Disappearing magic wand. Focus secret

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

The magician during his performance more than once uses his "magic" wand as a distraction. He emphasizes to the audience that it is the most ordinary, simple, not dissected in any way. For example, he knocks with it on a glass standing on a table, and the audience clearly distinguishes the sound of a tree hitting the glass. Then he wraps the stick in a sheet of paper (Fig. 26, A and B), I again knock it on the glass, after which he quickly, with a sharp movement, breaks the wrapped stick in half (Fig. 26, C). Taking both halves in the palm of my hand, I crumple them (Fig. 26, D), I throw the paper backstage (Fig. 26, E). The wand has disappeared.

Props:

Imitation of a "magic" wand made of paper. A small sheet of paper.

Focus secret:

The secret lies in a false stick made of paper. After gluing, it is painted in the same way as the real one.

Small wooden corks are inserted inside the false wand at both ends, with which the magician knocks on the glass. To make the sound sharp, like from a tree, in some places the paper is exposed, and the cork tree is carefully painted over.

A false stick is placed on the table under the cover of an object or in the inner pocket of the suit, where the real one is also placed. Instead, at the right moment, the magician takes out a false stick, with which he shows the trick just described.

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 ... >>
