Five stacks of cards. Focus secret

Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

You sit down at the table with four spectators. You hand over five cards to everyone and invite each spectator to memorize one card from those in his hands. After that, you collect the cards, lay them out on the table in five piles and ask the audience to choose one of the piles themselves.

Then you take the cards indicated to you in your hands and open them like a fan, holding them facing the audience. After that, you ask your partners who sees their card. Having heard the answer, you immediately, without looking even once at the cards, pull it out.

This can be done with any of the stacks on the table. Sometimes there may not be a conceived card in the pile at all, or there may be several of them in one pile. In any case, the cards are guessed by you unmistakably.

Focus secret:

The thing here is that you start collecting fives of cards from the first spectator sitting to your left, and then clockwise, holding the cards face down. As a result, your cards will be the last and will be at the top of the pack.

Then you lay out all the cards from the pile again, five cards each. In any of the piles, the cards are in the order in which your assistants are sitting at the table. If spectator number two sees the intended card, then this card will be the second, counting from the top of the stack. If the fourth spectator sees his card, it will be the fourth in the pile. This rule holds true for any pile.

In this trick, it is important not to let the spectators notice that you are collecting cards in a certain order, so it is good to say something to the spectators during the collection of cards or even make them look the other way, for example, say: "Please note that I will not touch the remaining part of the deck that lies on the table."

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 ... >>

Children as a remedy for hypertension 16.10.2010

Children often get on their parents' nerves, but protect their blood vessels. This conclusion was reached by American physiologists who supplied 200 men and women aged 20 to 68 with a blood pressure monitor.

The pressure was recorded day and night. It turned out that it was noticeably higher in the childless participants of the experiment. The difference is especially great in women: in mothers, systolic (upper) pressure is on average 12 millimeters, and diastolic (lower) pressure is 7 millimeters lower than in childless ones.

The authors of the study believe that children give their parents a sense of "necessity", which serves as a buffer against many of life's troubles and stresses.
