Focus Description:

The magician shows both hands empty. A light, barely noticeable wave of the hand - a card appears in it. In our case, this is the eight of hearts (Fig. 73).

A slight wave of both hands at the same time - the card disappears from the left and appears in the right. Again, light waves with both hands - and the card disappears from the right and appears in the left hand. This is repeated several times.

In conclusion, the card disappears completely and the magician shows the audience both hands empty.

Props:

Two simple cards (in our case, two eights of hearts).

Focus secret:

The secret is very simple, but in order to show the number well, a long, thorough training in front of the mirror is necessary. The whole secret lies in sleight of hand. One card is hidden behind the back of the hand, and the other is shown in the palm of your hand. Then the card from the back is transferred to the palm, and from the palm to the back of the hand.

Let's talk about manipulating a card in one hand, for example, in the right. Having mastered this technique well, it is easy to do the same with the card in the other hand.

The card is taken with the index and thumb (Fig. 74, A). A small wave of the hand centimeters 6 down and then 10 up. During the swing, the following is done with the card: bend the middle and ring fingers and lightly press the card against them, pressing with the thumb, as shown in Fig. 74, B. With the pressure of the thumb, the card is forced to slide up to the second joints of the middle and ring fingers. Then they immediately bend the index and little fingers, capturing the corners of the map between the index and middle and between the ring and little fingers (Fig. 74, B). Now the fingers are pressed as tightly as possible to each other. The performer unbends his palm - the card is on its back side and is not visible to the audience (Fig. 74. D). By doing everything in the reverse order, you will force the card to "move" back to the palm of your hand in its original position.

This manipulation must be done very quickly. Light waving of the hand is used only as a distraction to hide the movement of the card and fingers from the audience. It is necessary to train both the right and left hands equally in manipulating the card.

Before demonstrating the trick, the performer places both cards on the back of the palms (Fig. 74, D) and shows the audience empty hands. Then he transfers both cards to the palm and shows the back of the palms. Making a slight movement with his right hand, the magician, as it were, catches a card from the air and shows it to the audience (see Fig. 74, A). He puts it in his palm, and then everything goes according to the description. The trick is interesting because with a skillful display it can be repeated several times.

If you wish, you can also reveal to the audience the "secret" of the trick: demonstrate the technique by which the card disappears and appears, but this must be done very cleanly, quickly, so that they can appreciate the technique of your show.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Heliomobiles will go on sale 14.03.2007

In the fall of 2006, the automotive company Venturi, operating in Monaco, demonstrated at the World Automobile Salon in Paris a completely environmentally friendly vehicle - the Eclectic solar mobile.

Its roof carries a solar battery with an area of 2 square meters, the batteries that rotate the wheels are charged from the battery. You can also recharge from the network; in addition, a small folding wind-electric generator is hidden in the trunk of the solar car. In the parking lot, it extends and also charges the batteries. The travel range on a single charge is 5 kilometers, so the car is designed for city trips.

The first 200 vehicles will go on sale in June 2007, and this crew does not require a driver's license and the driver's age limit is 16 years and older.
