EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Focus with ink. Focus secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: On a demonstration table, covered with a small tablecloth, there is a glass vessel of the type of a low glass, ink is poured into it. The artist takes a small metal tray from the desktop, goes up to the ramp, taps it, clicking on it with his fingernail, and shows the audience both sides of it. Then he puts the tray on the demonstration table under the vessel with ink, thus isolating it from contact with the table, where any "secret devices" can be hidden, brings from the desktop a narrow strip of white paper (2-3 cm wide) and , showing it to those present, dips it in ink. Taking out a piece of paper, the magician shows that it has turned purple (Fig. 36, A). He puts this piece of paper on a tray next to the vessel.
Following this, the illusionist takes the “magic” salt cellar standing on the desktop, going to the forefront, sprinkles his hands, a jar of ink and hides the salt cellar in the left outer pocket of his jacket. Standing with the left side to the audience, the presenter follows the flight of some invisible object. At some point, he catches it and holds it in his left fist. Satisfied with his dexterity, the artist smiles cheerfully. Putting forward his left hand, he turns to the audience with his right side and slowly, unhurriedly, in parts, pulls a bright blue handkerchief from his fist. Throwing and catching a handkerchief, he heads to the demonstration table. Here he throws a handkerchief over a jar of ink and, taking out a "magic" salt shaker from his pocket, sprinkles it on the handkerchief, and takes the salt shaker to his work table. Returning, the magician takes the handkerchief by the center and with a quick movement pulls it off the jar, lifting it up. Immediately he intercepts the handkerchief, holding it by two corners, as shown in fig. 36, B. Viewers see that the ink has become transparent, like water. Approaching the ramp, the illusionist shows both sides of the scarf, throws it up and catches it, proving that the scarf has remained the same and that nothing is hidden under it. Returning to the demonstration table, the artist closes the jar again, throwing a handkerchief over it, makes several passes, standing at the table, then, taking it by the middle, quickly pulls off the handkerchief. The surprised audience sees that live, merrily swimming goldfish have appeared in the jar. Throwing up and catching a handkerchief, the presenter gives it to the assistant who went on stage, and he himself, taking a jar of fish, goes into the hall to show them to the audience. The assistant, taking the tray and handkerchief, takes them backstage. Focus Secrets: The display table had a sideboard shelf at the back, otherwise why was there a tablecloth on it. The tray that the performer placed under the vessel "with ink" was the most common, and showing it to the audience was a completely safe matter. A glass jar standing on a table has a cylindrical shape, its diameter is 10–12 cm and its height is about 10 cm. The jar is filled with ordinary water for 6/7, and in the middle it is blocked by wall a, which is clearly seen from fig. 37.
Wall a is made of plexiglass, its length corresponds exactly to the inner diameter of the can, and its width corresponds to the inner height of the can. On the one hand, the plexiglass wall is painted with light, heated enamel paint, which is powdered with aluminum powder (tack-free), which makes the surface of the wall mirror-like. It is with its mirror side that the wall faces the audience during the performance; due to the fact that the front wall of the can is reflected in the mirror, the audience does not notice our wall. Behind the wall, in the other half of the jar, not visible to the audience, live fish swim. In order for the water poured into the jar to appear to the audience as ink, the illusionist glues a special insert b (Fig. 37) from a purple film, which is used for theatrical Jupiters. A strip is cut out of this film, equal in width to the water level in the jar, and then it is glued together, as shown in our figure. Insert b should freely enter the front half of the jar, in front of the mirror. To the straight section of the insert, in the middle, a small round button is attached on a short white thread, which is thrown over wall a to the opposite side and therefore is not visible to the audience. Before the trick began, our jar stood on the table fully assembled - with water and all the details described above; in the second half, hidden from the public, live fish swam. The magician dipped a strip of white paper into the "ink", and the end of it "stained" in the color of the ink. The thing is that this strip was pre-painted with violet paint on one side by the illusionist (Fig. 37, c). When the strip was dipped into the "ink", it faced the public with the unpainted side; dropping the end of it into the jar, the artist turned the strip with the painted side towards the audience and thus pulled it out. Some magicians first show both sides of the white strip (at the same time, they hide the end of the paper, colored on one side, in their hand), and only then, taking the strip in the other hand by the opposite end, they do everything as we described earlier. The magician took the "magic" salt shaker and sprinkled it with "magic powder" and hid it in his left pocket. There he put a thimble on the thumb of his left hand (see Fig. 9, E), in which a thin blue handkerchief was hidden. Standing with his left side to the audience, he hid the thimble, hiding his thumb behind other outstretched and tightly clenched fingers.
Having caught the "invisible object", the artist held it in his left hand; at that moment he removed the thimble from his thumb and held it in his fist. Now to get the handkerchief out of the fist, pulling it out gradually, is a simple matter. The handkerchief is removed, and the thimble is put back on the thumb. The artist approaches the table and leaves the thimble on the sideboard. The magician stands at the table, but to the side of him, so that the mirror surface of the wall does not accidentally hit the background of his black suit - then it can be detected by the audience. Throwing a handkerchief over a jar of "ink" and sprinkling it with "magic powder", he pulls off the handkerchief. This is done as follows: covering the jar with a handkerchief, most of it is lowered from the side facing the audience; taking the handkerchief by the center, the performer grabs the button that is attached to insert b; then, lifting the handkerchief up, he simultaneously removes insert b from the jar and immediately takes hold of the handkerchief with his other hand, stretching it to hide the extended insert b under it; after that, the artist takes the handkerchief to the table and, carrying it over the sideboard, lowers insert b into a special box standing here; having got rid of the insert, he takes the handkerchief by two adjacent corners and holds it in front of him, and only then goes to the ramp. Having shown the handkerchief to the audience, the artist again covers the jar with it, also lowering most of it in front. Taking the handkerchief by the middle, he simultaneously grabs the upper edge of wall a in his hand; this time the leader is standing at the table right in the center of it. The magician lifts the handkerchief up and, moving his hands behind the table, puts the wall a on the sideboard. With his free hand, he raises a jar of live fish, puts a handkerchief on a tray, and then descends into the hall to the audience. Author: Bedarev G.K.
