Focus Description:

A handkerchief pierced with a pencil remains intact.

Focus secret:

Ask someone in the audience for a handkerchief. Pressing your elbow to your body, move your left hand slightly to the side and clench into a fist. Make sure that the attention of the audience is drawn to this hand.

Focus Enchanted Handkerchief

Throw the handkerchief over your fist. Now that he is hidden from the audience, open your fist. After that, cover the fist of your left hand with your right palm, and make a vertical “fold” in the handkerchief with your thumb.

Putting the thumb of the right hand into this fold, bring both hands closer to the middle of the chest so that both thumbs are hidden from the audience by a handkerchief.

Then make a few up and down movements with your right thumb, as if trying to push a part of the handkerchief into a clenched fist (in fact, you just lengthened the vertical fold, open on the side, but not visible to the audience).

Take a pencil and pretend that you are going to pierce the handkerchief, clenched in your fist, through and through. Poke the handkerchief several times (you will only touch it with a pencil sliding along the fold) as if you were meeting resistance from the fabric. During the "last try," slide the pencil halfway into your fist, and then sharply hit it from above, indicating that this time you probably managed to pierce the handkerchief. Quickly move your right hand under the handkerchief and pull out the pencil from below.

To show the audience the handkerchief is completely intact, open your left fist under it and quickly turn your hand over with your open palm up. As a result of this movement, your invisible crease will smooth out by itself.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Super glue that can withstand record temperatures 24.07.2022

Chemists at Tsinghua University in Beijing have developed a promising mixture for combining different items at extreme temperatures. The new adhesive withstands from -196 to 200 degrees Celsius and can be reused.

The new adhesive will be useful in heavy industry and aerospace applications such as rockets that face temperature fluctuations. The new substance belongs to the class of supramolecular adhesives.

The parts of the mix are specially designed to self-assemble into strong bonds during the curing process. The authors reported that one of the components is a ring-shaped molecule known as a crown ether, while the other is a small protein produced by bacteria.

When the described components come into contact and the mixture is heated, the crown ether rotates the protein and securely fastens any surface. In a series of tests, the scientists glued two steel plates together and found that they could withstand up to 22 megapascals. At the same time, the glue worked not only at room temperature, but also in any range of -196 to 200 °C. It also showed high strength characteristics when working with other materials and did not disintegrate even under water.

The team attributed the success to strong supramolecular interactions—a strong bond displaces water from a protein. This means that when the temperature drops, ice crystals cannot form and break the material, as often happens with other adhesives. An added bonus of the new technology is its reusability. The blocking adhesive components can be dismantled and recycled, after which the updated mixture can hold new materials together with the same strength.

The new supramolecular adhesive will be especially useful in scenarios where rigid objects face extreme temperature fluctuations. With it, it will be easier to service industrial enterprises using metals, as well as repair spacecraft and rockets in earth or lunar orbit.
