Card manipulation. Tips for a magician

Spectacular tricks and their clues

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Volts are the basis of many card tricks. Here is one of them. The magician invites the viewer to draw from the deck and remember (without showing the artist) any card. When the card is taken out, the manipulator opens the deck somewhere in the middle, holding half of it in the left and the other in the right hand (Fig. 13, A).

In the middle of the deck opened in this way, the viewer puts the card he noticed, and the artist closes it with the cards in his right hand, and at that moment he manages to do an instant manipulation - a volt, from which the seen card is at the top of the deck. Further, the magician acts with this card at his own discretion, as required by the technology of the displayed trick.

Focus Card Manipulation
Ris.13

Volt is made as follows: on the card that the spectator put, the magician immediately puts his left little finger and index finger, and puts the middle and ring fingers of this hand on top of the entire deck (Fig. 13, B). Spectators do not see this, since the deck is hidden from them by the right hand of the manipulator lying on top of it. Under its cover, the fingers of the left hand, grasping the upper part of the deck, raise it to the position indicated in fig. 13, C, and the fingers of the right, grabbing the lower part of the deck at points a and b, lift it in the direction indicated by the dotted arrow in the figure; lifting this part of the deck by 75-80 °, the left hand lowers the part of the deck in it, which falls down, and the lower part of the deck with the right hand falls on top of it, and the card seen by the viewer is at the top of the deck.

The description of this manipulation took up a lot of space, and it lasts no more than one second. This manipulation must be able to be done without looking at the hands (however, like all manipulations). When making a volt, the magician slightly raises and lowers the hands holding the deck, that is, he makes a short wave of the deck and at this moment manages to perform the manipulation. During the swing, it is even more difficult for viewers to notice the manipulation.

Learn to palm, that is, hide the card in the palm of your hands (Fig. 14). This is a relatively simple technique and it is done like this. The deck of cards is held in the left hand, and the card to be palmed lies on top (how this is achieved, you know from the previous description). The magician puts his right hand on top of the deck - this movement should be natural and justified - and at this moment the thumb of his left hand shifts the top card 1-2 cm to the right; the shifted card will be easily palmed in the palm of the right hand.

By mastering only these two manipulations, you can show quite a lot of different tricks. The manipulator should be aware that magicians work with decks of 32 cards (without sixes) - such a deck is simply more convenient to handle; it is desirable that the cards have rounded corners, and most importantly, the cards must match the size of the magician's hand, that is, his palm should completely cover the deck and be slightly larger than it - when buying cards, pay special attention to this.

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 ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Video surveillance in Moscow schools 29.04.2012

Schools will be connected to the Moscow city video surveillance system. By the end of the year, cameras that will monitor security in schoolyards will be installed in 30% of the educational institutions of the capital, Artyom Yermolaev, head of the Department of Information Technologies of the capital, said at a conference with school principals on the introduction of information technologies in education.

Electronic student cards, the introduction of which has begun in 200 pilot educational institutions of the capital, will help track the visits of outsiders and establish control over school attendance. The student will be asked to present their card to a special validator at the entrance and exit of the school. At the request of the family, information about the student's movements will be sent to the parents' mobile phone.

Electronic cards are also planned to be used for non-cash payments in the canteen and food accounting for beneficiaries. At the same time, the child's relatives will be able to control the time of eating and see the school menu. In the future, the student's temporary cards will be replaced by the Universal Electronic Card, the launch of which at the federal level is scheduled for January 1, 2013. In order to take part in testing, the school administration must submit an application to the district education department.

The conference participants also discussed issues related to the introduction of electronic diaries and journals in schools. The deputy head of the Department of Education, Veniamin Kaganov, said the city would not object to the complete elimination of paper diaries if the school is fully confident in the sustainability of its electronic processes. At the same time, he asked institutions that have not yet begun to introduce electronic diaries to decide by the beginning of the next academic year.

The head of DIT Artyom Ermolaev noted that the city-wide system dnevnik.mos.ru will be actively developed, which will not only allow you to comfortably start working with electronic diaries from scratch, but also help to seamlessly integrate those disparate solutions that are already in educational institutions. A Department of Education spokesman said that a recent study by the department found a correlation between how actively a school communicates with parents through electronic diary systems and the level of satisfaction with the quality of education in a particular school. Representatives of the pedagogical community confirmed that the new tools do not destroy the traditional communication with parents, but make the interaction more constructive and intense.

The participants of the discussion emphasized that the introduction of new electronic services in education is financed from the city budget and is free for both schools and parents.

To cope with the influx of modern technology in schools - last year alone, a computer class was updated in 500 educational institutions, and 27 subject teachers received personal laptops - the launch of a unified technical support service will help, on the website of which you can also check the schedule for entering the school purchased by the city equipment.
