EFFECTIVE FOCUSES AND THEIR CLUES Where is the milk? Focus Secret Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues Focus Description: On the table is a glass transparent jug filled with milk, next to it is a newspaper. The performer, having approached the table and, taking a newspaper from it, rolls up a bag ("pound"). Holding it in his left hand, he takes a jug with his right hand and pours milk from it into a "pound" (Fig. 118).
The spectators can clearly see how the milk is decreasing in the jug. The magician stops pouring and looks inside the "pound", as if wondering if it's enough? Then again pours milk into the "pound". The milk in the jug decreases, its level goes down. The illusionist puts the jug on the table. The audience sees that there is very little left in the jug of milk. The performer carries the "pound" to the audience, but stumbles a little - and the milk spills a little on the floor. The magician, with even greater caution, carries the "pound" to the audience and, approaching the proscenium, "splashes" the milk into the auditorium. The audience in the front rows jumps up in fear, but immediately everyone sees that multi-colored confetti is falling from the bag instead of milk. The artist unfolds the "pound" and shows that it is completely empty. Having crumpled the newspaper, he throws it backstage. Props: Glass transparent jug with a secret device. Newspaper prepared for confetti. Rubber fingertip. Secret of focus The secret of the trick is divided into three parts: the secret of the jug, the secret of the "pound" and the secret of the milk splashed out of the "pound". The secret of the jug is clear from fig. 119, which schematically shows a jug A and a glass beaker B glued to its bottom.
Milk is charged into the space between the walls of the jug and the outer walls of the glass, which remains empty inside. When the jug is tilted, the magician pretends to pour milk into the "pound", while in the sard case, milk enters the glass through its edges. The jug should be painted like crystal: the picture hides the glass from the audience. When showing the trick, you must always carefully monitor that the jug does not move away from the "pound". To do this, you need to keep the "pound" slightly inclined, lifting its front edge up. It is necessary to determine in advance to what level it is necessary to pour milk from a jug. Make sure that the liquid level in the glass and in the jug match, then the glass will not be noticeable. The top edge of the glass will be sufficiently masked by the stripes drawn on the neck of the jug. The main condition for the success of the performance is that there should be as little distance as possible between the outer walls of the glass and the inner walls of the jug, which will more effectively show how much milk is poured into the “pound” from the jug. Newspaper secret very simple. A pocket is placed between two strips of newspaper, where confetti is poured in advance. Rolling up the "pound" newspaper, the magician must be very careful: not a single piece of paper should fall out, otherwise this will expose part of the number. For greater safety, you can do this: glue the two halves of the newspaper together, leaving a small space in the upper edge, into which you can fill in confetti, and then glue the top. Then the confetti will not fall prematurely out of the newspaper. It is necessary to calculate and mark in advance the place where the confetti lies, so that it exactly falls on the upper edge of the "pound". Having rolled up the "pound" and having done everything necessary with it, you can tear off its upper edge in advance, thereby preparing the next movement - throwing out confetti. To make it easier to tear off the edge of the newspaper, it is pricked with a needle, making a perforation in the right place, which happens on postage stamps. The secret to splashing milk is simple. It is based on the use of a rubber fingertip, which can be bought at a pharmacy. Milk is poured into the fingertip, making sure that it is stretched as much as possible: when pressed with a hand, it will burst more easily. Having poured milk into the fingertip, the performer wraps it up, ties it very tightly with a thread and puts it behind the cover on the table or simply hides it in his pocket. At the right moment, the magician imperceptibly takes it into the palm of his left hand, where he palms it for the entire time while the milk is pouring from the jug into the "pound". Then, at the right moment, when the magician supposedly stumbles, he imperceptibly presses on the fingertip, breaks through it, and the milk splashes on the floor. It is not difficult to hide and keep the rest of the rubber in your hand. This number, simple in secret and adaptations, requires, however, a large and careful working out of all provisions. It is good to conduct all the preparation in front of a mirror. Finally, two practical tips. The glass should be simple, round, without a pattern, and its edge must necessarily coincide with the lines of the pattern on the jug. Instead of a jug, you can use a glass mug, like a beer mug. The glass must be glued to the bottom of the jug. To do this, you can use BF-2 glue. Author: Vadimov A.A.
