Focus Description:

Ask the audience or take four identical coins from your own pocket. After placing them on the table, ask someone from the audience to stack them in a column, stacking everything the same way - tails up.

Then ask the same or another spectator to flip the column thus made, without changing the relative positions of the coins, and announce that all the coins will now be heads up.

It seems so obvious that the audience will, of course, state outright that anyone can do it. "Excuse me," tell the audience, "it's not as easy as you think. I even doubt if any of you can do it.

I will arrange the coins again; watch me as long as you want. I'll lay them down as before: tails, tails, tails, tails. Did I do the right thing? Now I'll turn them over."

Do this by touching them with your fingertips. "How do they lie now?" Everyone answers: "Of course, all heads up!" But it turns out that only three are heads up, and one is tails. Lay them out again, this time arranging them alternately: heads - tails, heads - tails.

Flip them over. The natural order (starting from the bottom) would have to be: heads - tails, heads - tails. But it turns out that they lie like this: heads, tails, tails, tails. Arrange them again: tails, tails, tails, heads. If you turn them over, then they would have to lie like this: tails, eagle, eagle, eagle; but it turns out that they lie alternately - tails and heads.

Focus secret:

It's all about using a prepared coin, consisting of two identical halves (in the case above, two tails glued together) so that there is a tail on each side. Hold this coin in your right hand.

After doing the first demonstration with real coins, as mentioned above, lift them with your left hand and, transferring to your right, actually transfer only three of them, then continue the demonstration with the prepared coin.

It takes some practice to deftly hold the three real coins in your left hand (in which you must hold the coin that was occupied during the trick), while secretly holding your own coin.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Philips smart door handle 21.01.2024

Philips Corporation has announced its latest development in home security - a smart door handle with innovative palm recognition technology. This cutting-edge device features a unique biometric system that identifies users by the vein pattern of their palms, reminiscent of the technology previously introduced in the LG G8 smartphone.

Philips' new pen with palm recognition technology represents a significant step forward in home security, promising to improve user safety and convenience.

The special feature of this lock is its folding sensor, which is activated when a hand approaches. Scanning a clear map of the veins in the user's palm allows the built-in sensors to easily and unobstructedly unlock the door when the hand approaches.

Philips claims that this smart door handle with palm recognition can completely replace traditional door locks. It provides control through a special application and voice commands using assistants such as Google Assistant.

The $360 Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2024, bringing a new level of security and convenience to home access.
