Focus Description:

There is a small table on the stage, on which a jug of water, a small glass and a glass are placed. The magician declares that he has the most ordinary water in the jug. Pouring it into a glass, he drinks water. Then, he takes a glass from the table and passes it to the audience for inspection. Having received the glass back, the illusionist fills it with water; taking a step towards the audience, he stumbles and spills half the glass. Again he pours water from the jug into it and puts it on his palm (Fig. 109, A).

At the same time, the artist declares that it is not difficult for him to freeze water in a glass of "One! Two! Three!" he says, and immediately turns the glass over. Water does not pour out (Fig. 109, B). The magician takes the glass in the other hand, while slightly shaking it from side to side. Water does not spill. After that, the performer again puts the glass on his palm and, taking it with his other hand, pours the water back into the jug.

If desired, the same trick can be immediately repeated with a glass.

Props:

Jug with water.

Small glass.

Glass.

Two celluloid mugs, cut to size for the top of a cup and shot glass.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick lies in the fact that the illusionist imperceptibly covers a glass filled with water "with edges" with a thin plate of celluloid or plexiglass. When the glass is turned over, water does not pour out, as air presses on the plate from below. The plate - very thin - fits snugly to the edges of the glass, so that a complete illusion is created that the water has instantly frozen. To successfully show the number, you need to pick up a glass of such a size that the diameter of its upper edge is equal to the diameter of its stem. This will help to more conveniently and discreetly keep the circle at the ready. First of all, the upper edges of the glass need to be made perfectly even so that they have more grip with the circle. To do this, laying a sheet of fine sandpaper on a flat table, draw the edges of the glass along the sandpaper several times.

The circle is cut out of thin transparent celluloid or plexiglass. Its edges in the same way should be made very smooth, and in size - equal to the edges of the glass and leg. In order for the plate to hold better on the glass, an emery should be made on the plate with an edge-strip, the width of which should be equal to the thickness of the glass wall.

In the same way, a circle is cut out to the cup and the edge of the cup is also prepared.

Before the performance, one circle is attached to the stem of the glass from below, and the second to the bottom of the glass. To do this, the circle is lowered into the water and the bottom of the glass or glass is immersed there. The circle is attached to the bottom of the vessel and, pressing, take it out, remove the remaining water and carefully wipe it with a towel. A glass and a glass are placed on the table upside down: it is more convenient to take them in your hands along with the mug. Spectators will not notice the mug: it sticks tightly to the bottom.

Taking a glass to pour water, the magician puts it on his palm (see Fig. 109, A) and, closing his palm, quietly removes the circle from the bottom. After pouring water into a glass and passing it to the other hand, the performer imperceptibly covers the glass with a circle and presses it tightly to the edges. The glass should be poured to the top so that the liquid in it protrudes slightly. Place the circle on the glass evenly. Slightly pressing it to the edges, make sure that the water does not spill and the audience would not notice the movement of the circle when closing the glass. The plate-circle will immediately stick very tightly to the edges, and it will take some effort to remove it. Remove the plate, using the moment of transferring the glass from one hand to the other.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

SONY Unveils DVD Burner with Internet Access 23.04.2003

Sony has introduced a new digital recorder equipped with a DVD drive and 80 GB hard drive called the NDR-XR1.

This device differs from its counterparts in that it can connect to the Internet via a broadband channel. In addition, the NDR-XR1 is equipped with a built-in browser that allows the user to browse the web using a TV connected to this unit.

It's not so easy to find a suitable name for the NDR-XR1, the set of functions that this device has is extremely large. It allows you to record TV programs on the built-in hard drive, a signal from a camcorder via the DV input, as well as images from Memory Stick media. Of course, all this can then be rewritten to DVD discs. In addition to being able to read DVD-R/RW, DVD Video and many CD formats, the NDR-XR1 can burn DVD-R/RW discs. Through the Internet, the NDR-XR1 can connect to special servers containing TV programs, making it easy to automatically program it to record specific TV broadcasts.

In addition, the user will be able to control the NDR-XR1 via the Internet using his mobile phone, which must also have access to the Network. In general, this device can do almost everything related to playing and recording video and TV programs.

Perhaps its only drawback is its high price, which is about $1200.
