The first method

Focus Description:

An ingenious method was used to perform this trick by the illusionist Okito, who toured the Soviet Union. He used very thin, durable silk colored paper, which was easily and compactly inserted into a celluloid finger that was hollow inside (Fig. 40, A).

Such a finger is glued from two parts of celluloid and painted with matte paint to match the color of the hand.)

A finger with a sheet of paper placed in it is inserted into the hand between the ring and middle fingers of the left hand (Fig. 40, B). The magician shows the audience both hands - they are empty. At the same time, he always looks at the right one, while with the left he makes light movements, preventing the audience from noticing the sixth attached celluloid finger. Then with his right hand he takes a sheet of paper from the table and throws it up, proving that the paper has not been dissected in any way, catches the sheet with his left hand and immediately tears it into small pieces. At the same time, imperceptibly removing the celluloid finger, he puts it in his palm and removes the paper from it, and tucks the torn pieces into his finger, gradually straightening the removed sheet in his hands.

The magician inserts the finger with the torn paper hidden in it back into its original place (between the ring and forefinger of the left hand) and, taking the still not quite straightened sheet, stares at it intently, distracting the attention of the audience. After making a half-turn with his right shoulder towards the audience and running his left hand over the suit, the illusionist imperceptibly dips a celluloid finger into one of his many secret pockets arranged in the suit. Then he slowly brings his empty left hand to his right and finally straightens and smoothes the sheet of paper. And, finally, again, as at the beginning of the number, he tosses the sheet up and casually places it on the table.

Okito, with a special grace inherent in him, very effectively performed this little trick, which occupied not the last place in his program.

second method

Focus Description:

From tissue paper, small leaves are cut out in the form of a pocket about 5x7 cm in size (Fig. 41, A); the edges of the leaflet are smeared with glue and placed on the upper left corner of a sheet of colored paper laid out on the table. When gluing a pocket, two fingers are slipped under it so that it turns out to be voluminous and does not fit closely to the sheet (Fig. 41, B), since it will be necessary to put a piece of paper pressed into a ball in it (Fig. 41, B). Having carefully filled everything, fold the prepared two sheets in the same way as in the first method.

When performing, when a whole sheet is torn, a crumpled piece of paper is taken out of the pocket, straightened in the left hand, and under its cover with the right hand, the torn sheet is strongly crumpled into a tight lump, which is then hidden in the palm of the left hand. Having chosen a convenient moment, they hide the pieces of paper in their pocket and show the whole sheet that has appeared to the audience.

Both hands are raised up to prove that they are completely 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 ... >>

ESP32-DevKitC-V Development Board 31.07.2019

The new ESP32-DevKitC-V development board is based on one of the most popular Espressif ESP32-WROVER-B WiFi modules and allows you to launch an application with support for WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth Classic/BLE wireless standards in the shortest possible time. The resources of the ESP32-D0WD chip built into the module are enough to solve even very complex tasks - there are two 32-bit cores on board, 4 MB SPI FLASH memory, 8 MB PSRAM and a large number of interfaces - UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, DAC, GPIO, PWM, I2S and others. For battery devices, you can use the built-in coprocessor, which has a reduced power consumption.

The ESP32-DevKitC-V gives the designer full access to all module pins via standard 2,54mm pitch pin headers. To interact with a PC and download user programs, a micro-USB connector is provided. The module is powered by USB or an external voltage source of 3,3 or 5 V. When powered by 5 V, a linear regulator installed on the board is used. To interact with the user, the board has buttons for resetting and switching to the download mode via the serial port.

Due to its low cost, small size and built-in antenna, the ESP32-DevKitC-V board can be used as a complete module in small-scale production.

ESP32-DevKitC-V Development Board Features:

ESP32-WROVER-B module (ESP32-D0WD chip)
4 MB SPI Flash and 8 MB SPI PSRAM
PCB antenna
Micro-USB interface and USB/UART bridge
Built-in 3,3V regulator
"Reset" and "Download" buttons
Power On LED indicator
Standard 2,54mm male connectors.
