Focus Description:

On the table are an empty six-sided box and three glasses filled with confetti of different colors: one is red, the other is blue, the third is yellow. The magician shows the audience first the box, and then all three glasses (one at a time). Following this, he pours confetti from each glass into a box (Fig. 42, A) and mixes with a stick. Viewers see that all three colors are mixed. To prove this, the performer picks up a box, takes out handfuls of confetti and pours it back.

Focus Confetti Riddle
Fig. 42

Then the illusionist turns to one of the spectators and asks what color he would like to receive confetti.

The viewer calls, for example, red. The illusionist turns the box around, dips his hand into it, and immediately takes out a handful of red confetti.

In the same way, the magician asks the second viewer and takes out, say, yellow confetti.

"And for your lot," he says to the third viewer, "only the blue ones are left." - And, putting his hand into the box, he takes out a handful of blue confetti.

This can be repeated several times, and after each time, if desired, the performer can turn the box.

Props:

Prepared hexagonal box with glass walls.

Confetti of three different varieties.

Three simple glass glasses.

Focus secret:

The secret of this beautiful trick lies in the arrangement of the box. It is hexagonal, about 8-10 cm high; the width of each face is 10-12 cm (Fig. 42, B). It has a transverse partition n made of mirrors. The mirrored side of the plate faces the Y compartment, due to which the mirror reflects three sides, and it seems to the viewers that they see the whole box empty. Behind the rear side of the mirror, two bulkheads are made - walls that form compartments 2, 3, 4. The outer sides of compartments a, b and c are double, made of glass; mixed confetti of three colors is placed between the glasses; because of these confetti, viewers do not see what is inside compartments 2, 3 and 4, and they contain separate confetti: red - in the second, yellow - in the third and blue - in the fourth.

The box on the table is placed with side 1 facing the audience, so they see the box as "empty". You need to pour confetti so that no one can see the mirrors. Having poured all three colors, the magician mixes them with a wand, holding the box slightly inclined, otherwise the wand will be reflected in the mirror. Now you can show the box to the audience from all sides: they will see multi-colored confetti on all six sides. You need to take out confetti from compartments 2, 3 and 4 with a pinch - with all five fingers, and when you take it out, immediately clench it into a fist; it will seem to the audience that the performer took out a lot of confetti - a whole handful.

Having taken the confetti of the desired color, the magician pours it out of his hands into a glass or onto the floor. Before that, he shows the audience his hands, which, of course, are empty.

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 ... >>
