Focus Description:

Taking an ordinary penknife out of his pocket, the performer shows it to the audience and passes it to them for inspection when folded. After making sure that the knife is really the most ordinary one, that its handle is white on both sides and there are no secrets in it, the audience calmly returns it.

The performer puts the knife on the open palm of his left hand. Then, showing that he has nothing in his right palm, he runs it over his left palm with a knife, as if stroking and covering it for a moment, and then immediately removes his right palm from his left. The left palm is still open, and the knife lies on it, but its handle is no longer white, as before, but red. The performer again runs an empty right palm over his left, and the knife again becomes white. With the repetition of these stroking movements, the handle of the knife changes color each time, becoming either white or red.

The performer again gives the audience this knife for inspection. They examine it even more closely, revealing the blade. The knife is the same, no secrets.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you need two identical knives, but one has a white handle on both sides, the second has white on one side and red on the other. Both knives are placed in a jacket pocket in advance. The first, the handle of which is white on both sides, goes into the main pocket. In the same pocket there should also be a secret pocket. This is where the second knife is placed. But the main focus is to be able to deftly change knives. Success depends on this.

The performer takes out the first knife from his pocket, with a white handle. He shows it and passes it on to the audience for inspection, thereby focusing their attention on this knife, and at this time, having seized the moment, he takes the second knife from a secret pocket and holds it in his left hand. When the audience has finished examining the first knife, the performer collects it and returns to the stage. At this time, he imperceptibly and quickly lowers the first knife into his pocket, and holds his left hand with the second knife clenched in his fist high above his head, fixing the attention of the audience on this.

On stage, the magician opens his left palm, puts a knife on it with the white side of the handle up and shows it to the audience. Then, in a sliding motion, he runs his open right palm along the surface of the knife, while turning it with the red side up. The demonstration then proceeds as described at the beginning. Having finished the trick, the performer must also quietly get the first knife out of his pocket and go to the audience with it, and in the meantime hide the second one in his pocket.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
