Directory / Spectacular tricks and their clues

Focus Description:

The focus is based on a pre-prepared deck. The magician announces whether an even number of cards have been drawn or not.

Focus secret:

You should notice if the bottom card is red or black. We put the deck on the table and ask the spectator to remove the cards, while you claim that by the weight of the removed cards you will determine whether their number is even or not. Take the withdrawn cards. Before that, they made up the upper part of the deck and, putting them on your hand, as if for weighing, you imperceptibly notice the bottom card. If it is the same color as the bottom card of the entire deck, then an even number of cards has been removed, if not, then an odd number.

Naturally, in the deck in advance, cards should lie through one - red, black, red, black, etc.

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 ... >>

MWC 2015: HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset 03.03.2015

HTC has announced the Vive, a virtual reality headset developed in collaboration with Valve. The device will go on sale later this year and the Vive Developer Edition will be available in the spring.

The Taiwanese company has promised to attend the Game Developers Conference next week, where developers will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Valve's virtual reality technology.

The Vive Developer Edition headset uses dual 1200 x 1080-pixel displays with a 90fps refresh rate, which HTC claims "eliminates judder" and "achieves photorealistic imaging."

HTC's press release states that it is the world's first device to provide a complete room-scale virtual experience, "allowing you to climb, walk and explore your virtual space, explore objects from any angle, and truly interact with your surroundings."

Head movements are tracked with a tenth of a degree accuracy using a gyroscope, accelerometer and laser positioning sensor. The device will come with a Steam VR base station for tracking movements in the virtual space. It looks like the base stations will create a 3D model of the virtual room. A pair of base stations will track the user's physical location in space over an area of 15 by 15 feet (about 20,9 m2). Previous versions of Valve's glasses used cameras to track the user's location using QR code tags placed on the walls of the room.

HTC chief marketing officer Jeff Gattis said that the Vive headset is light in weight, so it can be used for a long time without any consequences. The Vive Developer Edition headset is equipped with an audio jack, but the commercial version of the device will most likely have an integrated audio solution instead.
