Focus Description:

The performer takes a bright ribbon folded into a ring from the table. He quickly unwinds it and pulls it on with both hands. It turns out that there were two identical pieces of tape in the ring. The performer takes the tapes closer to the middle so that the audience sees the four hanging ends. Then he goes to a burning candle, standing on an illusion table, and sets fire to the ribbons in the middle (Fig. 13, A). Now he had four pieces of ribbon in his hands. The performer says that it is easy to make four short pieces out of two large ribbons. But out of four segments, making two is much more difficult.

The magician invites two spectators to the stage, gives each of them two ends of the ribbons and asks them to pull them. Four scorched ends remain in the hands of the audience. The performer counts to three and releases his hand. Viewers see two completely whole tapes.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you will need two pieces of a bright ribbon 2 cm wide and 2-3 m long. The secret of the trick is in the third piece of the same color ribbon 30-40 cm long. This piece of ribbon is sewn together with a ring.

Before the start of the performance, the performer lays out both large pieces of tape on the table and puts their secret tape ring on the ends (Fig. 13, B). Now we need to "load" the tape. To do this, first twist the secret ring with a roll, and then, starting from the free end, twist two large pieces of tape together with the secret ring into a single roll (Fig. 13, B). The ribbon prepared in this way is placed along with other objects on the illusion table, where the candle should be.

The performer begins the demonstration of the trick by taking a tape roll from the table, and in such a way that the free end of the tape, together with the secret ring, is sandwiched in his palm. The tape roll is then unwound, thrown into the public. Then the performer passes the tapes through a clenched fist, showing the audience all four ends of both segments. After that, the magician stops his hands in the middle of the strips of ribbons, connects the ends of each ribbon together and spreads them in different directions, holding them with both hands. As can be seen from fig. 13, D, in the hands of the performer, instead of a large piece of tape, a tape ring is clamped, which the audience takes for the middle of the tape segments.

Then the performer holds a ribbon ring over the fire (Fig. 13, E), which burns and splits in half. Now the magician invites two spectators to the stage, and at this time, straightening the ends of the ribbons, he takes the middle of the real segments with his right hand (Fig. 13, E). His left hand quickly slides off the main sections of the ribbons, hiding the charred pieces of the secret ring in his fist. The performer takes a "magic" wand, leaving burnt pieces of ribbons on the table, and goes towards the audience. He gives each of them one end of the ribbon.

Having touched the hand with a stick, in which the midpoints of the sections of the ribbons are hidden, the performer opens his hand, and the audience sees the whole ribbons (Fig. 13, G).

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. ... >>

The secret of ancient wine 28.02.2015

In Israel, for the first time, grape seeds from the Byzantine era were found. This grape was used to make "wine from the Negev" - one of the best and most famous wines in the Byzantine Empire.

The charred seeds, more than 1500 years old, were discovered during excavations in the ancient city of Halutz in the Negev, during joint research by the University of Haifa and the Israel Antiquities Authority.

"Today, European grape varieties grow in the Negev, and the Negev vine has been lost to the world. Our next task is to recreate the ancient wine, and perhaps in this way we will be able to reproduce its taste and understand what made the wine from the Negev so good," - said Haifa University professor and expedition leader Guy Bar-Oz.

Archaeologists knew about "wine from the Negev" or "wine from Gaza" - as it was called by the port from which the drink was transported to all corners of the empire - from written sources of the Byzantine period. It was believed that this wine was of the highest quality and was very expensive, but, unfortunately, not a drop of it has survived to this day, so we do not know what is the reason for its exceptional taste. Earlier, during excavations in the Negev, archaeologists discovered terraces on which grapes were grown, wineries in which wine was made, and vessels in which it was stored and exported, but grape seeds could not be found before.

Halutza, in its heyday, was the most important city in the Byzantine Negev. The stone houses of Halutsa, as elsewhere in the Negev, did not survive to this day: the buildings were dismantled into stone for many centuries. But, as often happens, the rarest finds were waiting for archaeologists in a landfill. According to the professor, the city dumps have remained virtually intact and now mark the boundaries of the ancient city. Landfills are so prominent in the area that they can be seen on satellite images, for example, using Google Earth. Pottery and coins found in the rubbish deposits show that they accumulated mainly in the sixth and seventh centuries AD, when the city was at the peak of its economic growth. Since the decline of Halutza in the middle of the seventh century, which occurred for reasons not yet entirely clear, organized waste collection ceased, perhaps the city itself was abandoned around the same time.

In the rubbish layers, the researchers found a particularly large number of fragments of ceramic vessels that were used for storage, cooking and table setting. Among them were also vessels from Gaza, in which they kept ancient wine from the Negev. Archaeologists have also found a large number of remains of biological origin: the bones of fish from the Red Sea, the remains of mollusks and crustaceans from the Mediterranean Sea.

Hundreds of tiny charred grape seeds stood out among the finds. This is the first direct evidence that grapes were grown in the Western Negev in antiquity. Finding the pits was not easy: researchers used soil sifting and flotation (washing) for the first time.

The next stage of the study will be DNA sequencing of the bones. This will determine the origin of the vines. Scientists do not yet know what grapes were grown in the Negev. Were the vines "imported" - French or Italian (European varieties are grown in the Negev today) - or were they of local origin. European grape varieties require a lot of water, which creates difficulties in the local arid climate. Today, there are fewer problems with this, they are solved with the help of modern technologies. But it is unlikely that around 1500 years ago the ancient inhabitants of the Negev solved them so easily. Perhaps the secret of wine from the Negev lies precisely in the fact that some special grape variety was grown here, which could grow well in the arid conditions of the Negev.
