Focus Description:

On the illusion table is an ordinary champagne bottle and a glass. The performer fills the glass and drinks the drink. Then the performer wraps the bottle in a newspaper and begins to pull out of it, one by one, colorful silk scarves (Fig. 9, A). Pulling out the last handkerchief (and he took out quite a lot of them), the performer suddenly vigorously crumples the newspaper along with the bottle and throws aside a loose newspaper lump that he no longer needs.

Focus secret:

Paper bottle. It should look like a real champagne bottle. Such a bottle is made of black glossy paper, which can be purchased at any stationery store. It must be glued from two components - this will facilitate the manufacture (Fig. 9, B).

When both parts of the bottle are ready, a second inner neck is placed inside its upper part in the neck area, which is glued together with acetone from a photographic film rolled into a tube. The upper part of the tube remains free, and an ordinary nipple is put on the lower part (Fig. 9, C). The diameter of this tube is slightly smaller than the diameter of the neck of the bottle, and in terms of capacity it should hold about a glass of water. So that this inner neck does not hang around inside the bottle and does not fall to the bottom, it must be fixed with the help of an inner bottom, which is cut out and put on the tube close to the nipple (Fig. 9, D). Now the tube can be placed at the top of the bottle so that the edge of the inner neck is 1-1,2 cm below the neck of the bottle, and the inner bottom fits snugly against the inside of the upper half of the bottle (Fig. 9, E).

Then it is necessary to cut the edges of the upper half of the bottle with cloves so that when gluing it with the lower part, there are no folds and wrinkles, and fasten both halves of the bottle. When it is ready and equipped with all the necessary external decorations (label, silver paper), several colorful silk scarves are pushed into its lower part from the bottom side (Fig. 9, E). After that, you need to cut the bottom out of thin cardboard and slightly push it inside the bottle.

Just before the performance, the desired drink is poured into the upper part of the bottle (Fig. 9, G). Now the bottle can be put together with the glass on the illusion table.

The demonstration of focus is as follows. The performer pours the contents of the bottle into the glass and drinks it. He then wraps the bottle in newspaper and turns it upside down without the audience noticing. The bottom of the bottle is easy to open. The artist pulls out one by one the handkerchiefs in the bottle. As soon as the last handkerchief is taken out, the magician can safely crumple the newspaper in his hands along with the bottle and throw this lump into the corner of the stage - there will be no fragments from such a "bottle".

The inconvenience of this trick is that the bottle must be made for each performance. Therefore, we recommend preparing several bottles at once for ten to fifteen performances in advance.

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 ... >>

The most necessary sciences 28.02.2012

The American Wall Street Journal published a list of professions requiring higher education, indicating the percentage of unemployed among those who chose such a specialization and its rating among applicants.

The journal considered 173 specialties. It is curious that the most scarce scientific specialties are at the same time the least popular among young people. So, there are no unemployed among astronomers and pharmacologists, but astronomy is 170th in the ranking, and pharmacology is 169th (despite the fact that pharmacologists have one of the highest salaries on the list). Low unemployment among meteorologists and specialists in atmospheric physics - 1,6%, but the rating - 146. Unemployed among physicists - 2,5%, the popularity of this science - 157th place.

Mathematics and computer specialties are even less popular - the rating is 158, but unemployment in them is only 3,5%. Unemployed botanists and agronomists counted 2,7%, the popularity of the profession - 85. Geology, geophysics, seismology, volcanology in 153rd place in the rankings, and unemployment among geologists - 3,2%.

The maximum share of the unemployed was among bibliologists - 15%, the profession in 159th place in popularity. The most popular specialty among students is business and management (1st place), unemployed - 6%.
