To prove it, treasure! handkerchief on the open palm of the right hand, and with the left hand takes it by the corner and slowly moves it forward towards the ends of the fingers of the right hand.

As soon as the other end of the scarf has reached its extreme point, the magician slowly lifts the scarf up and holds it upright over his outstretched right hand. The scarf sways slightly, the performer removes his left hand - and the scarf stands, “balancing” on the middle finger (Fig. 215).

The performer takes several steps along the stage, holding a scarf on his finger. Then he again takes the top of the scarf with his left hand and places it on his right hand. Gathering the scarf into a ball, he goes out into the audience and shows it.

Props:

Small silk handkerchief.

Wire pin with a ring at the end (Fig. 215, A).

Focus secret:

The secret to the trick is the pin. I will bend the ring to the size of the middle finger and should sit tightly on it. The other end of the pin is pointed, and a small ball is placed on it. The pin is hidden in advance in the right sleeve with the sharp end towards the palm and the ring towards the elbow. The pin is strengthened inside the sleeve so that it does not fall out prematurely. To do this, you can sew a narrow long bag to the lining.

Placing the handkerchief on the palm of his right hand, the performer places one end of it on the cuff of his sleeve, thereby covering the moment the pin comes out from the eyes of the audience. Then he quietly takes the pin by the ball and pushes it out of the sleeve under cover, pulling the handkerchief forward until the ring of the pin reaches the end of the middle finger of the right hand.

Again, under the cover of the handkerchief, he puts the ring on the middle finger and slowly lifts the handkerchief up, lifting along with it the pin on which it is held, making sure that the ring is hidden from the eyes of the audience by the corner of the handkerchief.

When you balance a handkerchief on your finger, you should shake the handkerchief slightly, showing the audience that it is very difficult for you to do this.

On fig. 215,B shows a pin, its ring is put on a finger.

When performing the trick, you need to cover the pin very well on all sides with a scarf, and when threading it, make sure that the sharp end passes through the material, which will prevent the scarf from slipping. This is the whole success of our simple trick.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Smart dressing for the treatment of chronic wounds 22.02.2020

American bioengineers have developed a wireless "smart" bandage that can deliver drugs to a long-term non-healing wound and speed up the healing of chronic wounds.

Chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal over time, despite appropriate therapy. Such wounds occur, for example, as one of the complications of diabetes. These include bedsores, trophic ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers.

A new bandage developed by scientists from the University of Connecticut, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Harvard Medical School could help treat chronic wounds. It is equipped with miniature needles printed on a 3D printer. These needles are able to penetrate deeper layers of the wound without causing severe pain to the patient and without causing inflammation. In this case, the bandage does not need to be constantly changed.

Attached to the bandage is an electronic device - a smart platform - with which you can adjust the dosage and the moment of release of the drug, which is delivered through miniature needles.

The development was tested first on cells and then on diabetic mice in which the disease caused skin damage. Thanks to the "smart" bandage, the mice showed signs of complete wound healing - without scarring.
