EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Cell in a box. Focus Secret
Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: There is a small beautiful box made of polished wood on the table. The magician opens the lid and shows that it is empty (Fig. 103, A). Taking various things: ribbons, scarves, etc., he puts them in a box. He takes the box in his hands and shows the audience that it is filled to the brim with various things. Then he puts the box on the table in the same place where it stood and, opening the lid, takes out of the box a cage with a bird, and the cage is of such a size that it occupies the entire box (Fig. 103, B). The magician shows the cage with the bird to the audience.
Props: Box with a secret device. Cage with a sliding bottom and a bird. Focus secret: The secret of the trick lies in the arrangement of the box and the sliding bottom of the cage. The box is made of hard durable cardboard and pasted over inside with calico. It is equipped with two doors, and inside has a second box with double walls. On fig. 104, And the box is shown in section in the position in which various things are put into it. Here 1 - the outer four walls of the box; 2 - doors, top and bottom; 3 - a cell with a sliding bottom in the section; 4 - an inner box in which they put different things; 5 - folding wire handle of the cage, it is placed on the cage above the bird (see Fig. 104, A). As can be seen from the figure, the outer box is in such a position that the inner one - 4 - is open, and you can put any things in it. The cell charged in the box is located at the bottom, between the double walls of the outer box 1 and the inner box 4. If we now close box A with lid 2, turn it upside down and open the second lid 2 (see Fig. 104, B), then the cage can be easily removed by the handle from the box. The sliding bottom on which the bird sits, under the influence of its own gravity and the weight of the bird, will sink down to the bent corners of the cage and become its normal bottom.
The cage is made of tin corners soldered together and wire rods 1 mm thick soldered to them. A wire handle is attached to the top of the cage on rings, which can be folded. The bottom of the cage, made of sheet metal, must fit exactly inside the cage. Rings are soldered to the bottom, loosely wrapped around four corner wires, which are closest to the tin squares. Such rings allow the bottom to easily slide up and down the wires. When the cage is completely taken out of the box, the sliding bottom falls down with the bird, and the audience does not have any suspicion. To make the bottom heavier and lower better, you can attach a small weight made of tin or lead to it. We do not give the dimensions of the cage and the box: they are determined by the performer himself and are directly dependent on the size of the bird. Behind the scenes, the bird is loaded into the cage in advance (for this, there is a small door in the ceiling of the cage). The box is placed in the position shown in Fig. 104, B, and the cage is carefully lowered down between the walls of the box. The bottom of the cage will lie motionless on the bottom of the box 4. As soon as the whole cage enters the box, close the lid 2 tightly and, turning the box over, place it with the cage down, as shown in Fig. 104, A. In this position, the box is placed on the table and taken out onto the stage. During the demonstration, the numbers open lid 2 (on the side where box 4 is) and put things in there. Then they close the lid, after showing the things in the box to the audience. At the moment when the box is placed on the table, it is imperceptibly turned over so that the lid where the cage is placed is at the top. They open the lid, take out the cage with the bird and show it to the audience. The box is painted to look like laminated wood and the lids are sealed flush. Be sure to make marks on any cover so that they are not confused. Both lids are also painted exactly the same. The box pasted over with calico is primed inside and out, the inside is painted with black matte paint, and on the outside, as it was said, they make an imitation of layered wood. When demonstrating the trick "Flying a cage with a bird", the demonstration of the number takes place on two tables. On the right they put a box with a cell charged in it, lid down; the top cover of the box 4 is put up and opened. The show starts from the right table. Next to the box put all the things that will then be put in the box. On the left table they put a box with 4 loaded inside the room exactly the same things that are on the right table. The box is placed with things down, and the cage room is turned with the open lid up. Nearby on the table there is a cage with a bird. The magician, showing different things on the right table, puts them in a box, closes the box and, imperceptibly turning it over, puts the lid up and the things down. Approaching the left table, he takes the box in his hand and lowers the cage with the bird into it. Having closed the lid, he discreetly turns the box over, placing it upside down with the lid and the cage down. The performer reminds the audience that things are on the right, and a cage is on the left. Makes passes and opens the left box. It contains things that, in front of everyone, were put in the right box. Then he opens the right box and extracts a cage with a bird from it, which he shows to the public. Author: Vadimov A.A.
