Focus Description:

The magician shows a small velvet or silk bag - a net with an upper nickel-plated rim (Fig. 373, A). Then, wanting to prove that the net contains nothing in itself, he turns it inside out. He asks the audience to borrow the small things he needs: scarves, coins, rings. Having received things, he puts them in a net and immediately turns it inside out. Items "disappeared" completely or were replaced by others (at the request of the illusionist).

Focus secret:

The secret is very simple. Figure 373, B shows a cross-section of the net. It can be seen that inside the rim there is a wire semicircle embedded at the ends into the hoop. The semicircle in the figure is lowered down. The net itself is sewn from two parts - bags. The outer one has a single cover made of velvet or silk. The inner bag is made of satin and divided in half by a strip of fabric sewn into it. It is sewn to the semicircle. When you turn the semicircle, one half of the bag opens or closes, and when you turn it back, the other half opens. Since the semicircle fits inside the nickel-plated rim, it seems to the audience that they are seeing the same bag all the time. With an imperceptible movement of the index or middle finger, the semicircle can be moved either in one direction, opening the first half of the inner bag with a septum, or in the other direction, closing the newly opened half and opening its second part.

If we put, for example, a scarf in a net and move the semicircle to the other side, then the partition will hide the scarf and it will not be visible even if we turn the net inside out.

If we put some other object, for example gloves, into a net loaded with a handkerchief, and imperceptibly move the semicircle to the other side, then the handkerchief will appear in the net, and the gloves will “disappear”: they will be in the other half of the bag, and they will not be visible, even if the net is turned inside out.

The nickel plated rim is U-shaped with a round top. The sectional view of the rim is shown in Fig. 373, V. The large dot indicates the section of the semicircle included in the rim. The landing net of this model is very simple. It will be useful to the amateur for many tricks.

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 ... >>
