Finding a card chosen by the viewer in the deck (three ways). The Secret of Focus

Spectacular tricks and their clues

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

The first method

Focus Description:

The magician gives the audience a deck of cards to shuffle. Then he carefully shuffles it himself again and places the deck on the table; asks someone to take out one card and show it to the audience. During this time, the magician turns away and does not see the card. He asks to put it on the table, side up, and covers it with the entire deck. Then he carefully shuffles the deck, removes the top card and shows it to the audience. The card turns out to be the same one that the spectator chose and noticed.

Props:

A simple deck of cards.

Focus secret:

While shuffling the cards, the magician notices the bottom one, then places the deck on the table. The spectator places the selected card under it. The performer carefully shuffles the deck again, ensuring at all times that the bottom two cards are together. Shuffling, he moves both of these cards to the top of the deck, and then shifts the top one (under which the chosen one was placed) down. At the top remains the card noticed by the viewer.

You can diversify this trick by placing the noticed garth on the top of the deck so that one of its side edges protrudes to the side by two centimeters. If you then throw the entire deck onto the table, side up, the desired card will turn over by itself due to air resistance against its extended edge.

second method

Focus Description:

The magician gives the audience a deck of cards, asks them to shuffle it and pick it up. After that, having taken the deck, the performer invites someone to take out one card, remember it and put it in the middle of the deck. The illusionist lifts the deck and throws it on the floor. The card chosen by the spectator, turned face up, turns out to be to the side of the whole deck, lying face up.

Props:

A simple deck of cards.

Focus secret:

When the spectator has drawn a card, the magician quickly divides the deck into two parts. In his right hand he holds half the deck motionless, on which he asks the spectator to place the card he noticed. With his left hand, the performer bends the second half of the deck in an arc, as in the “bridge” manipulation.

Holding half the deck between the thumb and the other four fingers, he slightly moves the thumb towards the others, bending the deck at the same time, and covers it with the palm of the same hand. When the cards bend upward with their narrow edges, the magician covers with them the card placed by the spectator on half of the deck in his right hand. The illusionist removes the deck, but in fact moves the bent half of the deck down.

Thus, the noticed card turns out to be on top. The bent half is imperceptibly straightened, and the selected card is moved sideways by 2 cm and the entire deck is thrown onto the floor, speckled up. The selected card will turn over due to the resistance of the air flow hitting its edge when the deck falls, and will fly off to the side. Everyone sees that the card noticed by the spectator “turned over on its own” and “jumped out” from the deck.

A third method

Focus Description:

The magician, having carefully shuffled the deck, places it on the table with its ends facing up and invites the viewer to arrange the cards into two piles. The performer takes one part for himself, and asks the viewer to take the second; at the same time, he offers to choose any card and show it, unnoticed by the magician, to everyone present at the session. Then the illusionist offers to place the selected card on the table, side up, and cover it with the rest of the cards in the spectator’s possession.

After this, the magician places his cards on top of the half-deck placed by the spectator and asks the top card to be placed in the middle of the deck. Then he asks the spectator to place the top card again at the bottom of the deck, and the next one after it again in the middle of the deck. When all this has been done, the performer picks up the cards, spreads them out like a fan, and immediately unmistakably names the card chosen by the spectator.

Props:

A simple deck of cards.

Focus secret:

When a magician is given half a deck and he invites the spectator to choose any card, he turns away for a few seconds so that no one thinks that he is spying. At this time, he quietly remembers the second card from the top.

After the spectator places his half of the deck on the table, the illusionist places his half on top and asks the spectator to put the top card in the middle of the deck, and the second (noted by the magician) - under the bottom of the deck (under the card chosen and noticed by the spectator). After this, another card is placed in the middle, then the deck is lifted and unfolded, speckled down, fan-shaped, starting from bottom right to left - counterclockwise. The performer quietly searches with his eyes for the card he has noticed; To the left of it there will always be a card chosen by the spectator.

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 ... >>

New technology will speed up smartphone charging by 2,5 times 13.09.2015

Qualcomm, the world's largest smartphone chip manufacturer, has unveiled its next-generation Quick Charge technology, Quick Charge 3.0. Compared to Quick Charge 2.0, it allows you to charge your smartphone about a third faster, while the heat generated during charging is reduced by 45%. The technology was first introduced in early 2013.

Quick Charge 3.0 allows you to charge your smartphone four times faster than devices that do not support Quick Charge and other similar technologies.

Quick Charge 3.0 is capable of charging a smartphone battery up to 80% in 35 minutes, while for smartphones without Quick Charge technology, this time is an average of 1,5 hours.

The technology dynamically changes the voltage at the battery contacts so that maximum current flows through it at any time. Approximately the same technology was described in the invention of the start-up Qnovo from California in August 2014. Its authors claimed a fourfold increase in the speed of charging the battery without increasing its degradation.

To realize the potential of the technology, it is necessary that it be supported by both the mobile device itself and its charger. The technology may be present in the device as a separate integrated circuit or as part of an integrated circuit responsible for powering processors. If a smartphone equipped with Quick Charge is connected with a USB cable to a charger that does not have Quick Charge, there will be no effect.

Quick Charge 3.0 will be available as an option on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, including the Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617 and 430. The first smartphones to market with Quick Charge 3.0 will be available in 2016, Qualcomm says.
