EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Focus with a magic wand. Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: The magician takes a sheet of paper torn from an ordinary notebook from the illusion table and rolls it into a small bag (Fig. 1).
Then the artist pretends that he, trying supposedly to be unnoticed by the audience, takes something out of his pocket and puts it in a bag. The audience, of course, notice this and do not believe the words of the artist when he says that the bag is completely empty. The audience is asked to open the bag. The artist fulfills their request, holding one hand clenched into a fist. Now the audience sees an empty bag, and their suspicions fall on the clenched fist of the performer. Then the magician has to show what is hidden in the fist. Again, pretending that he shifted something from this hand to another, the performer shows the one that was clenched into a fist. There is nothing in the hand. The audience is completely intrigued. Finally, the artist reassures the audience by showing that he has nothing in his bag and in his hands. After that, the performer rolls up the bag again. Holding it in his hand, he shows the audience that the bag is empty and he also has nothing in his hands. Then the artist takes his "magic" wand from the table, stirs it in an empty bag, and then gives the audience to inspect the wand. Spectators are convinced that the wand is the most ordinary, does not hide any secrets in itself, and returns it to the performer. Now the magician takes out a small bright handkerchief from his pocket and puts it in a bag, trying to push the handkerchief to the very bottom of the bag with a stick. Having unfolded the bag, the performer shows that the handkerchief has disappeared without a trace. Throwing away the piece of paper, the artist again lets the audience inspect his "magic" wand. And the handkerchief, mysteriously disappeared from the bag, suddenly appears in the performer's hand. Having shown it to the audience, the artist pushes it into his fist. Then he takes the stick from the audience, lightly touches it with the fist in which the handkerchief is hidden, and a "miracle" happens: the performer opens his fist, and the audience sees an empty palm. Focus secret: The main prop of this trick is also the wand; its size is the same as the size of the stick in the previous trick, that is, 20-25 cm. But this stick should be conical, like a drumstick or a pointer. Such a wooden stick becomes "magic" because a metal tip or cylinder is put on its thickened end (we will agree to call this end of the stick the front end). Therein lies the secret of focus. An ordinary tin sleeve can serve as a tip (Fig. 2). If a sleeve from a hunting cartridge is used, then the stick must be cylindrical. But it is best to make a conical stick and make a cone-shaped sleeve for it. It can be soldered from tin from an ordinary tin can. The sleeve should fit snugly on the stick. When the stick and sleeve are ready, they must be painted black, and first the entire stick is painted over, and then the sleeve. When the paint dries, the tip can be put on a stick.
Now for the demonstration of focus. First, the performer plays the audience, and then takes the bag in his left hand (bottom up), and in his right stick (see Fig. 2). The artist inserts the stick with the front end into the bag, showing the audience that it is empty. Turning the bag upside down (Fig. 3), the performer squeezes it with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand.
"Stirring" with a stick in a bag, the magician puts it under the arm of his left hand. At the moment of stirring, the tip of the stick should be left in the bag. Now the performer needs to take a handkerchief, put it in a bag and push the pointed side of the stick into the sleeve located in the bag (Fig. 4).
After that, the sleeve should be put on the stick again in the same place, inside the bag (see Fig. 4) and the stick should be put under the arm again (this is the most convenient and visible place). Now the bag is empty, it can be unfolded and shown to the audience. The sheet of paper from which the bag was made can also be given to one of the spectators for inspection. Next, the performer again takes the stick with his right hand, and with his left quietly removes the sleeve, leaving it in his left hand, and with his right hand puts the stick on the illusion table. After that, the artist calmly pulls a handkerchief out of the sleeve with his right hand, leaving it invisible in his left hand. Now he can go to the table for his "magic" wand, take it with his left hand and at that moment put on the wand the sleeve that was in his left hand. This must be done instantly and, of course, imperceptibly. Every movement of the artist must be justified, otherwise he will be exposed. The number can be ended by showing the audience the handkerchief that has appeared. Then it must be put on the table, show the audience both hands, touching the palms in turn with a stick, and put the stick next to the handkerchief on the table. You can demonstrate this focus and so. Having shown the audience a handkerchief, the artist puts it in his left hand (there is a cartridge case) and begins to push it into his fist with the index finger of his right hand (Fig. 5).
In reality, the handkerchief is pushed into the sleeve (Fig. 6).
As soon as the handkerchief is completely hidden in it, the artist takes the “magic” wand from the table and inserts it into the fist with the front end. The sleeve will easily fit on it. Now the performer can safely unclench his fist and run the wand across his empty palm, confirming the disappearance of the handkerchief (Fig. 7).
