Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

The magician shows the audience glass taken from a table on which there is a wooden stand. Next to it lies a curtain cord about one meter long (Fig. 132, A).

Focus The lace goes through the glass
Fig. 132

Having shown the glass to everyone, the illusionist places it in a stand that has two wide crossbars at the top. In the middle of the crossbar there are round holes with a diameter of 1 cm. Taking the lace, the performer threads it through the front hole and immediately pulls it out from the other side. The cord passes freely through the glass (Fig. 132, B). The magician pulls it back and forth several times, then removes it. Having removed the glass from the stand, he goes into the audience, where he shows everyone the glass and the cord.

Props:

Ordinary thick glass about 25x40 cm in size, 5-10 mm thick.

Curtain cord 1 m long.

Stand on legs with a secret device.

Focus secret:

The secret of this cryptic trick is similar to the secret of the trick in the "Lace and cube"Therefore, we will not describe the secret in detail here. The stand has a crossbar made of two planks 12 cm wide; the distance between them is 5-6 mm (depending on the thickness of the lace). The thickness of the planks (7-9 mm) makes it easy to make they have a recess for passing the lace and laying the thread before performing the trick. The hole must be rounded and polished so that the lace slides easier. Note that, unlike the above-mentioned trick, a “magic” wand cannot be passed through the glass, but the glass itself, in its appearance, excludes any or the mechanics hidden in it. The whole difficulty is that you need to learn how to very quickly thread the lace by inserting its end into a thread loop, and then, having hidden the thread unnoticed, you need to slowly pull the lace “through the glass” back and forth.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Biocompatible electrode cloth for clothing 15.02.2013

Japanese companies Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) announced the development of an electrode material that can be "sewn" into clothing fabric. A high-tech fabric is obtained by coating silk and synthetic fiber structures with a conductive PEDOT-PSS polymer.

The resulting material is highly flexible, not afraid of water and strong enough. According to the developers, such a fabric does not cause skin irritation and discomfort when touched directly and is biocompatible.

Unlike previous similar designs based on silver-plated fibers, the electrode tissue is characterized by a low noise level and can be used for applications such as continuous recording of an electrocardiogram. The novelty has already been tested on ten patients. After several days of continuous wearing of this fabric, people did not feel any discomfort. At the same time, the data were accurately measured.

In the future, developers plan to conduct more thorough testing of their product. In addition, the material can be used not only to obtain an electrocardiogram, but also in electroencephalography, remote patient monitoring, and telemedicine services.
