Focus Description:

The magician, speaking about the properties of the "magic" wand, goes to the public and declares that in difficult times the wand can help him out - give him as much money as he needs. Approaching one of the spectators, the performer lowers the stick into the inner pocket of his jacket and immediately takes it out (Fig. 50, A). Spectators see that a "silver" ruble has appeared at the end of the stick (Fig. 50, B). The illusionist takes the ruble in his left hand and puts the coin in a glass. Then, in exactly the same way, he “takes out from the audience” a few more “silver” rubles, fills a glass with them; then, pouring out the coins on a tray, he shows the audience.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick lies in the device of a stick made of thin-walled brass tubing or soldered from tin. On fig. 51, A shows a general view of the stick. 1 - a slot in which the rod with the button 2 walks. The design of the stick (in section) is clear from fig. 51, B. In fig. 51, B, the dotted line shows a section of a tube in which cylinder 2 can move freely. Wire 4 is firmly embedded in it, to which two more spring steel wires are soldered. Loop 5 at the end of the tube; it gives the right direction to the wires. Their ends are tightly inserted into the cut parts of the coin and are firmly fixed. Cylinder 9 is tightly attached inside the tube with a conical hole through which a wire 4 is passed. The hole is bored so that when three wires enter it (button 2 is lowered down), they are added together, adding up the coin; its parts, directed by the loop 5, find one on top of the other and go into the tube.

On fig. 51, D shows a coin with beveled cuts in plan view. The coin has three parts: 6 and 7 - side and 8 - middle. All these parts, as we have already said, are fixed at the ends of three wires in such a way that they form a whole coin with barely noticeable cuts. The length of the wires is calculated so that when the rod 2 rests against the upper end of the slot, the three parts of the coin completely come out of the tube and unite into a whole ruble. When the rod is pulled down with the button, the coin should fold, and all three parts of it should fully enter the tube.

Before the performance, the button of the rod is pulled down - and the three parts of the coin are drawn into the tube. Having lowered the end of the wand into the spectator's pocket, the magician imperceptibly lifts the button up with the thumb of his right hand - and a coin appears at the end of the wand (see Fig. 50, B). Having shown the coin, the performer only pretends to take it in his left hand, but in fact, under the cover of his left hand, he hides parts of the coin inside the stick; at this time, in his palm lies a whole ruble, previously taken out of his left pocket. This, as it were, taken from the end of the stick, he throws the ruble into the glass. Then, when turning the body, the illusionist takes out a second ruble from his pocket. Then everything goes according to the description.

It is possible to attach a spiral spring pushing upwards inside the stick under the rod 2. Then the ruble will always be pushed outward. At the right time, it will have to be removed inside the tube by moving the button of the rod down with your thumb.

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.

A new type of carbon-based battery 24.05.2014

Japanese company Power Japan Plus has introduced a new type of battery that can be used in cars and other equipment.

The development was called Ryden, or "double carbon battery". The peculiarity of the new battery is that it can charge up to 20 times faster than the currently common lithium-ion batteries. Another significant advantage of the new batteries is that they do not heat up and do not need to be cooled.

The invention may well revolutionize the market for hybrid and electric vehicles due to its characteristics.

According to the developers, the battery they created does not need the use of cobalt, manganese and nickel. It only needs carbon to produce it. This not only makes production cheaper, but also greatly improves the performance of the product. Importantly, end-of-life batteries can be more easily disposed of because they do not contain rare earth elements.

According to the developers, their Power Japan Plus batteries are designed for 3 or more charge / discharge cycles.
