Focus Description:

The attention of the audience is focused on the performer's hand laid aside, in which he holds the ace of spades. A moment - and the ace disappears from the right hand, and appears in the left hand of the performer, set aside. But not for long. The performer stands on the stage with his hands spread apart in different directions, and the ace appears and disappears alternately in his left, then in his right hand.

Moreover, when the ace disappears in one hand, the performer moves his shoulders and immediately catches a card in the air with his other hand, which appeared as if from behind his back. He does this several times, and the card, obeying the movements of his shoulders, travels invisibly from one hand to the other (Fig. 83, A). Then he catches his "traveler" and puts it in his pocket, ending the trick.

Focus secret:

The performer takes out of his pocket two aces, folded together. Turning sideways to the audience, he passes one ace, say, to his right hand, and at the same time hides the other behind his left palm (from the back), holding this card by the edges between his little finger and forefinger. The performer shows the card in his right hand to the audience. Then he makes a slight downward movement and hides this ace in the same way as the first one in his left hand. Both hands of the performer at this time are extended in different directions, with open palms. On their back sides, held by the little fingers and forefingers, both aces rest invisibly to the spectators.

Moving his shoulders, the performer makes a slight tilt to the right and at this time, as if catching in the air, shows the audience the ace in his right hand. Then, hiding it behind the palm, he again makes a movement with his shoulders, a slight tilt to the left and already shows the ace in his left hand (Fig. 83, B). This is repeated several times in a row. It is only necessary to assimilate and work out the element of manipulation on which the disappearance and appearance of a card in the hand is built.

First movement: the card in a horizontal position is held by the edges between the pads of the index finger and little finger from the side of the palm of the hand. The ring and middle fingers are extended along the back of the card. This is the position of the hand when the card is shown to the audience (Fig. 83, B).

The second movement: the middle and ring fingers are bent behind the card, then the little finger and forefinger holding the card are slightly bent. At this time, the thumb comes to the rescue, supporting the card from the edge adjacent to it. Then the thumb goes to the side, releasing the edge of the card (Fig. 83, D).

Third movement: the middle and ring fingers straighten, turn the back of the card and cover it with themselves. And the little finger and forefinger, still performing their functions, firmly hold the card, which is already lying along the back of the hand (Fig. 83, E).

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 ... >>

Wireless pen 17.06.2000

The Swedish companies Ericsson and Anoto have developed a special fountain pen that writes with ordinary ink on special paper. These recordings are then digitized and transmitted using mobile communications or the Internet.

Inside the handle is a miniature video camera and a radio transmitter. The movement of the pen on the paper and its position relative to the dots on the paper are stored in the memory of the pen and then sent to the mobile phone via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Mass production of new items is scheduled for mid-2001.
