Focus Description:

There is a transparent crystal jug on the table. The magician takes a small sheet of thick paper (drawing paper or thin pressboard), approximately 30x40 cm in size, and two metal paper clips. Then he asks one of the spectators to examine the paper and sign on the corner. When this is done, the artist rolls a tube of paper about 8 cm in diameter and secures it with paper clips. Approaching the table, he takes a jug and pours water from it into a tube (Fig. 10).

Putting the jug on the table, he goes into the audience, carefully carrying a pipe, and, pretending to want to pour someone, overturns the "vessel", but water does not pour out of it. He unfolds the tube and shows the paper to the viewer who has signed on it. Again he rolls up the pipe, fastens it with paper clips, and, going up to the table again, takes a jug and pours water into it from the pipe (Fig. 11).

Then he pours water into the pipe from the jug again, puts the jug on the table, goes with the pipe to the audience, pretending to be afraid to spill water, and, turning the pipe, shows that there is no water in it. The viewer looks at his signature. The performer comes to the table and shows everyone the jug.

Props:

Crystal faceted jug.

Glass.

A sheet of thick paper or pressboard measuring 30x40 cm.

Two wire paper clips.

Celluloid conical cup with hanging hook (Fig. 25).

Focus secret:

The whole secret of this witty and very effective trick is in a celluloid cup, which is glued together from a thin sheet of transparent celluloid. It is very easy to make from a shaving cup. The size is arbitrary, and the handle is about 8 cm long, and 2 cm of it are bent. The bottom is beveled to make it easier to pry the cup with a paper tube. Celluloid sticks together well with acetone (nail polish remover).

The pitcher is preferably crystal with sharp edges that play with different colors of the spectrum. Through such a jug, filled to the top with water, the audience will not see a celluloid cup. You can also use an opaque jug, but the effect will be worse.

A tube is rolled out of paper. It should be of such a diameter that, having lowered the cup into it and grasping the tube at the top of the cup, with a light pressure of the fingers it would be possible to keep it inside the tube even when turning it over. Having rolled up the tube, mark the edge of folding with a pencil. This will determine the correct diameter.

When all this is done, a jug filled with water is placed on the table. A glass is hung on it, which should not be visible to the audience. An empty glass is placed near the jug; a sheet of paper with a mark and paper clips are placed next to it.

During the session, they act as we described. When the pipe is rolled up and secured with paper clips, the performer takes it in his right hand and brings it to the jug from the back (from the viewer) side, where the cup hangs (Fig. 26). Picking up the pipe, the illusionist simultaneously raises the jug with his left hand. Lowering the jug, imperceptibly lowers the glass into the pipe. Then he secretly turns the tube so that the hook of the cup is not visible to the audience.

When pouring water into a tube (actually into a glass), the jug is, as it were, inadvertently turned to the other side. When they go to put the jug, then, imperceptibly bringing the pipe to the jug (from the side not visible to the audience), they again hang the glass on the jug.

Putting the jug on the table, they walk carefully towards the audience, "afraid to splash" water from the pipe. Then they show an empty tube, unfolding it.

When the pipe is again folded and fastened, the performer goes with it for a jug and, taking it, imperceptibly lowers the glass into the pipe again. He pours water from the pipe into a jug (actually from a glass inside the pipe) and immediately pours water from the jug again into the pipe (into the glass). He quickly turns around and, putting the jug back in place, hangs a glass on it imperceptibly.

It is necessary to work out very carefully "charging" the tube with a glass and "discharging" it. To divert the attention of the spectators, one should use turns of the body, raising and lowering the jug, and transitions from one side of the table to the other.

At the beginning of the session, the jug is placed to the farthest edge of the table from the audience, and then closer to the front.

Having finished the number, the jug is again placed to the rear edge of the table and, imperceptibly freeing it from the glass, they show, as if by accident, its other side. The glass can be discreetly placed in the extended drawer of the table. Avoid noise. With careful decoration of the entire number, it produces a great effect on the audience.

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 ... >>
