Focus Description:

At the request of the performer, one of the spectators enters the stage as an assistant. If a complete stranger participates in the demonstration of the trick, the audience naturally gains more confidence in the performer, and the effect of the trick is enhanced.

So, having invited an assistant from among the audience to the stage, the artist asks him to tightly tie the thumbs of both his hands with a bow (Fig. 39, A).

Focus All-Penetrating Rings
Fig. 39

Linking fingers is a simple matter. When the performer's fingers are securely tied with a strong and durable rope, he asks his assistant to take metal rings from the illusion table. Then, moving to the other end of the stage, the magician asks to throw one ring at a time into his hands. The ring thrown by the assistant passes through the bound fingers of the performer in an instant and is put on like a bracelet on the right hand (Fig. 39, B). One by one, the assistant throws all five rings, and they, having overcome the obstacle in the form of closely connected fingers, are strung on the hand of the performer. And the thumbs of both hands of the magician are still tightly bound. At his request, the bewildered assistant with difficulty unties the rope and frees the performer's fingers.

Focus secret:

All props of the trick are five rings with a diameter of 20-25 cm and a small piece of rope. The secret is in the unusual position of the fingers at the time of their binding. Look closely at fig. 39, D. You see that the performer, having folded his hands before letting his thumbs be tied, leaves the middle finger of his right hand inside between the palms in a bent position. Having done this, the artist can safely let the thumbs of both hands be tied: the position of the bound fingers can easily be changed and one of them released to allow the ring to pass. This is done in the following way. When the performer convinces the assistant and the audience that his fingers are tightly bound, he can go to the opposite corner of the stage (the artist should stand on his right side towards the auditorium). While the magician will give instructions to the assistant how to throw the rings, he must prepare his hands to receive the rings.

To free your hands, you need to stretch up the fingers of both hands, which are facing each other with their palms (Fig. 39, E).

At the request of the performer, the assistant throws the ring. Almost simultaneously with this movement of the assistant, the performer turns the thumbs so that they are one above the other (right over left). The loop that binds the fingers becomes free, and this allows the artist to quickly release the right finger, skip the ring and put it on the right hand (Fig. 39, E). As soon as the ring passes through the "tied" fingers, the artist must quickly put the finger back into the loop. This movement must be done as many times as the assistant throws rings.

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. ... >>

Powerbank SuperCam with video surveillance function 11.08.2022

The Kickstarter crowdfunding platform began raising funds for the production of the SuperCam portable battery.

In addition to a decent capacity of 22 mAh, it is notable for a built-in video camera, motion sensor, remote control and other useful features.

Startup Harbor Dynamics positions the device as a power bank that can not only charge portable electronics, but also conduct a video surveillance function. The gadget can be placed on a shelf, table or window sill so that it discreetly starts recording video with sound in FullHD resolution when the motion sensor is triggered.

The viewing angle of the device's camera is 135°, support for night shooting is also announced. The novelty is equipped with a built-in storage of 64 GB and a slot for microSD cards. A full charge of the battery is enough for 60 hours of continuous recording. The camera can be controlled via Wi-Fi using a mobile application.

SuperCam can charge 4 devices at the same time - it has two Type-C connectors (output power 100 and 65W), one USB Type-A 22,5W (Quick Charge 3.0), as well as a 10W telecoil. At the fundraising stage, the device is selling for $99, and by the delivery date (tentatively October 2022), the SuperCam will cost $138.
