Focus Description:

The performer, shuffling the deck, approaches one of the spectators and asks to take out one card, and then go on stage and show it to the audience. There is a table on the stage with an open box on it. Taking it in his hands, the magician shows that it is completely empty. Having placed the box on the table, he invites the viewer to tear the card he has taken out into small pieces and throw the pieces into the box. He fulfills (Fig. 78, A).

Focus Turning a torn card into a whole
Fig. 78

Taking one of the scraps of the card, the illusionist hands it to the spectator, closes the box and asks him to hold it tightly in his hands. With a “magic” wand he makes passes near the box, and then takes the box from the spectator and places it on the table. The magician asks an audience assistant what is in the box. When he replies that there is a torn card there, he asks to open the box. The spectator takes out the whole card (Fig. 78, B), but only without a corner. Everyone can see it. The performer takes a card without a corner and asks the spectator for the piece of the card that he gave him earlier. Place the corner on the map, it fits exactly.

Props:

Box for magic tricks with cards.

Card deck.

Focus secret:

The magician tears off a corner of the six of diamonds in advance and places the card in the box under the insert. The box is open on the table. The performer hides the corner in his pocket or discreetly places it under the box. He forces the spectator to see the six of diamonds (reserve).

When the spectator has torn the card and thrown out the scraps, the magician, under the pretext that he wants to straighten the scraps in the box, quietly takes a corner from the card, hands it to the spectator, carefully straightens the scraps in the box and closes it. After several passes, the illusionist must know exactly which side to place the box so that the card without a corner lies on top, and the scraps of cards are hidden under the insert that covers them.

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 ... >>

Chickens talk about geographical discoveries 04.12.2007

The Polynesians discovered America long before Columbus. This is the result of a study of half-decomposed chicken bones found in the remains of a human settlement on the southern coast of Chile.

Carbon dating has shown the bones to be from 1321 to 1407, at least 85 years before Columbus's discovery. DNA analysis from the bones showed that the chickens were not European breeds, but Polynesian.

Birds from the Easter Islands, Tonga and Samoa are closest to the Chilean chickens, so far it was believed that chickens were first brought to America by Spanish settlers around 1500.
