Focus Description:

How to turn kings into aces and aces into kings.

Focus secret:

Four cards are needed for the trick. They must be made so that they are aces on one side and kings on the other. To make them, you take four ordinary aces and four ordinary kings. Remove half the thickness of each of the cards. This is very easy to do by splitting one corner of the card with a penknife. After that, you can easily peel off the rest of the map.

When the cards become thinner, you need to glue aces with kings of the same suit with the back sides and put it under something heavy so that the copies dry.

You put these cards in different parts of the deck. They should look down with the side on which the aces are depicted. Common aces are placed face down on top of the deck.

Take a deck of cards face up and say, "I only want aces and kings." Take real kings and fake aces one by one. You put these cards on the table: kings - face up, and prepared cards - up with the side on which the aces are depicted.

You draw the attention of the audience to the laid out cards, and at this time you yourself make a volt, in order to fold both halves of the deck with their faces. In addition, thanks to the volt, four ordinary aces imperceptibly for the audience fall to the bottom of the deck. Four kings you need to put on the end that will be the top after the volt.

Ask someone for a hat. After placing the deck for a moment on the table and taking the false aces in one hand and the hat in the other, place the aces on the table and cover it all with the hat, turning them over at this time.

Then you take the deck in your hand and once again demonstrate the kings to the audience. Returning them to their place, you say: "Now I will order the four kings to go under the hat, and the aces will return to the deck. To do this, I just need to touch the bottom with a magic wand and say:" Move! "" Touching the cards with a wand, turn the deck over, as we have already described, so that there is a shirt on both sides of the deck. This movement of yours will cover the approach of the hands and a slight wave of the magic wand.

If you do not currently have a magic wand in your hands, then a semicircular movement of the hand in which you have the cards towards the hat will be quite enough.

After showing the public that the cards have changed places in accordance with your words, you can, by repeating what has been described, return them to their original position. It is better to stop the focus on this so that the audience does not have a desire to look at the cards.

After finishing the trick, make a volt to bring the deck to its original position, and remove the double-sided cards from it as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is to take the cards in your right hand, as if to turn them over and leave them on top of the deck. In fact, you hide them in the palm of your hand and then quickly slip them into your pocket or somewhere else.

Having done this, you can safely give the deck to the audience for viewing.

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 ... >>

Imaginary multitasking improves brain function 24.11.2018

Psychologists from the Universities of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Yale found out that sometimes it doesn’t matter for a person what exactly is meant by multitasking and how many tasks he performs at the same time. It is important to imagine that you are multitasking, and from this idea alone, the brain starts to work better. More than XNUMX people participated in the experiment, who had to watch and transcribe an educational video from the Animal Planet channel. The trick was that someone was told that they would have to perform two tasks at the same time: learn what the video is about and do a text transcription; others were told that they were doing only one task, the purpose of which was to test their learning and shorthand abilities.

The task, we repeat, for both of them was the same, only its perception differed: for some it was single-tasking, for others it was multi-tasking. However, those who believed they were doing two tasks wrote down more words, made fewer mistakes, and did better on the comprehension test of what they learned from the video.

Similar results were obtained in another experiment that was conducted on the Internet: two puzzles appeared on the screen in front of a person in the form of a set of words with which something had to be done. Only in one case did both puzzles appear as part of the same task, and both of them were shown against the same background; in another case, the puzzles were the same, but they were presented as two different tasks, and both of them were highlighted with a different background. Those who had two different tasks in front of their eyes believed that they were working in multitasking mode - and as a result, they completed the task better than "single-taskers".

Scientists that this is due to the fact that a person who thinks that he is currently multitasking, is more deeply immersed in what he is doing, and therefore performs his task better. To test whether this is the case, the researchers measured how much the pupils of the experiment participants dilate during the performance of tasks - it is believed that the wider the pupil, the greater the involvement, the more cognitive resources are spent on the task. Indeed, the "multi-taskers" had wider pupils, that is, they were indeed more deeply involved in the work, were more attentive, collected, etc.
