Focus Description:

The performer takes one card from the deck, tears off a corner from it and gives it to one of the spectators for storage. The performer tears the rest of the card into small pieces and, putting them in an envelope, burns them. Then the performer takes a cigarette case out of his pocket, takes a cigarette out of it and lights it up. Having smoked a cigarette, he throws out the ashes, leaving one cigarette holder.

Having rolled it between his fingers, the performer removes a paper tube from it. He unfolds it and shows it to the audience. This is the same card with the corner torn off. The performer approaches the viewer, who has kept the torn off corner, and asks to attach it to this card. The angle absolutely exactly coincides with the line of separation.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you need a deck of cards, in which there are any two identical cards, as well as a postal envelope and a cigarette with a secret.

To prepare the number, you need to remove two identical cards from the deck. Suppose they are aces of diamonds. A corner is torn off from one ace, after which it is folded into a narrow tube and inserted into the mouthpiece of a cigarette, which is placed in advance in a cigarette case among others. To make it easier to detect a secret cigarette, it must be of a different grade than all the others in the cigarette case, and differ from them in length. The cigarette case is placed in the performer's pocket in advance.

Now let's return to the second, whole ace and to the corner torn off from the secret ace. This corner is slightly glued to the corner of the whole ace on the reverse side. In this form, it is invested in a common deck, previously placed on an illusion table next to the envelope and matches.

The performer takes a deck from the table and removes an ace from it with a secret corner glued. Having truly torn off a corner from it in the place where the secret one is pasted, the performer goes into the auditorium and gives one of the spectators the secret corner of the card. And the real one vomits along with the card, then returns to the stage. Taking an envelope from the table, he puts pieces of the map in it and, in front of the audience, burns everything to the ground (Fig. 88).

Then the performer takes a cigarette case out of his pocket, takes a secret cigarette with "charging" and lights up. Having made several puffs, he tears off the sleeve with ashes and the rest of the tobacco, and leaves the mouthpiece in his hands. Having taken the last puff, the performer does not release smoke from his mouth until he separates the sleeve with tobacco from the mouthpiece of the cigarette.

Then he releases smoke directly into his hands, pulling out at this moment a secret card rolled up with a tube from the mouthpiece. Approaching the viewer, who keeps a corner of this card, the performer unfolds it and gives it to him. The spectator applies the corner to the card, carefully examining the break line with great attention, and finally makes sure that the corner fits this card.

Otherwise it can not be. After all, it really is from this card.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Global warming helps archaeologists 19.03.2009

Alpine glaciers are retreating, exposing more and more remnants of the distant past.

In August 2008, Swiss archaeologists carried out excavations at an altitude of 2756 meters above sea level. The finds are 4500-year-old items, a piece of a wooden bowl and the remains of a leather shoe.

Since 2003, when summer temperatures in Switzerland set a record, more than 300 items of hunting equipment, tools and fragments of clothing have been found in this region of the Alps. Isotopic dating of the bow, arrows and birch bark quiver showed that these weapons were lost in the Alps about 4000 years ago.

Other finds include Roman coins dating back to around 200 AD and some medieval pieces.
