Focus Description:

The artist looks through the receiver into the auditorium, suddenly, noticing something, he puts the receiver on the table and goes to the audience. Approaching one of the spectators, the magician asks him to stand up. Then, quickly putting his hand into one of the inside pockets of the spectator's costume, he takes out a burning candle from there and, covering the flame from the wind, returns to the stage, extinguishes the "candle" and puts it on the table.

Props and trick secret. The whole secret of this number is in the props, that is, in the candle. The candle in its structure should be an exact copy of the "candle" that disappeared in the previous issue. You can make it from any material and pour it over with hot stearin after painting, then the "candle" will look like a real one. The main secret part of the "candle" is a very small lighter with a strong wheel that gives large sparks (Fig. 235). A wick pre-soaked in aviation gasoline is inserted into a hole drilled inside the "candle". The lighter is attached motionlessly so that the sparks from it fall exactly on the wick.

The difficulty of this number is to put the "candle" in the spectator's pocket. Most often, magicians use "replants" for this, that is, they specially plant people in the auditorium, from whom they get the things they need during the trick. But this is usually used by professional magicians, and it is inconvenient for an amateur performing in front of his friends. Therefore, another method will have to be found. You can put a "candle" inside the left sleeve, attaching it with a rubber strip to your arm. Approaching the viewer, unbutton the buttons on his jacket with your right hand and, moving the hem of the jacket to the side, come close to the viewer, fixing his attention on your right hand. At this time, reach into his pocket with your left hand and immediately lower the “candle” there. Then immediately take out your left hand and, as if continuing to look for something, put your right hand into your pocket, light the "candle" and slowly take it out. After showing the "candle" to the audience, quickly return to the stage, covering the lighter with your hand, as if you want to protect the flame from the wind.

The second no less good way is to hide the "candle" under the right side of the vest. Approaching the viewer, you need to unbutton the jacket, take the left floor and, approaching him closely, under the cover of this floor, remove the "candle" from under the vest. Then imperceptibly raise it, light it up and take it out as if from the viewer's pocket.

You can find other ways, as well as come up with another design for a self-igniting "candle". A "candle" can be ignited from small electrical elements, then a small spiral should be made near the wick, which will glow from the current when the batteries are turned on. Experiment, it will bring you great benefit - it will develop your abilities in the design of focal equipment.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

It got cold all of a sudden 05.06.2010

Significant climate change is considered to occur slowly. However, Canadian researchers from the University of Saskatchewan showed that during the Little Ice Age, which began 12 years ago and lasted 800 years, the cold came into its own very quickly - in just a few months.

Canadians have studied sediments that have been accumulating for thousands of years at the bottom of a lake in the west of Ireland. It turned out that 12 years ago, in less than a year, all living things practically disappeared in this lake. As the authors of the study say, "the lake seemed to have been moved from Ireland to Svalbard in one moment."

The reason for such a sharp cooling is known: because of the warming, the ice dams that enclosed the glacial lakes in Canada collapsed. Billions of cubic meters of cold water poured into the Atlantic. Because of this, the warm Gulf Stream was interrupted and the entire Northern Hemisphere was overgrown with ice for thousands of years.
