EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Cell on a stick. Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: There is a cage with a bird on the table. The magician takes a handkerchief from the table and, showing that it is empty, covers the cage with it. Then he lifts the cage covered with a scarf by the ring in the lid, takes a stick and puts the cage on a stick (Fig. 105, A). Raising the stick up, the performer slightly pushes it, a handkerchief falls from the stick, and the cage disappears (Fig. 105, B).
Props: A dissected cage with a live bird. A table with a special hatch for the disappearance of the cage. Folding frame imitating the top of the cage. Prepared stick for the disappearance of the frame in it. Coverlet. The secret of the trick lies in the fact that the illusionist places a folding frame made in the form of umbrella rods on top of the cage in advance (Fig. 106, B). In the center of the frame is a circle, to which rods are attached on hinges. They can fold up if you lower the circle down. A ring is attached to the mug from below, and a hook from above. The whole device is made of 106 mm iron and soldered to the mug. On fig. XNUMXA shows a real cage with a scaffold placed on top of it.
Having put the cage on the table and covered it with a scarf, the performer moves it in such a way that it stands above the hatch, where it falls at the right moment, and the magician has only a frame covered with a scarf in his hands. The audience takes him for a cage. You can trim the top of the cage with a piece of cloth of the same color as the table cover. When the cage disappears into the table, the audience will mistake the cover for a whole tablecloth. Various options for the disappearance of cells are possible. For example, it is convenient to use a folding cage. The performer, taking the frame covered with a scarf, puts it on a stick and, without looking at his hands, tries to touch the hook of the mechanics of the stick with the lower ring of the frame. Easily lifting the frame up, the magician makes sure that he is correctly put on the hook with a ring. Then the performer raises the stick up and, unnoticed by the audience, pulls on the string, which pulls out the spring lock. The spring enclosed in the stick instantly retracts inside, and the frame folds like an umbrella and goes inside the stick, made of a thin-walled aluminum tube. The handkerchief falls down to the floor, which is helped by the performer himself, lifting the stick up at this time. On fig. 106, B shows a cross section of a stick. A frame covered with a scarf was placed on it. On fig. 106, D shows the internal mechanics of the stick and the folded frame. A spring or strong rubber ends with a hook at the top, and the magician puts the bottom ring of the frame on it. In mechanics, a stopper is made in the form of a small piston, at the upper end of which a hook is attached to put on the frame ring. On the side, at the top of the stick, a hole is made, inclined from the bottom up (it is shown in Fig. 106, C and D). A rod with a ring at the end is inserted into this hole, to which a strong, inconspicuous nylon thread is tied. To charge the stick, proceed as follows. The spring is lifted up with a special wire hook and the rod is inserted into the hole, going obliquely from top to bottom, through the stick and spring bushings (in our figure, from right to left). If the rod is pulled out by the thread, it jumps out of the tube and releases the spring, which immediately drags the existing frame with it. We deliberately do not indicate either the dimensions or the exact arrangement of the mechanics, leaving all this to be done by the amateur himself. When constructing the apparatus, we advise you to make a circle on the frame, which would easily fit inside the stick, and the rods would easily fold. To do this, take an aluminum tube of sufficient diameter. Outside, it should be painted to match the color of the tree, so that viewers are convinced that the stick is wooden. The mechanics of the stick can be made from a spring or from a tight elastic rubber. We believe that it is easier to use a thread for this, at the end of which you can attach a small circle with a hook. The circle is slightly jammed with a piece of a match. When the thread is pulled down, the circle will also slip down, dragging the frame with it. You can think of many more possible options for solving this trick. It is necessary to work out the number in such a way that the viewer cannot notice the disappearance of the cage in the table, as well as how you put the bottom ring of the frame on the mechanics hook and pull the thread. After performing the trick, the stick must be thrown backstage with a careless gesture, where an assistant catches it, and the performer himself transfers all his attention to the handkerchief that has fallen to the floor, picks it up and shows it to the public.
