Focus Description:

This trick can be called a funny combination of a trick and a riddle. After watching, every viewer tries to repeat it, and if someone succeeds, then don’t let it bother you, luck will give all viewers no less pleasure than your performance.

You show the audience two paper clips and a dollar bill. Then fold the bill into thirds and use paper clips to secure the folds in place. Next, you begin to slowly stretch the folded bill, and the paper clips move closer and closer to each other. With a sharp jerk you complete the stretch, the paper clips fly off the bill and fall onto the table, connected in a chain of two links!

Focus secret:

The trick happens almost automatically. It depends entirely on the correct placement of the staples. Rehearse it until you can place the paperclips where they are needed, quickly and accurately, so that the audience does not have time to notice how it is done, and therefore cannot repeat it.

1. First, you hold the bill unfolded with both hands.

2. Fold a third of the bill to the right.

3. Secure the fold by putting on a paper clip, and put it on completely, until it stops.

4. The paperclip should be located at the very edge of the fold, exactly above the number indicating the denomination of the bill.

5. Turn the bill back to you, but do not turn it upside down; the paperclip should still be on top.

6. Fold the left side of the bill to the right.

7. Place another paper clip on top of the fold, which will hold the second fold and only the second: you only need to fasten this fold to the main part of the bill.

8. Again, the paperclip should be located at the edge of the bill above the number indicating its denomination.

9. Note. If both paper clips are placed correctly, the bill should look like this.

10. Grasp both edges of the bill near the top and begin to stretch it. The bill will begin to unfold, and the paper clips will move towards each other, remaining on the bill.

11. When the paper clips are almost on top of each other, sharply pull the edges of the bill.

12. The bill will unroll completely, and the paper clips will fall on the table, connected together!

This trick looks especially impressive if you use large paper clips that are both longer and wider than usual - in this case it is easy to see how they stick together. If the paper clips are ordinary, then the jerk should not be strong, otherwise they will fly over the edge of the table and fall to the floor - the effect will not be the same.

With practice, soon placing paper clips in precise positions will become easy and quick. With regular paper clips, you can place two paper clips on top and two on the bottom. When jerked, they will fly apart in different directions, and you will get two bonded pairs.

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 attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

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. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food.
