Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Passing with one hand (volt) is used in many tricks. Its use is especially successful when the viewer, in the course of performing the number, must draw a card from the deck and notice it. The illusionist addresses the viewer: "Did you notice? Now, please, put this card into the deck." With his left hand, the performer holds out the deck to the viewer, holding it in the palm of his hand and at the same time opening it with the thumb of his right hand; he offers the deck to the spectator as shown in fig. 28.

This movement is so natural and unconstrained that the spectator, having stretched out and noticed a card, automatically puts it into the free gap formed in the deck. After that, the deck, as it were, slams shut, and the marked card is in the middle. In reality, the magician does not capture it, but, putting his little finger on the marked card, makes a volt with the other hand. Due to the movement, the lower part of the deck will take the position of the upper one; thus, the card marked by the viewer is transferred from the middle to the very top of the deck.

This technique allows the performer to master this card in the course of the trick and do with it as he needs it (from this example, you can judge what value the volt has in card tricks). Thanks to the volt, you can move any part of the deck by shifting one or more cards up or down, keeping them under control all the time and, moreover, completely invisible to the viewer.

To move cards from the middle of the deck to the very bottom, it is enough to place the little finger under the marked card, instead of placing it on the card, as was indicated in the previous example, and then make a volt. The marked card becomes the first from the bottom of the deck, if desired, it can always be easily peeped. It is not as easy to use volt and pass during the performance of tricks in the presence of spectators as it may seem after reading the description. This requires special art. So, for example, suppose a spectator draws a card, notices it, and puts it back in the middle of the deck. The performer needs to move the card up, that is, put the little finger on it and make a volt. When a card is returned to the deck, the spectator's eyes are naturally fixed on it; the look of the one who took the card will be especially attentive. And if at this moment the magician himself looks at the card, he can be sure: the volt will be noticed by the audience.

This is where the tactic comes into play. After a pause and looking into the eyes of the spectator who pulled out the card, the performer says something like this: "You noticed the card well and put it back into the deck. Right? Excellent! Did you remember it well?" While the performer is saying this, the audience naturally looks at him; taking advantage of this, the performer, with a habitual movement, mechanically makes a volt, without drawing attention to it. To work "blindly", you need good training.

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 ... >>

ARM Cortex-A12 processor manufactured using 28nm-SLP process technology 24.03.2014

At the CDNLive Silicon Valley 2014 event, Cadence Design Systems and Globalfoundries announced the availability of the first quad-core ARM Cortex-A12 trial chip manufactured using the 28nm-SLP (Super Low Power 28nm High-K Metal Gate) process technology.

The processor is implemented using Cadence tools and ARM POP technology. It operates at frequencies up to 2 GHz, while the power consumption and the area of the crystal remained within the limits typical for such mobile processors.

Cadence and Globalfoundries complete first trial ARM Cortex-A12 processor based on 28nm-SLP process technology
Upgrading to Cortex-A12 from Cortex-A9 provides a 40% performance boost without increasing power consumption.

The successful release of the Cortex-A12 using the 28nm-SLP process will further the introduction of the new processor into SoCs for smartphones and tablets.
