EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Serpentine. Focus secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: The magician, rolling up his sleeves, shows that he has nothing in his hands. He takes a newspaper from the table, having carefully examined it, rolls up the bag. Then, putting his hand into it, he thinks for a moment, immediately quickly unfolds the bag and gives it to the audience to examine. Then he folds the bag again and unfolds its upper edge. Turning the bag, he holds it in his left hand, and with his right hand he pulls a serpentine ribbon from the bundle, which falls in spirals to the floor. After a lot of serpentine has spilled out of the bag, the performer again puts his right hand into the bag and turns it upside down. A serpentine falls again from the bundle (Fig. 38).
The illusionist unfolds the bag, puts it on the table. Taking a pile of serpentine from the floor, he transfers it to the table. Having adjusted the ribbons, he begins to push out from the middle of the pile a long cone-shaped stick of colored varnished paper (Fig. 39).
The stick, having reached a height of about 2 meters, breaks, and the performer very quickly and deftly pulls out a lot of colored paper ribbons from a pile. Having straightened the fallen ribbons and showed the audience a whole bunch of serpentine and ribbons, he takes it off the table, then puts it on the table again, but then, after thinking it over, transfers it to a stool. From the middle of the pile he pulls out a second large stick of colored paper and a lot of paper ribbons. It turns out a large pile of serpentine and ribbons, which the illusionist, having removed from the stool, puts on the floor. Then, after changing his mind, hesitantly transfers it to the table, carefully correcting it. Finally, he takes the whole armful and puts it on the floor. Again, hesitantly, he looks around, bends down and again takes out a lot of ribbons from the armful. He bends down again and, straightening the pile, lights it, then quickly takes out three large colored Chinese lanterns from the pile of ribbons and serpentine with his left hand and immediately takes out the same number of lanterns with his right hand (Fig. 40).
Standing with lit lanterns, he thanks the audience for their attention. Props: Two packs of serpentine in different colors. Three large packs of multi-colored paper ribbons. Several sheets of white tissue paper. Six multicolored silk lanterns. Three cassettes - they are placed on the table to charge them with tapes and flashlights. Newspaper. Let's describe in more detail all the props. By a pack of serpentine, we mean a coil of thin narrow paper tape 20-25 m long. The first pack is white, the second is colored. The coil is folded so that the index finger can enter the middle or the end of the serpentine should be slightly removed from the middle of the pack: then it can be pulled out more easily. The bundle is tied with a very thin thread with a wire hook at the end (Fig. 53, A).
Paper ribbons 4-5 cm wide. You glue multi-colored paper into long strips of twenty-five to thirty meters. Then take a pencil and loosely wind the entire roll of tape around it. You can paint simple wallpapers in bright colors and then cut them into strips of the desired width. The second end, the outer one, is glued so that the skein does not crumble (Fig. 53, B). Each roll - and there are only three of them - is good to make from two different colors. It turns out a beautiful range of six different shades. Multi-colored lanterns (Fig. 54) are very easy to make from millimeter wire. You bend six circles with a diameter of 25 cm and six circles with a diameter of 30 cm. Sew on colored thin silk or other matter 40 cm wide. It turns out a cylinder. Solder a wire bent in the middle to its lower, larger circle (Fig. 54, A), to which, before the performance, tie a piece of cotton wool soaked in alcohol with another firebox wire. Attach semicircular handles for two lanterns to the upper circle, like a bucket, and fasten them in three pieces, as shown in fig. 55, A.
These lanterns fold well and tightly (Fig. 55, B).
It is better to make all six lanterns of different colors. If the matter is monophonic, then it is not bad to color it. For work, you will also need three cassettes - devices for charging: rolls of tapes wrapped in tissue paper and tied with thread are placed in two, all six lanterns are placed in the third, and a rolled tape is placed on them. These cassettes are shown in Fig. 56, A - for the first and second tapes and B - for lanterns and tape.
Cassettes are simple boxes in which there is a charge, and instead of a lid, a door is made in one of the sides, pasted over with canvas and painted in the color of the box. The door opens from the inside. As soon as the charge leaves the cassette, the door falls down and closes the hole. To do this, an iron weight in the form of a stick is imperceptibly attached to its lower edge inside. If the table is smooth, cassettes A and B can be made without a bottom. Their dimensions are taken such that the "charges" wrapped in tissue paper can easily enter and exit the boxes without friction. Cassettes can be of various types. We give you complete freedom in choosing their shapes and even designs. If the cassettes are made without a bottom, in the form of simple tires, then the discharge can be done very simply: by lifting them at the right moment under the cover of a pile of serpentine, the charge is released and placed in the center of a pile of serpentine. Cassette B is 40x40 cm in size and about 7-9 cm high (inside). Six lanterns folded together and a pack of ribbons should fit freely in it. A door measuring 40x7 or 40x9 cm should easily rise and fall under the action of the load. So that such a relatively large object as a cassette does not catch the eye of the audience too much, a pan or a lid is placed on it, and at the right moment they are moved away. Cassettes A and B are loaded, as we have already said, with ribbons wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a thread, the end of which is let out and imperceptibly attached to some object. On fig. 57 shows that the charging in cassette A is looped on a "magic" wand, in cassette B on a matchbox, and in cassette C it is tied with a thread and connected to a ruler.
You can attach to any object, as you wish. By removing this or that object, you quietly pull out the charge from the cassette. You need to pull the thread carefully so that this movement is completely hidden from the audience. There is preparation before the session. A small piece of cotton wool is tied to all six lanterns with a thin wire. Lanterns are stacked one on top of the other as tightly as possible, the matter is carefully straightened and stacked. Make sure that the cotton wool on all the lanterns is folded together and is exactly in the middle, and the matter does not come into contact with the cotton wool, which is poured with alcohol. Be careful not to get alcohol on silk or ribbon (you can insert small candles instead of cotton, but this will make it difficult to ignite). To prevent the material from igniting, it must be well impregnated with a fire-resistant composition, for example, alum, A roll of ribbons is placed on the lanterns; all this is tied up with thread, put into cassette 5, and the end of the thread is attached, as we have already said, on the table to the ruler. This is a painstaking and difficult exercise. Charging cassettes A and B is made easier: the ribbons wrapped in paper are tied with threads and the ends are tied to objects on the table. The last, third, exercise is the most difficult and responsible. A roll of serpentine is tied with a thread with a wire hook at the end and placed on the chest in the cut of the shirt, between the buttons, but so that there are no folds. The hook should protrude imperceptibly above the shirt. At a convenient moment, hidden from the audience, by touching it with a hand or a newspaper, it will be possible to pull out the roll. At this time, you need to exhale, releasing the tension of the shirt. The second roll of serpentine is placed in the right trouser pocket or in another place where it seems more convenient for you. Now almost all the preparations have already been made. It remains only to put one sheet of newspaper on the table. The secret of the trick lies in the inconspicuous charging of the bag with a pack of serpentine, then charging a bunch of serpentine alternately with two rolls of ribbons and, finally, charging a pile of serpentine and ribbons with flashlights and the last roll of ribbons. Work in front of the audience is as follows. While holding both hands, the performer slowly takes a newspaper sheet and, folding it in half, examines it. Then he rolls it up, makes a movement with his hands, as if he wants to put something in there. Having rolled up the bag, unfolds it again and very carefully shows the newspaper from all sides to the viewers. Then he takes the newspaper around the corner in his left hand. At this time, the right hand, under the cover of the newspaper, brings it to the chest and quite calmly, as if doing nothing, touches the hook of the serpentine with the index finger and, under double cover (newspapers and palms), takes out the roll, which itself will lie on the palm. Then, folding the bag, puts his right hand on the right edge of the newspaper and twists the bundle on it in such a way that the right hand is inside the bag. Having lowered the roll of serpentine to the bottom, you imperceptibly hold it from the outside with your left hand and, as if by accident, turn the bag down with a hole. This convinces the audience that it is completely empty. Then, turning the bundle over, you run your right hand inward again, and wrap the edges of the bag with your left, securing the other end with paper clips. Taking out your right hand and holding the serpentine with your left, you turn the bundle again and, wrapping its edges, completely close it. After a short pause, the edges are unfolded again, the bundle is opened, and inside, the thread on the serpentine is carefully torn and the newspaper inside the bag is discreetly removed under the edge. Now the serpentine lies freely inside the bundle, and you, as if slightly correcting its edges, place the roll across the bag. With the thumb and forefinger of your left hand, support the circle of the serpentine from the outside, and with your right hand, take out the end of the serpentine from the middle of the roll and, immediately removing your hand, sharply wave the bundle up and down. Serpentine begins to easily come out of the bag; with your right hand you take out the serpentine, winding it around your hand in large rings. If we now turn the bundle down, the serpentine itself will "sweat" out of it in beautiful spirals. Before one roll of serpentine should end, you imperceptibly take out the second from your pocket with your right hand and completely freely, as if correcting something inside the bag, put a new circle of serpentine into it. When the first roll is over, holding the serpentine, turn the bundle over, then, lowering your right hand into it, break the fastening thread, take out the end of the serpentine from the bag and “pour” it onto a pile of serpentine lying on the floor. Helping with your hand, try to make the pile as big as possible. At the same time, without fear of anything, you can remove the hidden remnants of the thread and the hook from the bundle and put it in a pile. When you run out of the second roll, you focus all your attention on the bundle. Slowly unfold it and show the audience the newspaper and empty hands. Suddenly, as if remembering something, you casually take a serpentine from the floor and put it on the table, covering cassette A with it. cassette. It is necessary to make sure that the bundle of ribbons is imperceptibly in the center of the pile of serpentine. Taking the stick out of the loop of the thread, you wave it several times over the pile and straighten the serpentine. Then, putting the stick down, holding the pile with your left hand, break the thread with your right hand and, unfolding the paper, take out the tip of the tape from the middle and easily pull it up. You get a cone-shaped stick from the tape; it seems to viewers that it grows out of the floor. When the stick breaks and falls, you begin to take out and fold the tapes into a pile with very quick, sharp movements, with wide strokes, so that they cover cassette B. At the same time, you can completely imperceptibly move the entire pile to cassette B and, quietly shifting the box of matches, pull out the charge from cassette B. Continuing to remove the tapes, gradually move the pile to the edge of the table, where you unwind the first roll of tapes. Remove a bunch of serpentine and ribbons from the table so that the charge is not visible. Then again put the whole pile on the table and repeat the whole process of taking out a new tape at a fast pace. After unwinding all the tape, remove the pile and put it on the floor, then on the table and move it to the cassette B. Also discreetly remove the charger - flashlights and the last roll of tape. After removing everything from the table, put it on the floor and begin to sharply remove the tapes, increasing the pile. When the last tape is removed, free up space around the flashlights by moving the tapes and serpentine away from them. Then you get up, thinking, take matches from the table, bending down, as if you are lighting the whole pile, but in fact - lumps of cotton wool moistened with alcohol. Having put out the match, quickly take the first three flashlights with your left hand, lift them up - and the flashlights straighten out. It seems to the audience that you got them from somewhere under the floor. Then, with your right hand, you sharply raise the last three lanterns, after which, raising both hands high (see Fig. 40), say goodbye to the audience and take the lanterns to another room, where you immediately extinguish all the lights. After the session, the tapes can be carefully disassembled and rolled up. If they are torn, then glue them and put them back into action. Serpentine disassemble does not make sense. This trick is very simple, its secrets are clear, but in order to be successful, careful processing of the entire number is needed. A well-executed trick will make a big impression on the audience. In addition, it is long in terms of execution time, so we included it in the second program in the final. In this number, the performer will be able to demonstrate his dexterity and artistic skills. Abrupt transitions from hesitant slowness to quick movements should be well played by the illusionist. Author: Vadimov A.A.
