Focus Description:

The performer takes two laces from the table and, pulling them parallel, shows the audience that they are completely intact and strong. Then he invites two spectators to the stage as assistants. Putting them against each other, he hands each of the two ends of these laces. Then the performer takes five multi-colored rings from the illusion table, gives them to one of the assistants and asks to string them on two stretched laces (Fig. 52, A). So all five rings are in the center of the double cord. Pulling the rings on the cord slightly down, the performer wraps his fingers around the doubled cord two centimeters above them and asks to tie the cord in this place with a strong thread. Thus, the rings ended up in the ring of a double cord (Fig. 52, B).

Then the performer asks his assistants to give him one free end of any of the cords. Taking them, for reliability, he twists the cords once and again gives each one end at a time. Now the rings are completely impossible to remove. But the performer asks the audience which ring they would like to see removed from the cord. The audience calls red, and the performer instantly removes it. Then the audience alternately names the colors of the desired rings, and the performer immediately removes them without hindrance. Having removed all the rings one at a time, the performer asks the assistants to tighten the ends of the cords, which they have been holding without releasing all this time. From a strong tension, the thread that binds them bursts and releases the cords. Both cords are still intact and intact.

Focus secret:

For the trick, you will need two dark cords 50-60 cm long and five flat plastic multi-colored rings with a diameter of 5-6 cm.

Two cords are pre-tied with a double knot in the center with a thread of the same color. The ends of the thread must be cut off so that it is not visible at all.

The performer takes two cords lying on an illusion table next to five multi-colored rings. Holding the cords parallel together, he pulls them at the ends in different directions, showing the audience the strength of the cords. Then, inviting two assistants to the stage, he gives one in the hand the two ends of one cord, the other - the two ends of the second cord, folded in half. The middle of the cords are held together thanks to the thread that binds them (Fig. 52, C and D).

Now you can give the assistant rings, which he will string on these cords. The performer watches and remembers which ring first hits the false middle of the cords and ends up on the secret thread connection. Suppose he remembered that the first was the red ring. When all five rings are strung on cords and tightly pressed to each other in the middle, the performer clasps all four ends of the cords above the rings, connecting them at a height of about 2-3 cm. Then he gives a piece of thread and invites one of the assistants to tie the junction of the cords. Thus, the rings are in a double ring of cords (Fig. 52, E).

The performer asks the assistants to give him one of any end of any cord. The audience will not see anything special in this - after all, the performer asks to give any end at their discretion. But in order for the cords to be parallel to each other at the end of the trick, the performer twists the free ends of the cords once to divert the eyes and returns them to the assistants, having changed places accordingly. Now in the hands of each of them the ends of different cords.

The performer remembers that the red ring came first in the middle of the cords, and therefore knows that there is a fictitious unity of the loop of cords. Holding the loop with one hand along with the rings hanging on it, the performer asks which ring the audience would like to see removed first. While they name the colors of the rings, the performer breaks the fictitious thread connection of the cord loop with a red ring and holds the remaining rings at the ready in his left hand, while not letting go of the middle of both cords, now already disconnected, from this hand (Fig. 52, E). When the rings are removed one by one at the request of the audience, the performer asks the assistants to pull the ends of the cords. From the tension, the second thread on the cords is torn, which is why they straighten out and, as at the beginning, are located on one straight line parallel to each other.

Now the performer can safely release the middle of the cords from his hand, finish the trick and thank the assistants for their participation.

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. ... >>
