Focus Description:

There are three ropes on the magician's table. He throws one over his shoulder, and ties the other two with a double knot and wraps it around his arm. Then he touches the tied rope with a "magic" wand. After putting the stick on the table, the performer unwinds and shows the rope to the audience. It turns out to be intact, and the knot that connected the two segments has disappeared without a trace.

The performer rewinds this rope around his hand, and over it the one that hung on his shoulder. He again touches the "magic" wand to the rope wound around his hand, and then unwinds it and shows it to the audience. And again, two pieces of rope joined into one, and the place of their connection is completely imperceptible.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you need three pieces of a round clothesline. The first one is 150 cm long, the second one is 75 cm and the third one is 20 cm. Fold the long section in half, pass the third, short section through the fold and put them on the table. Place a piece 75 cm long next to it.

Now there are three pieces of rope on the magician's table (Fig. 33). Moreover, the audience should not see the loop connecting the longest and shortest segments.

Focus Three lengths of rope
Fig. 33

To demonstrate the trick, you will need one more small detail - an ordinary dress button (preferably light, because the rope is white). The button consists of two parts: the bottom and caps. The bottom should be sewn to the tip of the first segment, and the cap to the tip of the second. When sewing on parts of the button, you must try so that the ends of the rope are not shaggy.

Having prepared the "magic" wand, you can begin to demonstrate the focus. The performer takes three pieces of rope from the table with his left hand so as to hide the junction of the pieces in his fist. He pulls the same piece of rope (75 cm long) from his fist at the lower end three times - the audience is convinced that there are really three pieces. Pulling the rope out of his fist for the last time, the magician throws it over his shoulder so that the end with the button is behind him. Then he invites one of the spectators and offers to tie the ends of a secret piece of rope in a knot.

Having shown the tied rope to the audience, the performer wraps it around his hand and at the same time removes the knotted segment with his right hand. Then he goes to the table for the "magic" wand, takes it, and leaves the knotted rope on the table. After that, the performer can safely continue demonstrating the focus.

To connect this rope to the one that is thrown over the shoulder, the performer begins to wrap the first piece of rope around the arm from the end where there is no button, and the second segment from the end where the button is sewn. Having fastened the button, he connects the ends of the segments and continues to wind the second segment of the rope after the first.

Touching the rope with a "magic" wand, the performer unwinds it and shows it to the audience.

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. ... >>

Quiet New Fujitsu Celsius Workstations 07.10.2014

Fujitsu Corporation has introduced new high-performance, low-noise workstations to complement its wide range of systems manufactured in Germany. The new Celsius R940 and Celsius M740 are built with cutting-edge components including Xeon processors, DDR4 memory, and the latest AMD and Nvidia graphics.

According to the company, Fujitsu's proprietary 512GB PCIe SSDs built into workstations deliver twice the performance of today's third-party SSDs. Even at full load, the noise output is between 18 and 23 dB(A) - much quieter than the ambient noise of an open-plan office space.

The new Fujitsu workstations are optimally suited for computing-intensive tasks such as modeling large and complex datasets, as well as real-time visualization of 940D models, ensuring the required level of performance and data integrity. For example, the Celsius RXNUMX is a scalable dual-processor system that delivers the performance you need to run the most demanding, memory-intensive, multi-threaded applications, especially simulation, visualization, and rendering programs.

In turn, the Celsius M740 single processor solution, which meets the standards of the European Medical Center, is suitable for the healthcare industry. The system allows for easy expansion with tool-less cold-access chassis maintenance and quick-swap of up to eight hard drives.

Like almost all workstations from the Fujitsu Celsius line, the two new models can be operated around the clock and support high-performance graphics adapters and compute cards, as well as virtualization. Both systems support Windows Server 2012 and rack-mount capability for data center use, including secure PCoIP access. Fujitsu is offering additional accessories for its new workstations, including Fujitsu's P-line monitors with screen sizes up to 27 inches, as well as dedicated 3D SpaceMouse ergonomic mice.

The entire portfolio of Fujitsu Celsius mobile, desktop and rack workstations and accessories can be ordered directly from Fujitsu or purchased through a network of authorized resellers. Prices vary by region, model, and configuration.
