Focus Description:

The performer shows the audience a regular paper label and hands it over to the viewer for verification. The second viewer is invited to check the lace. The label and lace are common in every way. The magician threads the string through the small standard hole on the tag. Then he hands each of the volunteers one of the ends of the lace, causing the lace to stretch and a label hanging from it. The magician covers the label and string with a handkerchief. Putting his hands under the handkerchief, he magically removes the tag from the lace, without damaging either the lace or the tag! The spectators stand, holding a string stretched between them, not understanding how what they just witnessed could happen.

Focus secret:

For this trick, you need to make some small labels out of cardboard (it's best to use cardboard from old folders). The labels should measure approximately 7,5x4 cm. Give the cartons the look of labels by cutting the top corners at a 45° angle and poke a small hole in the top. The result is a piece of cardboard that resembles a standard luggage tag in all but one way. On standard tags, the material around the opening is reinforced to prevent the tag from pulling away from the lanyard that ties it to luggage. It is this difference that makes the focus possible. You will also need a string about half a meter long, which you will place on the table next to one of the labels you have made. Put a handkerchief in your left pocket, and a label, an exact copy of the one lying on the table, in the right sleeve of your jacket. The audience should not notice that you have something up your sleeve.

1. When starting the trick, ask the audience for help by inviting two volunteers to the stage. Pass the label to one spectator for verification, and the lace to another. When they check them and make sure that there is no catch in the props, thread the string through the hole in the label.

2. Ask one spectator to take one end of the lace in his hand, and the second spectator to take the other end of the lace. They stretch the string, in the middle of which hangs a label.

3. Remove a handkerchief from your pocket, show that there is nothing in it, and cover the label and the middle of the lace with it. Make sure you unfold the handkerchief enough so that it completely hides the hands wound under it. After that, put both hands under the handkerchief and grab the label near the hole with them.

4. Carefully tear the label up to the hole. Then remove it from the lace.

5. It is advisable to lift the handkerchief slightly above the cord with your hands, because in this case the audience will not catch the movement that you make under the handkerchief.

6. With the fingers of your right hand, secretly insert the torn label into the left sleeve of the jacket.

7. Then change the position of your hands so that with your left hand you can pull the whole label out of your right sleeve.

8. Remove both hands from under the handkerchief, holding the whole label in one of them. Invite viewers to look under the handkerchief and make sure you have actually removed the tag from the lace. Then offer to check both the tag, the string, and the handkerchief.

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 ... >>
