Focus Description:

The performer takes three completely identical ropes from the table (Fig. 35). Shows the audience each separately. Then he ties the ends of one piece of rope with a strong double knot so that it forms a ring. Approaching the audience, the magician gives them the remaining two ropes and asks them to tie each one in the same way. The audience complies with his request.

Thus, three rope rings were obtained. The artist puts these rings on the outstretched palm of his left hand, placing them one next to the other. Then he returns to the stage and, after counting to three, throws all three rings into the air, where they are connected to each other, forming a rope chain. The performer catches her and goes to the audience. Descending into the auditorium, he again puts all three rings on the outstretched palm of his left hand. Approaching the audience, the magician removes one ring, then the second and third, and they are freely separated from each other, as if they had not just been connected into a single chain.

Focus Rope Chain
Fig. 35

The performer gives the two nearest spectators a rope ring and asks them to untie the knots. When the knots are untied, the rings again become straight rope segments. Hanging them on his hand, the performer returns to the stage.

Focus secret:

Necessary props: three identical pieces of clothesline 60 cm long each and a small silver button fastener. A piece 10 cm long is cut off from one of the ropes. A button is sewn on the ends of the larger and smaller sections of this rope. The cut ends with a button are connected and fastened end-to-end. Before the performance, all three segments, hanging down, lie side by side on an illusion table.

Starting to demonstrate the trick, the performer takes the first secret rope, and then the second and third. Having descended into the auditorium, he passes two segments to the audience, and keeps the secret one for himself. Taking both ends of the secret rope so that the connection point is hidden in the fist with the button, the performer pulls the rope in a horizontal position. He asks the spectators to do the same with the other two ropes.

Then, at the request of the performer, the audience ties the ends of the ropes with a double knot, forming rope rings. The performer also ties the ends of the secret rope and first puts this secret ring on the outstretched fingers of his left hand, so that the button on the ring fits the palm of his hand and is not visible. Then he takes the rope rings from the hands of the audience and hangs them next to the secret ring on his hand.

While the performer returns to the stage, he manages to unfasten the hidden button of the secret ring. Then he passes one free end through the other two rope rings and quickly fastens the button. Two rope rings are closed by the third ring (Fig. 35, D), forming a chain. By tossing it into the air, the performer knows that the secret ring is at the center of this chain.

Having fixed this amazing transformation, the magician again hangs all the rings on his hand. And again, on the way to the auditorium, he unfastens the button of the secret ring, freeing the other two. Then he closes the button and only after that he approaches the audience. The artist removes one rope ring from his hand, then another and gives them to the hands of the audience. While they examine them with curiosity and untie them, the performer takes care of his secret ring. He calmly unties the knot and, pulling the secret rope in different directions by the released ends, hangs it on his hand, then takes the other ropes from the audience and returns 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. ... >>

Noise spoils the taste of food 20.11.2015

Everyone knows that taste and smell are interconnected - an unpleasant smell can spoil the pleasure of even the most delicious food. But it's not just our sense of smell that influences our sense of taste - for example, it's known that dessert tastes better on a white plate than on a black one, and that if we eat in a noisy environment, food will taste less delicious than if we ate in silence. In other words, taste is associated not only with smell, but also with sight and hearing.

Psychologists from Cornell University decided to find out in more detail how exactly extraneous sounds affect our perception of food. In the experiment, volunteers were asked to rate the strength of five basic tastes—bitter, salty, sweet, sour, and umami—on a scale ranging from “taste barely perceptible” to “taste as strong as you can imagine.” Each of them was given in three different concentrations, and each time the test was carried out in two versions: in one case, the person had to try a certain concentration of sweet, salty, etc., as if he was sitting in an airplane, hearing a characteristic broad-spectrum noise with the greatest intensity around 290 Hz and loudness 8-85 dB; in the second case, he was surrounded by ordinary "room" sounds. The noise began 30 minutes before the tasting, so that the participants in the experiment had time to get used to it.

Extraneous sounds did not affect the sensations of salty, bitter and sour. It was different with sweet and umami: aircraft noise suppressed the taste of sweet in any of its concentrations, and stimulated umami - but only when there was so much of it. Obviously, because of this effect, many people do not like airplane food - it lacks sweetness. At the same time, the noise did not affect other sensations (tactile, visual, auditory) and did not affect attention; that is, it could not be said that the changes in taste sensations arose due to the fact that something happened to the person's ability to concentrate.

The physiological explanation for this may be this: the branches of the facial nerve coming from the taste buds pass through the ear, and signals from the eardrum may well affect the taste impulses. True, it is not clear why only two tastes "feel" the influence of noise, and not all five. The researchers note that sweet and umami receptors are particularly susceptible to mutations, so that some people, thanks to certain genetic modifications, apparently can enjoy sweets without paying attention to any noise.
