Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience a yellow silk handkerchief (Fig. 38, A). Making small waves with his left hand, he brings his right hand with a "magic" wand to the handkerchief and lightly touches his left hand with its tip. The audience notices that the handkerchief is getting smaller and smaller; finally, it is not visible: it is clamped in the left hand.

The magician again touches his left hand with a wand - and the handkerchief gradually begins to appear in his left hand, but now it is of a different color, say blue. The blue handkerchief disappears in this way, so that now a red one appears instead. The performer shows the audience a red handkerchief, then does the same: the handkerchief becomes yellow, with which the artist began the number.

Props:

"Magic" wand prepared.

Three small silk handkerchiefs: yellow, blue and red.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in the device placed inside the magic wand. The main part of it is a cartridge made of copper (Fig. 38, B), which can be made from a copper hunting rifle cartridge (32 caliber). They put a handkerchief in it. The "magic" wand is made of such a diameter that the cartridge can enter it without much effort and hold firmly inside.

Focus Magic wand colors handkerchiefs
Fig. 38

Part of the stick is shown in Fig. 38, B, dotted line; cartridge is shown in section. There are two such cartridges, one for each end. The stick is painted black, and both ends are nickel-plated or chrome-plated. The rim of the cartridge and its bottom are also nickel-plated on the outside, they form, as it were, one whole with the stick. With the help of the rim, the cartridge is easily removed from the stick.

To successfully complete the trick, the following conditions must be observed: with the left hand, while manipulating handkerchiefs, it is necessary to make swinging movements all the time; the right hand in which the magician holds the wand, he also shakes slightly, but all his attention should be turned to the left hand. At the moment of contact of both hands, you need to look at the right: at this time, the cartridge is removed from the stick and handkerchiefs are exchanged.

Before the performance, the magician charges both patrons with handkerchiefs - blue and red. If you wish, you can have spare cartridges with handkerchiefs of other colors (three more pieces) and show a six-fold "repainting" of the handkerchief, but this can annoy the audience and, moreover, threatens to be exposed. Therefore, try to diversify the methods of manipulation.

Show. In front of everyone, the performer takes a yellow handkerchief in his left hand and lightly touches it with a stick. This is quite enough to have time to remove a cartridge with a blue handkerchief from the wand. Moving the fingers of his left hand, the magician gradually takes the yellow handkerchief inside his palm, creating the illusion of a shrinking handkerchief. When the handkerchief "disappears" (in fact, it lies in the palm of your hand), the illusionist, straightening it with his right hand, with a quick movement imperceptibly takes out a blue handkerchief from the cartridge (lying in his left palm along with the handkerchief). Now the task is to quietly push the yellow handkerchief into the cartridge and gradually, slowly unfold the blue one (under cover of it, you finally push the yellow handkerchief into the cartridge). Touching your left hand again with a stick, put a cartridge with a yellow handkerchief into it, and take out another cartridge with a red one. The rest is clear from the description.

We repeat, you should gesticulate with your hands all the time, making swaying movements, this serves as a good distraction. For the same purpose, you can use slight turns of the body, as well as distract the attention of the audience by directing your gaze.

The number, despite all its outward simplicity, requires very good preparation, long rehearsals in front of a mirror.

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. ... >>

Moon base shield 23.09.2005

American scientists propose to protect the lunar base using electromagnetism. One of the main dangers that awaits future colonists on the Moon is electrically charged particles: electrons, protons and naked nuclei flying at great speed from the Sun and distant supernovae. How to deal with it?

Nuclear reactors, for example, are covered with concrete blocks. If there was water on the satellite, the protective bunkers could be built from ice and lunar dust.

Charles Buhler and John Lane of NASA came up with an unexpected and simple way - to use a force field. Dangerous radiation will be removed from the settlers by 5-6 inflatable conductive balls with a diameter of about five meters, charged up to hundreds of megavolts. The voltage is huge, but the currents are very small, since the charge on the spheres is static, and it does not take much energy to maintain it.

The spheres, covered with the thinnest layer of gold, are proposed by scientists to be made from the thin and durable material Vectran, from which the balls are made, which softened the recent landings of the rovers. One row of such spheres will repel positively charged particles from space, and the other row, closer to the base, will repel negatively charged ones.
