Focus Description:

The magician asks for a rope, which will be necessary for the next trick. An assistant provides a rope about a centimeter thick and ten to twelve meters long.

The assistant shows the rope to the audience, leaving one end in the hands of the performer.

The performer wraps a rope around his left hand. Assistant asks:

- Is the rope good? No knots?

- Of course, good and without knots, - the assistant answers.

The performer turns to the audience and says: “Check!” throws the rope from his left hand into the auditorium. There are 10 knots on the rope (Fig. 99).

“You see,” the performer says to the assistant, “and you said, without knots!” - He gives the rope to the assistant and asks him to untie the knots, which he does.

Note. For this trick, the best choice is the so-called halyard, that is, a smoothly woven rope used to hoist sails on ships.

This number is performed before the demonstration of the "Lightning Box" illusion. It is a passing trick and the public does not pay much attention to it. However, when performed skillfully and deftly, the trick makes a good impression on the audience.

Props. A rope is 10-12 m long and about 1 cm thick. The best type is a marine rope “halyard”.

Focus secret:

The whole secret of this trick is to wind the rope around your left hand. This is done as follows. With your left hand you hold the rope between your thumb and forefinger (Fig. 114) at a distance of about 40 cm from the end (it is shown on the left in the picture).

With your right hand, grab the rope at a distance of 30 cm from your left hand and hold it between your middle and ring fingers, as shown in Fig. 115. Then, slightly squeezing your right hand, bring it to your left and grab the rope located between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand.

At the very fingers of the right hand, as indicated in Fig. 116, you get a loop that you make a little wider by stretching it with your right thumb. Wind onto the left loops using the method just described. When you have the required number of loops wound on your left hand in this way, which should lie freely and evenly, you grab the end of the rope remaining between the index and middle fingers of your left hand and, swinging strongly, throw all the wound loops forward, holding the remaining end, like we already said, between the index and middle fingers. Throw out the rope with your right hand, holding it by the end, and you will have as many knots tied on the thrown section as there were loops.

Throwing the rope forward with force, as soon as it becomes taut, jerk sharply back with your right hand. This movement will tighten the loops. The final moment of this trick is shown in Fig. 99.

You should practice this number well during rehearsal and learn to wind the loops without looking at your hands, as if you were simply winding the rope around your left hand, and then transferring it to your right to throw it forward.

The entire winding process should be simple, relaxed, and then the audience will be amazed by the ending of your throw. If you reel in tensely while looking at the rope, the audience will naturally expect something and the effect will be reduced.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Energy can be stored in the air 17.06.2011

For power plants operating on non-traditional renewable energy sources - wind or the sun - some kind of storage system is needed to store energy for the time when these sources are not working. It would be convenient to store energy during periods of low demand and in conventional power plants.

English engineers proposed a new option: to make liquid air with excess energy and store it in thermally insulated, but not clogged tanks. If necessary, the fluid is heated to produce high-pressure air that drives a turbine. The overall efficiency of the system is 50%, that is, it is possible to extract half of the electricity that was spent on creating liquid air.

The best modern electric battery systems provide 80-90% efficiency, but they cost $4000 per kilowatt of power, while storing a kilowatt of "cold" energy costs a thousand dollars.

The system has been tested on a 300 kilowatt pilot plant, and by the end of 2012 a large 3,5 megawatt battery station should be in operation.
