helps restore health after a stroke. Training on a house horse also improves the condition of diabetics.
