Focus Description:

The magician takes a light silk handkerchief from the table, waves it and shows it from all sides. Waving again, he takes out a flower in a pot from a handkerchief and puts it on a table (Fig. 86, A). Again he shows the handkerchief - it is empty, and again, with a second wave, he takes out another flower pot from it. This is repeated four or five times. A whole row of pots with bushes of blooming flowers is lined up on the table. The illusionist, pointing to the flowers, says: "You see, there was a whole flower shop in a scarf!" Then he shows the handkerchief again and places it on the table next to the flowers.

Props:

Four or five specially designed artificial flower pots with feather flowers.

Large silk scarf (100x100 cm).

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in the arrangement of pots. They are made of cloth dyed in the color of clay. On fig. 86, B shows a flower with a folded pot. A spring is enclosed inside, which keeps the pot in a stretched state all the time. In appearance, such a pot is no different from the usual. At the top is a metal cover covered with imitation earth. A hole is drilled in the center of the lid, through which the central thick rod of the flower passes. All other flowers and leaves are attached to it. The rod with its lower end is tightly attached to the bottom of the pot. At a height of about 3 cm from the bottom, the rod has a hinge w, which allows it to be bent at a right angle. The hinge also serves as a stopper when folding the pot (see Fig. 86, B).

Having folded the pot, bend the hinge on the rod. Now the pot won't open. In this form, it can be easily put under a vest, from where the illusionist takes it out at the right time.

Taking out the flower, the rod is bent, and the pot will stretch itself under the action of the spring. The hinge will be below the top metal cap, so the rod will be held perfectly straight. The hinge should not be made very loose, but should rotate with some resistance, otherwise the pot may open prematurely or the rod will wiggle.

With a little skill, you can easily hide under the vest, on both sides, up to eight of these pots. For variety, you can place four pots under one side of the vest, and under the other - any other items.

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. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Ash and cinder locator 17.05.2012

English physicist Fred Prata, who works at the Norwegian Institute for Atmospheric Research, has created an infrared digital camera mounted under the wing of an aircraft that sees a volcanic cloud of ash and cinders from afar.

As you know, such a cloud from an Icelandic volcano caused a crisis in air traffic in almost all of Europe in the spring of 2010. In an aircraft flying at an altitude of 10 kilometers, the camera is able to detect ash from a distance of 100 kilometers or more, giving the pilot 10 minutes to maneuver. The system was tested in November 2011 over Mount Etna, which was just smoking at the time.

According to the inventor, if all airliners are provided with installations, in the event of eruptions, flights will not have to be canceled. And if you put infrared cameras on at least a hundred regular aircraft, this will be enough for the operational study and forecast of the situation over the whole of Europe.
