Session description:

From two metal rings or a sheet of thin paper, the artist makes an impromptu tambourine (or tambourine) in front of the public. She strikes the tambourine with her wand, rips through the paper, and pulls out an endless streamer of serpentine through the opening. Then, from a ball of serpentine, she takes out flowers, live rabbits, pigeons, sweets, etc.

Props:.

1. Two metal rings that fit one into the other. The rings are made in such a way that a sheet of paper can be laid between them and stretched. Rings with stretched paper will be like a tambourine (tambourine) or embroidery hoop.

2. Serpentine coil.

3. A sheet of white paper.

4. Flowers or objects that the performer will take out of the tambourine.

5. Scissors.

6. "Salon" table round or square.

7. "Servant".

Rings, paper and scissors are placed on the table. The coil of serpentine is placed under the tablecloth or on the "sideboard" so that the end of the ribbon comes out of the coil by half a centimeter. The tablecloth spreads flush with the side of the table to which the sideboard is attached. Those items that must be removed from the tambourine are placed on a "sideboard" attached behind the back of a chair or table.

Session demo:

The performer shows the rings and paper to the public (Fig. 93), saying: "From these two metal rings and a simple sheet of paper I will make a tambourine - a tambourine."

Fig. 93

Lay one ring on the table and a sheet of paper on top of it. Place the second ring on top of the paper and slide the rings one into the other. Press until the paper is pulled tight, then with the words: "Now I have to slightly trim the edges of it" - show the tambourine to the public (Fig. 94).

Fig. 94

Gently place the paper and rings back on the table, just in the place where the spool of serpentine is hidden. Take the scissors with your right hand, lifting the tambourine with your left. During this movement, the fingers of the left hand grab the coil of the serpentine and press it tightly with the plane of the coil to the side of the tambourine invisible to the viewer (Fig. 95).

When trimming the tambourine and trimming off any excess paper, keep the era upright.

Tell the audience: "Now the impromptu tambourine is ready. I'll try to play something on it."

Taking a wand, sharply hit the tambourine, making a small hole in its center (Fig. 96).

"Oh, what a misfortune!" you exclaim. With these words, put aside the stick and pull out a small piece of serpentine (Fig. 97).

Fig. 97

"Wow. There seems to be an infinite amount of it." Take the stick in your hand again, wrap it around the serpentine ribbon and continue to pull it out of the tambourine and wind it around the stick, rotating the latter from right to left in wide circles with a diameter of approximately 30 cm. The pulled ribbon seems endless, it forms a huge bundle in the right hand (Fig. 98) . Keep the fingers of your left hand behind the tambourine, and you can easily feel when the tape comes to an end. Then you throw a mass of serpentine on the sideboard, covering with serpentine objects that will have to be removed from the tambourine at the end of the trick.

Fig. 98

Looking sadly at the empty torn tambourine (Fig. 99), you say: "I don't think there's anything else in this tambourine. Yes. There's nothing else in it."

Fig. 99

Turning to a girl in the audience and pointing to a bunch of serpentine, say: "Maybe you, girl, use this paper for the carnival? I'll bring it all to you now."

Gather a whole bunch of serpentine in an armful and grab with it, along with the "sergeant", everything that you intend to show to the public.

"Here you are! Oh! What is it? Who is it? (Pulls out a live cat). What a cute kitten! Whom should I give it to? Maybe you, girl, will take a cat instead of carnival serpentine?" (Fig. 100).

Fig. 100

It often happens that a magician, speaking at children's matinees, performs a trick with a tambourine to present gifts to children. They are packed in advance in beautiful bags with a pattern, tied with a colored ribbon and placed directly on the floor of the stage near the side portal, carefully covered with cloth, a stage curtain or a screen. An armful of serpentine is not placed on the "sideboard" in the table, but is thrown directly on the floor, close to the gifts; under the pretext that the screen interferes with work, they move it away and imperceptibly throw a streamer over the whole pile of gifts. Then both gifts and serpentine are lifted from the floor and either placed on the table or carried to the public.

Gradually taking gifts out of the serpentine, they are distributed to children. Of course, the gifts that appeared in such a "wonderful" way are accepted by children with special pleasure.

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 ... >>

Random news from the Archive Antibiotics to fight superbugs 04.02.2019 Scientists around the world do not stop the fight against superbugs. These microorganisms are resistant to most modern antibiotics and pose a serious danger to humans, especially the sick. In search of a substance capable of defeating superbugs, researchers have repeatedly turned to animals. So, earlier hope for a successful outcome of scientific confrontation was given by the milk of platypuses and substances isolated from the surface of the body of some species of ants. Now scientists are interested in the possibilities of poisonous snakes. Specialists from the University of Queensland in Australia, together with Spanish researchers, have discovered protein fragments in the glands of South American rattlesnakes that can help fight superbugs. Researchers have isolated the peptide compound crotalicidin, which has antimicrobial, antitumor, and antifungal effects. At the same time, the substance does not harm ordinary cells at all. The scientists tested the power of crotalicidin on Escherichia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As a result, the peptide destroyed 90% of both types of bacteria. Moreover, the substance coped with Escherichia coli in one and a half to two hours, and with Pseudomonas aeruginosa - in five minutes. The secret of such a powerful antibacterial effect lies in the electrostatic attraction. The fact is that crotalicidin has a positive electrical charge, and the membranes of bacterial cells are negative. Due to this, the peptide is attracted to superbugs and destroys their membrane. At the same time, ordinary cells in the animal body do not risk anything - they do not have a charge, so the destroyer of superbugs does not pay anyone attention to them. It is expected that over time, crotalicidin will be used to make a new generation of antibiotics that can cope with superbugs.
