Focus Description:

The performer takes an ordinary tea glass, tightly closed with a piece of thin rubber, stretches it and presses it to the edges of the glass with a rubber ring.

Having shown this glass to the audience, the performer turns to them with a request to give him a ten-kopeck coin, which he promises to return immediately. Having received the coin, the performer says that it will now be in a closed glass. And when he, having counted to three, barely touched the top of the glass, the coin fell with a clink to its bottom, passing through the lid.

Then the performer asks the audience for a twenty-kopeck coin and does the same with it. The coin disappears in the performer's hand and instantly appears together with a ten-kopeck coin at the bottom of a closed glass.

Props:

For this trick you need a tea glass, a square rubber plate 1 mm thick, two coins in denominations of 10 and 20 kopecks. and a rubber ring.

Focus secret:

You need to stretch the rubber plate further and, placing both coins in the middle at some distance from each other, loosen the tension. The rubber will compress and hold both coins. Now you need to take the glass, cover it with rubber (the side with the coins should be facing the inside of the glass) and pull it over the edges. In this case, the rubber should not be stretched, as coins may fall out. But the rubber ring should fit very tightly around the edges of the glass and securely hold the ends of the rubber plate, which forms a lid that fits tightly on the glass.

In this form, the performer can, without fear, show the glass to the audience in any position. The coins will be held in rubber, and the audience will see only an empty glass (Fig. 1).

Having first borrowed a ten-kopeck coin from the spectator, the performer clutches it in his palm. Then, after counting to three, he presses the lid of the glass in the place where the ten-kopeck coin is “charged.” She falls into the glass.

Now the performer asks the viewer for a twenty-kopeck coin and does the same with it. When the second coin falls into the glass, the coins held in the palm of the hand can be placed in the pocket without the public noticing.

After this, the performer goes to the audience, removes the rubber lid from the glass, takes both coins out of it and returns them to their owners. After thanking the audience for participating in the trick, the performer goes up to the stage.

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. ... >>

Cancer magnet 03.09.2000

The magnetic method for the destruction of certain types of malignant tumors was tested in the large Berlin clinic "Charite".

A suspension of the smallest particles of iron oxide is injected directly into the tumor - the diameter of individual particles is only a few millionths of a millimeter. The patient is then subjected to an alternating magnetic field. At the same time, iron particles are heated to 45-47 degrees Celsius, this temperature is enough to kill tumor cells. The remaining tissues of the body, where there are no magnetic particles, do not heat up.

So far, the method has been successfully tested in mice, and testing in humans should begin soon.
