EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Torn and restored paper napkin. Focus Secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: Showing two paper napkins, the magician announces that he intends to teach the audience how to do the trick. He crumples one napkin into a paper ball and shows how to secretly hold such a ball in his left hand, while explaining that the crumpled napkin is secret: it is assumed that none of the spectators should know about it. Then he tears another napkin into several pieces, then explains the secret. The magician shows how he substitutes a secret for a torn napkin in a witty way. He even uncovers the secret napkin, ostensibly to show how the torn parts were restored to the whole napkin. To viewers who believe they have indeed been told the secret of the trick, he warns: never let anyone see the torn pieces of tissue in your hand. The performer explains that if this happens, it will become necessary to magically restore these shreds into a whole napkin. With these words, the magician unfolds the torn pieces, proving by deed that he has magically restored them into a whole napkin! And only at this moment the audience realizes that all this time the magician was playing a completely different performance. Focus secret: A. For this performance, you need three identical paper napkins. In the description we have labeled them 1, 2 and 3. Spread out two fully opened napkins (1 and 2), with napkin 2 lying on top of napkin 1. Crumple the third napkin into a ball and place it down at the center of the edge on the unfolded napkins.
B. Starting at the bottom, roll two unfolded napkins into a tube that will hide the third napkin. You are now ready to show the torn and repaired napkin focus.
1. Take the "tube" in your right hand near the middle. Hold it so that end B is on top and through the two top wipes (1 and 2) hold the napkin 3 with your fingers. With your left hand, grasp the edges of the napkins and begin to unfold the unfolded napkins 1 and 2. With your fingers, you feel the presence of the napkin 3 inside in the process of unfolding the tube . When the tube unfolds completely, the inner crumpled napkin 3 should be in the fingers of the right hand, not noticed by the audience.
2. Separate the unfolded napkins by taking one napkin (1) in your left hand and the other napkin (2) in your right. Announce to the public that "teach everyone how to perform tricks."
3. Explain that one of the two napkins is "hidden" and must be hidden in the magician's left hand until the appropriate moment. Saying this, you crumple napkin 1 into a ball with your left hand and hide it in the half-bent fingers of the left hand (just like the third napkin 3 is already hidden in the half-bent fingers of the right hand, the existence of which the public does not suspect). You explain further that the "secret" napkin should be "secretly" placed in the magician's left hand and held there for the entire trick procedure.
4. Continuing to explain, you say that the trick begins with tearing the napkin into several pieces - and demonstrate this by rolling the shreds into a small ball.
5. Napkin 2 is held by the fingertips - this is a torn napkin, napkin 1 in the left hand is a "secret" napkin, you told the public about it, and napkin 3 in the right hand is a napkin that only you know about.
6. You complete the story by rolling the torn pieces into a ball and secretly adding to them the whole napkin 3 that was in your right hand.
7. You show the audience both napkins (2 and 3) together, as if it were one ball rolled from scraps of a torn napkin. Demonstrating "scraps" - but in fact, scraps of napkin 2 and a whole napkin 3 - unfold your right hand at ease so that the audience can see that it is empty. This is a very important element of focus. With it, you prove the purity of execution so that they will not even suspect the existence of a third napkin.
8. Pretend to roll all the scraps (napkins 2 and 3) into a very small ball. Rolling, secretly, slide the torn shreds down with your thumb under the cover of the fingers of your right hand. As a result, you will have only a whole napkin 3 in the fingertips of your right hand.
9. Pass the ball of the whole napkin 3 to the fingertips of the left hand, as if shifting the rolled pieces.
10. Note. The audience is sure that you transferred the scraps that you just rolled into a ball in front of their eyes into your left hand. This is how the public sees this operation.
11. Explain to the audience that when showing this trick to friends, everyone should get a coin from their right pocket, which in this case plays the role of a "magic wand". Put your right hand in your pocket and take out the coin, leaving the pieces of napkin in your pocket 2.
12. Note. The audience has no idea, because you gave a logically flawless explanation of your action: hand in pocket. This is a very important element that should be an integral part of any procedure. Every action must be justified. Otherwise, suspicions will arise that will blur the effect: the result will not be amazing. 13. At this point, the public still believes that you are holding the scraps of napkin with the fingertips of your left hand, and the "secret" whole napkin is hidden in the half-bent fingers of the same hand. In fact, both napkins in the left hand (both 1 and 2) are intact.
14. You will tell the audience that the real reason you need to get a coin out of your pocket is to divert attention from the magician's left hand so that he can make a "substitution". Explain that the audience watches as the right hand goes into the pocket, allowing the left hand to do the "dirty work". 15. Openly demonstrate this "dirty work" (substitution) as follows: slowly fold the fingers of your left hand down ...
16... pulling "supposedly scraps" of napkins under them 3.
17. Then push the "secret" napkin 1 up with your thumb and ...
18... bring it to your fingertips with your ring finger and little finger. Do this procedure slowly and separately, turning the left hand with the palm towards the audience, in order to visually show how the "substitution" is made.
19. Explain to the audience that at the moment of this particular action, at the moment of "substitution", the magician takes a coin out of his pocket with his right hand. Then "magically" touch the coin to the napkin and put it in your pocket.
20. So, you tell the audience, it remains only to open the "secret" napkin and show that it has recovered - and you do it.
21. Warn the audience that they must be very careful and attentive: it is impossible for anyone to see the scraps hidden in the right hand at the moment when the performer unfolds the napkin, otherwise the performer will find himself in a very awkward position. And there is only one way to save yourself from embarrassment, if this happens.
22. In such a situation, the magician has only one thing to do: restore the scraps into a whole napkin. With these words, unfold the ball of napkin 3, which the public considers to be rolled up scraps, and show an absolutely whole napkin! And only now the audience will understand that again you deceived them!
23. Take a napkin in each hand and lift both (1 and 3). Show that there is nothing in your right or left hand, and throw whole napkins to the audience: let them check. Author: Mark Wilson
