EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Through the glass Focus secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: The assistant takes out a frame with glass and puts it in special stands on a demonstration table; he places two targets next to him (Fig. 43) and remains on the stage himself.
The magician comes out with a "magic" wand in his hands. Approaching the frame, he taps the glass with a stick in its various parts, showing that the frame is completely glazed. Taking the frame out of its stands, the magician descends into the hall with it, passes along the middle aisle between the rows, showing on both sides that the glass in the frame is intact, without holes, and returns to the stage. There, with the help of an assistant, targets are strengthened on both sides of the glass; for this, there are triangular protrusions on the frame. After that, the frame is installed on the table in stands. The assistant gives the magician a large needle (the so-called collar) and a narrow bright ribbon 3-4 meters long. Having inserted the ribbon into the eye of the needle, the artist once again descends into the hall and gives the needle and ribbon to inspect several spectators sitting in the front rows. Returning to the foreground, he says: "You have just examined the frame and this needle and ribbon. These are the most ordinary objects, unremarkable. Meanwhile, they have unusual properties, which I will try to demonstrate now." He approaches the frame, sticks the needle into the center of the target - the needle passes freely through both targets and the glass and exits from the back of the frame. The illusionist pulls the entire tape through the glass after the needle; while the assistant holds the frame so that it does not fall. The audience is amazed at such an unusual piercing of glass with a needle. The artist gives the assistant a needle with a ribbon and picks up a frame; the assistant removes the targets from her and takes them, along with the needle, backstage. The performer shows the frame from the stage, and the audience sees that the glass in it is still intact, but since it is not clearly visible to those sitting in the back of the hall, the magician descends into the audience and, walking along the middle aisle, shows the frame from his hands at close range , taps on the glass with his finger to prove its strength. Focus secret: In the arrangement of the frame with glass lies the secret of piercing the glass with a needle. You can see a drawing of the frame with all dimensions in fig. 45. For its manufacture, we need two sheets of five-millimeter and one sheet of three-millimeter plywood, the size of each sheet is 400x600 mm. In the center of thick sheets, windows with trapezoidal protrusions are cut along the middle of the long sides (Fig. 45, A). Then, from the pieces of plywood cut from the middle, the bases for the targets are made, in our drawing they are shown by a dotted line with two points. Paper targets are glued to them (see Fig. 43), in the center of which round holes 10 mm in diameter are drilled. A rectangle 370x440 mm is cut out in the center of a three-millimeter sheet.
Next, we turn to the manufacture of glass. Its thickness is 2,5 mm, at point O marked in Fig. 45, B, it has a through hole with a diameter of 5-6 mm. Glass is drilled with a hand drill, steel drills for metal. So that the glass does not burst during drilling, proceed as follows: a very even sheet of plywood is placed on the table, on which the figure shown in fig. 45, B; our glass is superimposed on it, and a hole is drilled at the point o. When the glass is drilled, it is necessary to process its outer edges on both sides along the entire perimeter. The glass is moved to the very edge of the plywood sheet, which, in turn, moves to the edge of the table and hangs beyond it. There is a newspaper on the floor. With a sharp file with a fine notch, the cutting edges of the glass cut are removed, the edge is rounded; it is also necessary to round the right cut corners. With a good file, glass is processed easily, just do not press the file with great force, the glass may burst. Now you can assemble (glue) the frame. On one side we smear a thin (3 mm) sheet with glue, remove the excess with a cloth, put this sheet on a five-millimeter one, exactly aligning their outer edges, and dry it under pressure. The excess glue is removed so that it does not penetrate into the inner compartment where the glass will be placed; in this case, the glass may stick to the frame and lose its mobility. After drying the glued parts, glue is applied to the second side of the thin sheet, the excess glue is removed and, putting the glass in place, glue it on top with a second five-millimeter sheet, exactly aligning it with the lower glued parts. Secondly put the frame to dry under pressure. The finished frame is sanded, if necessary, puttied and sanded a second time, and then painted (in a horizontal position, leaning glass on stands) with heated enamel and powdered with bronze powder ("gold"); so that the paint does not get on the glass and does not jam, it must be closed with strips of paper, slipping them under the frame plywood. We have to make two coasters. They are made from a wooden bar 50X50 mm, as shown in fig. 45, W. If you now take the finished frame in your hands and rotate it around a long axis, then the glass inside will move from one long edge to another, while a through hole O will appear and disappear in the center of the visible part of the glass. Our focus is based on this secret. When the assistant brought the frame onto the stage, he placed it on the table so that the hole could not be seen. In this form, the presenter showed the frame to the audience. When targets were inserted into the frame from both sides, it was turned by 180°, and the hole stood against the centers of the targets. Now the artist could easily drag a needle with a ribbon through the glass. Removing the targets from the frame, the artist turned it again by 180°, and the glass became "whole". Our artist used a ready-made industrial needle, but you can also make it yourself from thin metal. Author: Bedarev G.K.
