Focus Description:

Like putting a row of cards on the table face down, say, turning one of them over, how many cards were transferred in your absence from one end of the row to the other.

Focus secret:

You deal a row of fifteen cards from the top of the deck, which are placed face down on the table. It seems to the audience that you take the first cards that come across, but in fact the first 10 cards are stacked according to the system: one ten, then a nine, then an eight, etc. up to and including the ace. Suits don't matter. The eleventh card must be a completely blank card (this is a spare card that is available in any deck). If there is no such card in your deck, then a jack can take its place. This card in our further description will correspond to zero.

When 15 cards are laid out, they will lie in the following order:

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, *, *, *, *

Asterisks mean any cards. The fact that the cards are laid out in accordance with the system, the audience will not notice. You say that you will now leave the room, and the spectators, during your absence, can take a known number of cards (no more than 10) from the right end of the row and transfer them in the same order to the other end.

When you return, it is enough for you to turn over the eleventh card, counting from the left end. She will tell you how many cards you have dealt.

Let's give some examples. Let 2 cards be shifted from right to left. Then the original row will take the following form:

*, *, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, *, *

The eleventh card from the left - a deuce indicates the number of cards transferred.

Let seven cards be transferred. Then the row will look like this:

2, 1, 0, *, *, *, *, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3

As you can see, seven is in eleventh place.

If no cards are transferred, then the eleventh card will be zero, as before. When repeating the trick, you must put the cards back in the original order. Try not to let the audience notice that you are counting cards.

If desired, you can use up to 20 cards by entering any other cards on the right side of the original row.

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 ... >>

Smart Nanosuit 04.11.2017

Employees of CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) presented a "smart" nanosuit. With this device, doctors will be able to monitor the patient even when he is far from the hospital.

The project is being led by the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems. The scientists plan to create a nanosuit that can record body temperature and human pressure. Relevant information can be transmitted to stationary and mobile devices.

The Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems is also working on the creation of nanotattoos, which will be patches designed to be injected into the body. Chinese specialists plan to present the corresponding development in the next 2-3 years.
