Focus Description:

The so-called "magic" wand is an essential accessory for a magician. She came from old fairy tales - wizards in fairy tales often worked their "miracles" with the help of "magic" wands. The presence of a "magic" wand helps the artist in demonstrating tricks.

In order to somehow justify her appearance, the performer can show the following trick, which will convince the audience that the wand is really "magic".

The performer approaches the illusion table and takes a small stick lying on it. Outwardly, the wand looks ordinary, and, of course, none of the audience will believe that it is "magic". But suddenly the wand in the artist's hand crawled up. The audience is surprised: after all, the stick is literally torn from the performer's hand and rapidly flies into the air. Yes, it seems that the wand is really "magic".

Focus secret:

The main prop of this trick is a wand. Making it is quite easy. The stick should be wooden, approximately 20-25 cm long and 1-1,5 cm in diameter (Fig. 1).

Focus Magic Wand
Ris.1

In the middle of the stick, you need to drill a hole with a diameter of 0,5-0,7 cm. Then the stick should be covered with black ink or varnish of the same color. The ends of the stick should be painted with white paint to make it more beautiful. Then pick up two buttons of the same diameter as the stick. Buttons must certainly be with upekami.

In addition to the listed items, you will also need a piece of nipple gum, the length of which should be equal to the length of the stick.

The preparation of the focus is as follows: the elastic is pushed through the stick, buttons are attached to its ends, so that the elastic is slightly stretched (see Fig. 1). At the top, the button should be fastened tightly and carefully disguised.

When demonstrating the trick, the stick must be taken in the right hand and, holding it vertically, imperceptibly pull the elastic band by the bottom button about three-quarters of the length of the stick. The hand, of course, must be held so that the elastic band is not visible to the audience.

The button should be clamped with the thumb (fig. 20). During the demonstration of the trick, the artist should stand half-turned to the audience, trying not to turn his back on them, so as not to arouse distrust in himself.

Ris.2

To demonstrate the "magic" actions of the wand, which the performer holds before the start of the trick, as shown in Fig. 3, it is enough to release it slightly, and it will freely crawl up. If the palm is quickly unclenched, then the stick will rapidly fly up into the air (Fig. 4).

This trick is recommended to be shown by the way, in order to justify the name of the wand - "magic".

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

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 ... >>

Profession choice - by genes 06.04.2010

In one of the schools in Sichuan Province (PRC), genetic testing of children for early career guidance has been introduced.

By swiping a cotton swab along the inner surface of the cheek, the student receives epithelial cells of the oral cavity, on which 11 different genes are analyzed. Among them, for example, genes associated with aggressiveness, enterprise, emotional instability, curiosity for everything new. By the presence and degree of expression of such genes, they try to recommend a future profession to the child.

True, serious geneticists believe that such a test says little and may even be harmful to the fate of the child.
