EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES A wonderful glass. Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: There is a metal stand on the magician's table, on which stands an ordinary faceted glass (Fig. 1). The audience is convinced that the glass is without any secrets when the performer removes it from the stand and pours water into it.
Focuses on stage Then the artist throws out the water, puts the glass on a stand and covers the glass with a stand with a large handkerchief (also having previously shown the audience that nothing is hidden in the handkerchief). After that, the magician picks up a small red silk handkerchief and shows it to the audience. Having twisted this handkerchief into a ball, the performer puts it first in the right hand, and then passes it to the left. Clutching the handkerchief in his left palm, the performer goes to his table, takes the "magic" wand, runs it over the palm of his left hand clenched into a fist: the handkerchief has disappeared. The artist puts the stick back in place and shows the audience empty hands. Now the magician removes the handkerchief that covered the stand with the glass. To the surprise of the audience, the same red handkerchief that disappeared from the artist's hand turns out to be in the glass. Focus secret: A cut glass made of thick glass, a metal stand, a scarf measuring 40 x 40 cm and two red handkerchiefs measuring 25 x 25 cm - that's all the props of this room. As for the "magic" wand, it should always be on the table of the magician. The secret of the focus lies in the design of the glass and stand. A hole is made in the bottom of the glass, which the performer can pinch with his middle finger at the moment when he pours water into the glass (Fig. 2). The hole, of course, should not be larger than the ball of the artist's middle finger, otherwise water will seep through the hole and expose the magician.
The design of the stand is somewhat more complicated, but it is also very simple to make it. The support stand is made of a tube, inside of which there is a piston. A small pin is attached to this piston, which is brought out from the side through a special hole in the tube. In the upper part of the tube, the performer puts one of the small red handkerchiefs in advance (Fig. 3, a). When the artist covers a glass with a stand with a handkerchief, he imperceptibly presses on the pin. As a result, the piston rushes up the tube and with force pushes a red handkerchief through the hole in the glass, which was previously placed in the tube (Fig. 3, b).
Now the performer begins to manipulate the second red handkerchief. Taking it in his hands, the artist twists the handkerchief into a small ball and passes it to his right hand, pressing the ball with the base of his thumb to the palm of his hand. Then the magician makes a movement that imitates the transfer of a handkerchief from the right hand to the left. The attention of the audience naturally focuses on the left hand, which is clenched into an empty fist, while the handkerchief remains in the right hand of the performer. Approaching his table for a "magic" wand, the artist lowers the handkerchief into any of the sideboards available on the table. Taking a wand, the conjurer runs it over the palm of his left hand, clenched into a fist. Then he opens his hand, and the audience sees that the handkerchief has mysteriously disappeared. After that, the performer removes the handkerchief that covered the glass and stand, and takes out a red handkerchief from the glass. Manipulations with a handkerchief-double should be done naturally, gently and, of course, imperceptibly, so as not to expose yourself. Author: Akopyan A.A.
