Focus Description:

How to move the four kings from the bottom of the stacks of cards up to the stack specified by the audience.

Focus secret:

Choose from the deck four aces or some other four cards of the same height and throw them face up on the table. While the spectators are looking at the cards, you roll to lay both halves of the deck face to face.

After showing the audience that the chosen four cards are the most common, take them and place them face down again on top of the deck that you hold in your left hand. At the same time, you say: "I want to show you a trick with four aces. To do this, I will put them on the table and cover them with any three cards." Simultaneously with these words, you prepare the thumb of your left hand to turn over the cards. You do this by removing the top card with your right hand and turning the deck over. Your manipulations will be invisible to the audience due to the movement of the hands when removing the top card. Since the top card is indeed an ace, you can randomly show it when you put it on the table.

You place this card face down, and then lay out in one line three cards from the end that you just transferred to the top. The audience will consider them aces. Next, put three more cards on each of these last three cards, taking them from the same end of the deck.

When you get to the first card (the real ace), you must, before placing three cards on it, turn the deck over in order to transfer the aces to the top.

Thus, you have four piles of cards on the table, four in each: one pile will consist only of aces, and the other three - of any cards, but for the audience, aces are distributed in piles.

Then you ask someone in the audience to touch two of the four piles. The stacks that the spectator touches may or may not contain aces. In any case, remove and set aside those two piles that do not contain aces, saying: "We will put them aside." Moreover, your words can be attributed both to those piles that the viewer chose, and to the other two. Then again ask the spectator to touch one of the remaining piles and in the same way set aside the one that does not contain aces.

After placing these set aside three stacks on the table, ask someone in the audience to put their hand on them and hold them tightly. After that, you take the remaining stack in your hands and say: "You have three aces, and I have only one. But I order your aces to leave your hand and go to me. Now I will touch your hand." You touch the cards in your hand and continue: "Be kind enough to look at your cards, and you will see that you do not have a single ace left. Let me remind you that it was not me, but those present who chose which of the four piles I I should have kept it."

This trick can be done in another way. In this case, putting four aces on top of the deck, you pass the little finger of your left hand under the top three aces and make a volt to bring them down, leaving your finger between them and the rest of the deck. You deal the top four cards (assuming four aces) as before, and three cards for each of the three cards except the ace.

Then you ask someone to pick any three cards, but try not to give away the last three cards. You put the swear cards on top of the deck.

Once this is done, you volt again and carry the three aces up. Then you say, removing the top three cards (without showing them): "I take these three cards, drawn earlier from the middle of the deck, and put them here on this last ace." Continue the focus as described.

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 ... >>

biodegradable lettuce containers 04.10.2019

Feltwood, a Spanish company that converts crop residues into biodegradable industrial materials, has developed lettuce containers.

According to the company's founder and CEO, Arancia Yáñez, parts of lettuce or artichoke lettuce that are not fit for food, as well as other types of plant waste, go through an industrial process to produce new materials.

The food and agricultural system produces a large amount of plant waste, which is costly to process and requires management efforts. However, this waste can also lead to new opportunities.

The company's technology is based on two differentiated processes: first, plant waste is collected and converted into Feltwood raw materials. It is then molded to produce products that are 100% biodegradable, recyclable and even compostable.

Feltwood has three materials with different characteristics for four specific markets. All materials of the developed products are fully biodegradable, recyclable and compostable: Feltwood Insulation, targeted in particular at the construction sector, cold stores and modular roofs; Feltwood Anti-Impact, with ideal properties for protective packaging; Feltwood Pack, for the light packaging industry (small containers, trays) and Feltwood Hard, an ideal material for making furniture.
