EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Rabbit from sawdust. Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: The magician's assistant takes out and places on the demonstration table, which stands on the proscenium, a glass cylindrical jar full of sawdust, and a slightly wider downward cover for this jar (Fig. 52). He then leaves the stage.
An illusionist appears with a “magic” wand in his hands. Approaching the table, he takes a pinch of sawdust from the jar, goes out to the ramp and, pouring sawdust from hand to hand, says: “The jar you see here contains the most ordinary sawdust. You can see this for yourself.” The artist asks one of the spectators sitting in the first row to come up to the stage and pours sawdust, which he just took from the jar, into his hand. The viewer, returning to his place, naturally shows the sawdust to his neighbors and passes them on to other rows. Meanwhile, the artist takes the case in his hands by the top button handle and, without leaving the table, shows its black insides to the public and puts a “magic” wand into it, proving to those present that there is nothing inside the case. The presenter puts the cover on top of the jar of sawdust and performs “magic” passes over them with his “magic” wand. After this, he removes the cover from the jar and, showing its black insides to those present, puts it on the “magic” wand, which he holds vertically. Viewers see that the sawdust from the jar has disappeared, “transforming” into a small live white rabbit. The magician puts the case on the table, places a “magic” wand next to it and pulls a rabbit out of the jar by the ears. Taking him in his arms, he goes down with him into the hall, where the audience happily strokes the subdued, cute animal. The assistant removes the devices that have become unnecessary from the stage. Focus Secrets: In Fig. 53 you see the structure of the device, which shows our focus. For it you need to have a cylindrical glass jar with an internal diameter d = 16-18 cm and height h = 20-22 cm (Fig. 53, A); You can make such a jar from plexiglass yourself.
A cylinder with a diameter 5 mm smaller than the internal diameter of the can and exactly corresponding to its internal height is glued together from cardboard (Fig. 53, B). A cardboard circle is glued to the top of this cylinder, to which a piece of wire a is attached along the diameter, extending 10 mm beyond the cylinder on each side. When the cylinder dries, a sticker is made from several layers of papier-mâché onto the top circle, making the top round at the edges and having a small depression in the center (see picture). The inside of the cylinder is painted with black, non-shiny paint, and the outside is completely coated with glue (except for the ends of wire a) and covered with dry sawdust, but not very fine ones. The cardboard cylinder, textured with sawdust, should fit freely inside the glass jar. The structure of the cover-cap is, in principle, clear from the section shown in Fig. 53, V. It is also made from cardboard and has a barely noticeable conical shape, expanding downward, but it can also be completely cylindrical. It even makes making the case easier. The order of its assembly should be as follows: the wall of the cap is glued first (the cardboard at the gluing site is cut off in thickness so that the seam does not have protrusions); then a ring is cut out of six-millimeter plywood, from which two arcs b are cut, each of them is planed to a height of 1 mm at the ends (Fig. 53, D), these arcs are glued one against the other inside the cover (Fig. 53, C); only after this the top of the cap is sealed. This is done as follows: a newspaper strip is glued to the outside of the upper edge of the wall, which is cut into scallops (Fig. 53, D), a cardboard circle is inserted inside the cover and the scallops are glued onto it, and a second cardboard circle is glued on top of them. At the top of the cover, a small wooden handle is secured with glue and a screw (Fig. 53, B). The inside of the case is completely painted with matte black paint, and the outside is “silvered” with aluminum powder, touch-and-go, over warm enamel paint, making it look like it was cast from metal. So, let's assemble our device. We will insert a cardboard cylinder covered with sawdust into a glass jar, and pour a pinch of real sawdust into the hole at the top of it - it will seem to the audience that the jar is completely covered with sawdust. When we take a pinch of real sawdust from above (from the hole) and pass it into the hall, then doubts will disappear completely. Now we will cover the jar with a cover so that the ends of the wire a fit into the gap between the arms b. Let's turn the cover 90°, and the ends of the wire along the beveled edges of the plywood arches will rise and lie on them, like on shelves. We remove the cover by the handle, and the cylinder located inside the jar will also be removed along with it - the sawdust will “disappear.” Our illusionist did the same, only he first placed a baby rabbit in a jar under a cylinder textured with sawdust. Not all animals are suitable for tricks of this kind, but only those that behave quietly and calmly - guinea pigs, rabbits, pigeons. Using the apparatus described here, “sawdust” can be “transformed,” say, into nuts or gingerbread, or even just into any object. Depending on this, we can change the dimensions of our device.
