EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Pharaoh vase. Focus secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: On the stage stands a beautifully painted Egyptian-style vase on a small stand, under which a light bulb is lit. The vase is closed with a lid, a veil is thrown over it. The magician enters the stage with two (or more) assistants who carry jugs, painted in the same way as a vase. After bowing, the illusionist removes the veil and lid, takes a jug from the first assistant and pours water from it into a vase. Having poured out all the water and holding the jug upside down, he gives it to the first assistant, who, putting the empty jug on the floor, goes backstage and immediately returns with another vessel full of water. At this time, the second assistant gives his jug, from which the performer, as well as from the first, pours water into a vase and gives it to the assistant. He places the pitcher next to the empty one. The first mate serves the third pitcher, while the second mate goes backstage behind the fourth with the court. The magician pours the water out of the third one and gives it empty. Other jugs are emptied in exactly the same order (Fig. 85).
Performer about sieves more water. The assistants reveal that she is no more. Then the illusionist takes the first jug and again pours water from it, pouring it out to the assistant, who takes the jug away and immediately returns. The second assistant gives the second jug, and from it, as well as from the first, water pours again. This is repeated until the last pitcher. Finally, the vase is full and water splashes over the rim. The performer dips his hand into the water and splashes it around the stage, then takes a jug standing near the wings and pours the rest of the water into a vase. Takes matches and sets fire to water. A fire breaks out, and fountains start beating from the sides of the vase (Fig. 86).
The illusionist closes the vase with a lid. The fire goes out and the fountains stop. He wipes his hands on the towel handed to him, takes the coverlet and covers the vase with it. Then, under the cover, he removes the lid from the vase, quickly pulls off the cover, and I fly out of the vase, three or four doves (if there are no pigeons, then the magician can take out some animal from the vase, for example, a rabbit, a chicken, etc.). He closes the vase again with a veil and immediately lifts it up. An assistant appears under the veil, whom he helps to get on stage (Fig. 87).
Installing this illusion for a novice amateur who does not have experienced, trained assistants is quite difficult. Therefore, we recommend that you include the illusion in the program as the first number, which will make it possible to calmly prepare a vase, "load" an assistant into it and prepare all the jugs. Props: A large vase made of roofing iron, collapsible, in three parts (Fig. 105): A - the upper part with a neck, closed with a lid D; B - the middle and C - the lower part of the vase. Stand-taganok G on three or four legs.
Six jugs made of roofing iron or tin (Fig. 106) with a secret compartment-valve Zh.
Rubber funnel with straps (Fig. 107, A) for putting inside the vase on the neck with a hose for draining water and a tap.
Device for fountains (Fig. 107). T - a metal tube to which a pear-shaped rubber balloon is attached. Three capsules K from a primus stove are screwed into a metal tube, with bored holes. One end of the pipe is sealed tightly, and a cylinder is put on the other end, which is filled with water. If we click on it, then the water will shoot up fountains from three capsules. The tube T is reinforced inside the neck A, on the side (see Fig. 105), so as not to interfere with putting on and taking off the rubber funnel. The bedspread is a lined silk scarf. Clean aviation gasoline and matches. Focus secret: The secret of the illusion falls into two parts: the secret of the vase and the jugs. Vase secret. It is made of such a size that an assistant with three or four pigeons could easily fit in it. The vase is charged backstage as follows: an assistant sits in it, holding a bag of pigeons in her hands; "pear" for fountains - a cylinder filled with water - is firmly attached to the tube; a rubber funnel is pulled over the inner end of the neck protruding downward, the hose tap is unlocked and the end of the hose is passed into the hole made in the bottom of the vase and in the leg of the stand G (see Fig. 105). A hole is pre-drilled on the floor to drain water under the stage. Its diameter is equal to the thickness of the hose. The legs of the stand G have folds that are bent so that they fall into the hole. Below (under the stage) a barrel is placed: water flows into it, which is poured into a vase. The assistant places the tube-hose in such a way that it does not interfere with her and there would be free access to the tap. The demonstration goes like this. The vase is charged as described above and closed with a lid. Water is poured into all jugs in such a way that the secret compartment of the jug is also filled with water. The vase is put back in place before the curtain opens (we have this illusion in the program as the first number). The charging, the correct installation of the hose and the stand on the stage are carefully checked. A cork should be made of wood, which would easily enter and close the hole in the floor. The assistant discreetly inserts this cork into the hole at the moment when he, about to take away the vase, slightly pushes the stand aside. The performer, having entered the stage, removes the cover and lid from the vase, takes a jug from the assistant and pours water from it through side a (see Fig. 106), so that the water only pours out halfway. He holds the jug over the vase until the water stops flowing, then passes it to the assistant, who places it on the floor, and the illusionist passes the second jug, then the third and all the others, with which the magician does the same as with the first . Then they begin to pour water from the jugs a second time, but already over the side of the v. The assistant imperceptibly pours gasoline into the last of them - five grams. The performer, pouring out the water for the second time, after the third jug gives a conventional sign to the assistant, and she closes the hose tap, stopping the flow of water under the stage. The magician, having emptied the fourth and fifth jugs, scoops up water in a rubber funnel with his hands and sprinkles it around the stage, showing that the vase is full of water. Taking the sixth jug of gasoline, he pours it into a vase; at this time, the assistant quietly lights a match and throws it into the vase. The water flashes and burns with a strong flame, and at this time the assistant presses on the cylinder, causing the water to spurt out in a fountain. As soon as the performer closes the vase with a lid, the assistant immediately stops pressing on the bottle and, opening the tap, drains all the water from the rubber funnel through the hose under the stage. Then, by the straps-ears, he pulls the rubber funnel down, removes it from the throat of the wine and prepares the pigeons for release, and at the right moment she walks out of the vase, first passing both hands up. Note that professional illusionists use potassium metal to ignite gasoline in a vase of water. However, based on many years of experience, we do not recommend amateurs to do this, because potassium metal is very dangerous to store and use. It is better and easier to use ordinary matches and some gasoline. The secret of jugs. It is clear from Fig. 106. Handles are attached across the saucer and to both of its sides and a strip of tin plate Zh is soldered on. She, a little short of reaching the bottom of the jug, divides it into two unequal parts. If we pour a full jug and, holding the handles, pour water over side a, then part of the water will remain behind the plate. Even if we turn the vessel upside down, the water still will not pour out - the valve will not allow it. If you then put a jug, then the water will collect at its bottom. If you then turn the pitcher over, the water will pour over the side into. Turn the jug on the other side should be imperceptible. You can immediately pour water twice from the same jug, but it will be much more effective if, having poured out "all the water", as it seems to the audience, you put it on the floor, and then, taking the "empty" jug, start pour water out of it again. A rubber funnel is carefully glued from dense rubber (a volleyball tube can be used), and a thick-walled rubber hose is glued to it, into which a tap is inserted. A rubber band is also glued on top of the funnel from the outside, so that the funnel is held tight inside on the neck flaps and so that water can flow. Straps attached to the upper edge of the funnel make it easy to remove it from the rim of the lower inner side of the throat of the wine. Some illusionists put a funnel on the upper outer edges of the neck and remove it themselves at the right time. However, viewers may notice this, and besides, masking of rubber against the background of the painted neck of the vase will be required. Sometimes a thick wire hoop is inserted into the upper edge of the funnel, and the assistant keeps it all the time, pressing her hands against the neck, which we also do not recommend. The water will seep into the vase and splash on the assistant, not to mention that it is very difficult to hold the funnel for long periods of time. The method of fastening the funnel indicated by us (putting it on the inner flaps of the neck from the inside) has fully justified itself in practice, and this greatly facilitates the work of the assistant. Enough has been said about the arrangement of fountains. We only add that it is not necessary to drill very large holes in the capsules. It is better to choose the required diameter in a practical way. Remember that all three parts of the vase must be fastened together by constipation entering each other. Store the vase in disassembled form, making for it a lockable packing box. Author: Vadimov A.A.
