Focus Description:

Among the magician's props on his table is an ordinary rope, which is often needed in household use. The performer comes to the table, takes this rope and shows it to the audience. "Ordinary rope," the viewer thinks. And indeed, the artist confirms this by tying it into a knot, then folding it in half with a tourniquet (Fig. 1).

Focus Magic Rope
Ris.1

But since the rope appeared in the hands of a magician, then we must wait for a miracle. And the audience is closely watching what is happening, and the rope in the performer's hand suddenly stretches into a string and freezes in a vertical position (Fig. 2). Then the artist touches the middle of the segment of the unusual rope with his finger, and it turns into the letter "G" (see Fig. 2). As the performer touches this rope, she obediently writes out various figures.

Focus Magic Rope
Ris.2

Having made several figures, the rope takes on its former form. The artist finishes the demonstration of the trick and places the rope on the illusion table.

Focus secret:

Rope transformations seem like a miracle until you know the secret of this trick. But even after learning the secret, the trick cannot be immediately shown to the audience. It requires careful work.

For this number, you will need a piece of linen twisted (round) rope 100 cm long, a fishing line with a diameter of 0,2 cm and a length of 101 cm, and several dozen cylinders 1,5-2 cm long and 0,1 cm in diameter less than the diameter of the rope.

First of all, you should free the piece of rope from the internal threads. In other words, all the internal threads that fill the round rope must be pulled out of it.

After such an operation, only its upper cover, or "stocking", with a through hole along its entire length, will remain from the previous rope. Now we need to prepare several dozen cylinders made of aluminum, plastic or wood (Fig. 3).

Focus Magic Rope
Ris.3

The cylinders are strung on a piece of fishing line so that 1 cm remains free at both ends of the fishing line (see Fig. 32).

Then, on these peculiar beads, you need to pull the rope cover. Now the rope again takes on the appearance of a real one, but with the difference that instead of threads, it has cylinders inside it. They will form the basis of the rope. The cylinders inside the case should be at some distance from each other so that the rope can be freely tied into a knot and twisted with a bundle, like an ordinary one. The upper end of the rope must be fixed tightly, that is, fasten the fishing line and the case in such a way that they hold very firmly. The other end of the fishing line is tied to a white button with a metal eyelet with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the cylinders (see Fig. 3). The button should not slip inside the case when the line is pulled.

After the audience is convinced that the performer has a regular rope in his hands, you can proceed to show the number. The artist takes in his hand the end of the rope to which the button is attached. Holding the button between the little finger and the ring (or middle) fingers, the performer pulls the line, sliding the thumb and forefinger along it. Such a movement of the fingers will press the cylinders tightly against each other, and the rope will freeze in a vertical position (Fig. 4).

Focus Magic Rope
Ris.4

To depict the figure of the letter "G" with a rope, it is enough for the performer to touch it a little above the middle with the index finger of his free hand (conditionally right), and with the left to loosen the tension of the fishing line. The cylinders at the point of contact will disperse and the upper part of the rope will lower, depicting the desired figure.

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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Reliable SRAM memory with Hardsil technology 02.02.2015

Although most semiconductor products operate in relatively comfortable environments, there are applications that require increased reliability, resistance to high temperatures and other harmful factors.

Silicon Space Technology (SST) announced that its 18Mbps SRAM chips, manufactured using Hardsil's proprietary technology, have successfully passed performance testing at 250°C.

At the specified temperature, they worked without a single error for more than 1400 hours. During this time, 65 trillion read operations were performed. According to the manufacturer, this is a landmark achievement for the industry, setting a new bar for reliability standards for hardened microcircuits.

For comparison, the maximum temperature for which ordinary microcircuits are designed does not exceed 125°C, and in most cases even 70-85°C.

Microcircuits manufactured using SST Hardsil technology are designed for use in the oil and gas, aerospace and automotive industries. SST's "hardened" chips are said to provide related electronic equipment with trouble-free operation in real-life conditions for many years.

In addition to SRAM memory, the manufacturer offers ARM Cortex series processors and evaluation boards with them.
