Focus Description:

The performer shows the audience three cards, folded into a small fan. He calls them one by one, and the audience sees that on the left is a six, in the center is a lady, and on the right is a deuce (Fig. 84, A). Turning the back of the fan, he repeats the order of the cards in the fan so that the audience remembers them. Then he takes the lady in the center and, placing her on the table, asks one of the spectators to close the card with his palm (Fig. 84, B). Now the performer has two cards left - a six and a deuce.

- I put the six in my pocket, - the performer says, - and the deuce remains in my hand. What card do you have on the table at hand?

- Lady, - the viewer answers.

Then the performer asks to open the card. The viewer opens it and shrugs his shoulders in surprise. Instead of a lady, he sees a six. Where did the lady go?

The performer shows the audience the card that remains in his hand - this, as it should be, is a deuce. And what then did the performer put in his pocket? After all, the audience saw that the lady was in the center of the fan. It was this card that he put on the table and asked the viewer to keep at hand. And when the performer takes the card out of his pocket, it turns out to be a lady.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you will need five cards: two queens, two sixes and one deuce.

Of these, one queen and one six make up one secret card. It is prepared as follows: a queen is placed on the six somewhat obliquely vertically - so that the three suit signs on the left side and the number "6" in the lower and upper left corners remain open. The rest of the six is covered by a lady. The left edge of the reverse side of the lady is glued vertically to the front side of the six with "adhesive tape". Then, turning the glued cards with the reverse side, cut off the excess part of the lady's card that goes beyond the frame of the six.

Thus, the secret card from the front side will look like a card consisting of two vertical halves of a six and a queen. The reverse side of the card looks the same (Fig. 84, B). Half of the lady's card on the six is movable and opens in the form of a booklet.

Now that we have a secret card, we can prepare the rest of the cards for the trick demonstration. The second lady is placed in the pocket beforehand. The second six is invested in a secret card between the half of the lady and the first six (Fig. 84, D). Three signs of the suit to the right of the nested six, which remain visible from under the lady, are closed by a deuce, also superimposed obliquely. Thus, in the hand of the performer is a small fan, consisting of three cards: six, queen and deuce. That's what the audience thinks. In fact, they see only half of the fictitious six, half of the fictitious lady, and only one real two (Fig. 84, E). She covers herself with a real six, who will act as a lady.

Having shown this fan to the audience and named all three cards in order in order, the performer turns it back. He then draws the middle card from the fan - the spectators assume it is a lady - and places it on the table. Having invited one of the spectators to the stage, the performer invites him to close this card with his palm. In fact, at the viewer's hand is not a lady, but a six.

And now two cards remained in the performer's hand: one is secret, the other is a deuce. The performer puts the secret card under the guise of a six in his pocket, and holds the deuce in his hand. Then he asks the audience how the three cards are placed. It is easy to remember and enumerate. The lady is on the table at the viewer's hand, he is sure of it, the deuce is in the performer's hand, and the six is in his pocket.

- Let's see, - the performer says and shows the deuce, which he has in his hand.

- The deuce is in place, but what do you have at hand? he asks the viewer standing at the illusion table.

- Weird question! Of course, lady, - the viewer answers.

Then the performer offers to open the card and show it to the audience. The viewer does just that - everyone sees the six. And, of course, bewildered. Where could the lady have gone? The performer takes out of his pocket, instead of a six, a lady hidden in advance.

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 ... >>

400-channel driver chip for electronic paper displays 05.02.2014

Electrophoretic or e-paper screens are well suited for applications where there is an external light source and low power consumption is desired. They do not need backlighting and can be made flexible.

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), a subsidiary of IXYS, has long been developing control ICs for such displays. Yesterday it introduced the IXEP1400 driver IC, which has 400 outputs operating at voltages in the +15 V range. The data coming through the shift register is used to control the pixels on the screen.

The IXEP1400 driver is designed for a maximum frequency of 50 MHz and is capable of bi-directional communication. Several IXEP1400 chips can be connected to a common data bus. The driver supports three-level transmission of gradations.

The IXEP1400 is a lower cost, lower power version of the industry's most widely used MXEI1480 driver. It can be used to work with segment and matrix displays. Among the areas of application of the novelty are wearable electronic devices, battery-powered mobile devices, additional displays of smartphones and tablets, e-books, electronic price tags, smart cards and information boards.
