Focus Description:

On the stage, in addition to a small table, there is also a chair with a solid back.

Having greeted those present, the artist takes a small tablecloth lying there from the table and, going up to the ramp, shows the audience both sides of it, throws it up and catches it, thereby demonstrating that this is an ordinary tablecloth without "secrets". Then he throws a tablecloth over the back of a chair and returns to the ramp. Addressing the audience, the presenter says that in front of them is not an ordinary tablecloth, but a "self-assembled tablecloth", which is described only in fairy tales. "I see that some comrades are smiling, they do not believe me. Well, well, let's see what they say later."

The artist takes a salt shaker from the table and, having sprinkled the tablecloth with "magic powder", hides the salt shaker in the right pocket of his jacket. Then, grabbing the center of the tablecloth with his left hand, he lifts it up. The tablecloth, falling in folds, forms a kind of cone. The magician's right hand penetrates inside this cone, but not through the gaps between the folds, but always from the bottom of the cone, and the artist takes out a plastic bag from there, tied with a bright ribbon, which is filled with nuts. The package is placed on the table, the artist, holding the tablecloth at two corners, turns it, showing both sides to the audience, and then throws it over the back of the chair and, taking a salt shaker from his pocket, sprinkles the tablecloth with "magic powder". Then he puts the salt shaker on the table and, taking a bag of nuts, goes down to the hall and treats the guys. "Well, skeptics, are nuts good?" he asks his viewers.

Focus secret:

The trick is very simple, and its secret is clear from Fig. 20, where you can see that the bag of nuts is hung in advance by the magician on a small wire hook (painted to match the wood) behind the back of the chair. Throwing a tablecloth over a chair, the artist tried to put its center over the hook, and when he took off the tablecloth, he grabbed the hook with it in his left hand; thus the nuts fell under the cone of the tablecloth.

The first time the illusionist sprinkled the tablecloth with "magic powder" in order for the public to understand that it was for this that he threw the tablecloth over the chair, and the second time he used the salt shaker so that, taking it out of his pocket, he could leave the hook there, which he had previously hid in his right hand and which he needed to get rid of.

The simpler the trick, the more artistry it requires from the performer. The trick described here absolutely does not tolerate fussiness and excessive haste in execution. When rehearsing, pay special attention to this.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

What do computers breathe? 17.12.2009

According to a group of British experts, in 2007 computers, printers, other peripheral devices, cell phones and other modern information devices were responsible for the emission of 830 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which leads to climate warming.

That's about 2% of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions, the same amount as all of the world's aviation. A quarter of "computer" CO2 occurs in the production of this electronic equipment, three quarters - in the process of its use, due to the consumption of electricity, obtained mainly by burning oil and coal.

Experts predict that until 2020, when every third person will acquire a personal computer, and every second inhabitant of the Earth will acquire a mobile phone, the volume of these emissions will grow by 6% annually. After 2020, emissions growth will slow down due to the saturation of the electronics market.
