Focus Description:

How to make the two cards chosen by the spectator appear at the top and bottom of the deck.

Focus secret:

You shuffle the deck in front of the audience and ask someone to pick two cards. Opening the deck in the middle, you ask to put the cards in the deck. When making a volt, carry them up and make one of the false shuffles without changing the position of the two top cards. Again, invite any spectator to choose cards. But before you let the spectator put the cards in the deck, you make a volt so that the second pair of cards falls on the first pair. After that, using the volt, transfer already four cards to the top and make a fake shuffle. Do the same with the third and fourth spectators.

It seems to everyone that the cards are dispersed in the deck, and this needs to be emphasized. If you are good at hiding the cards in your palm, you can hide the top nine cards and give the deck to someone in the audience to shuffle.

Then you say: "Everyone saw that the cards were put in different places in the deck and it was shuffled. I myself do not know what these cards are, but I will still make them rise in pairs at the top and bottom of the deck as they were chosen."

By showing the audience the last card, you are asking who picked that card. The audience is silent, because no one really chose her. Then you show the next card and repeat the question. By doing this, you slip your little finger under the next card and, returning the card to the deck, make a volt, which brings both of these cards to the top of the deck. Now you ask the person who chose these cards what they were. When he calls them, you "wiggle" the cards and show him first the bottom card and then the top card, both of which will be correct.

While you are revealing the top card, take the opportunity to slip the little finger of your left hand directly under the card below it. Putting the top card, make a volt on this place. Now the second pair is distributed in the same way.

You ask the spectator to name it, move the cards again and show the cards as before. With the third spectator you act as with the second.

For a change, you can pretend that you forgot about the fourth viewer. Therefore, by doing the volt, as before, you say that you will now perform another trick. Of course, the audience will remind you of the fourth pair of cards. Apologizing for your distraction, you ask the spectator to name his cards. When he does, you say that you have completely lost sight of these cards, but this does not mean anything, because you can quickly find them.

Taking the upper ends of the cards with the thumb and ring fingers of your right hand, slightly wet, you make the deck swing like a pendulum until all cards fall to the floor, except for those chosen by the spectator. You give them to the spectator who chose them, and he confirms the correctness of the cards.

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 ... >>

memory implants 23.09.2015

When the cyberpunk movement was in vogue in the 80s and early 90s, it seemed to everyone that various chips in the brains, implants and other electronics sewn directly into the body were a matter of the near future. As it turned out, people are still not too willing to introduce artificial objects into their bodies, and the topic of implants for some time left the front pages of scientific journals, but not for long, and recently DARPA announced the creation of new implants implanted in the brain to improve memory.

During a conference held in St. Louis, a DARPA spokesperson said that several dozen people who had already received artificial implants that delivered directed electrical discharges to specific areas of the brain showed significant improvements in memory tests.

The goal of the study, which is part of DARPA's Active Memory Recovery Program, is to allow scientists to read and interpret the brain activity involved in the formation and activation of memories, and to predict when a person begins to remember something incorrectly. In this case, electrodes can be used to provide directed electrical discharges to groups of cells responsible for memory storage, making it more accessible as a result.

Patients who agreed to wear implants were implanted during brain surgery that did not involve memory loss. Surgeons have inserted small electrodes into regions of the brain responsible for declarative memories—that is, those by which we remember events, times, places, or lists of objects—as well as regions involved in spatial memory and orientation.

According to preliminary results, the researchers were able not only to record and interpret memory-saving cues, but also to improve patients' ability to remember entire lists of objects.
