Focus Description:

You ask someone in the audience to choose a card and tear it into small pieces. Then you take the pieces from the viewer, but leave one corner for them to keep.

Focus Recreate a burned card

Addressing the audience, you solemnly say that you will restore the map from these pieces. To do this, you need to first burn them on a tray. You bring one of the card boxes described above and, showing that it is empty, lock it and place it on the table in full view of the audience. After loading the pistol with the ashes of the burnt card, you shoot at the box. If you don't have a gun handy, you carefully grind the ashes before pouring them into the box. And then you open the box - and everyone sees a completely whole map, except for the corner that was left in the hands of the viewer.

Focus Recreate a burned card

You take this piece in your right hand and hold the card with the other hand with the thumb and forefinger of your left hand. You pretend to throw a piece towards the map. It disappears from your hand - and at the same moment the card is completely restored. Sometimes magicians do not leave a torn off piece for the viewer and burn the entire card. The audience expresses surprise at the incompletely restored map, but you immediately pick up the missing corner from the floor where you yourself just dropped it, and then continue the trick as described earlier.

Focus secret:

It seems to us that you did not guess that a forced card is being drawn, and the alleged restored card was previously hidden under a false bottom card box. This restored map is a rather original fixture.

With a small piece of tin you give the shape and thickness of the card; in addition, an oblong plate 2 cm long and slightly less wide was cut off at one of its corners. This plate is attached on one side by an elastic hinge A to a wide tin plate so that it can be bent back and pressed flat against it. Under the action of the spring, it is repelled again and takes its original position.

To this tin plate is soldered along a narrow strip of such length as to reach the opposite end of the wide tin plate. This strip is a kind of handle that can be used to bend back a narrow tin plate with the help of its hinge. And on the other hand, it does not allow the spring to push the narrow plate beyond the wide one.

The playing card is neatly split into two to reduce its thickness. The front side is glued to the front side of a wide tin plate. First, you tear off a piece slightly smaller than the movable plate from one of the corners and put it on this narrow movable plate in such a way as to maintain its position relative to the entire map. The card appears intact when the plate is not turned back.

If you bend the plate back and hold it by pressing the strip with your index finger, then the torn part of the card also folds back along with it. When the mechanical card is in the box, the narrow plate should be bent back and fixed in this position with a small piece of thin wire. This wire should be attached to the end of the strip and the adjacent edge of the tin plate. Due to this, it will really hold the movable narrow plate. It can be easily removed by moving the index finger.

This card must be placed in the box so that it faces up. This is necessary in order to hide its back side from the audience.

In order to completely restore the card, you just need to take your index finger away, which will free the movable plate. Such a card can only be made from cardboard. So she, of course, will look more natural.

You take a piece of the map with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand and, moving towards the mechanical map, you seem to throw it, but in fact you hide it with the tip of your thumb between the first and second knuckles of the index and middle fingers. This frees up the thumb, and since the inside of your hand is hidden from viewers, they are less likely to notice the hidden piece. Moreover, you will divert their attention to his appearance on the restored map.

This trick can be done without using a mechanical box. In this case, you take an ordinary card, let's say a jack of spades. You tear off one corner from her and save it. You put this torn card in a card box or some other similar apparatus.

Then, holding the deck in your hands, you force the jack of spades. At this time, the corner of the card is hidden between the ring and middle fingers of the right hand. When the spectator takes the card, you ask him to tear it up and place the pieces on the tray. After receiving the pieces, you casually say: "I advise you to keep one piece for yourself to identify the card." With these words, you give the viewer a hidden corner under the guise of a piece of a freshly torn card. But first you must drop it on a tray with the rest of the map pieces.

Next, you continue as above until the card is restored, except for its corner. In this case, the card is handed to the chooser and its authenticity is proved by the fact that the torn edge fully corresponds to the gap.

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 ... >>

Offshore hydrogen production 05.06.2022

Germany plans to invest in research into the possibility of producing hydrogen on the high seas.

It is planned to invest 2 billion euros in the research of hydrogen technologies in the production of electricity at offshore wind farms over four years.

To implement its plan, Germany is going to strengthen cooperation with Australia.

"The idea is that in just a few years ships would be transporting green hydrogen from solar and wind energy from Australia to Germany," said German Education and Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger.

According to the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of this country, the total amount of government investment in the development of the hydrogen industry over the past three years has exceeded 1,5 billion Australian dollars ($1,1 billion).
