Mythbusters EXTRA CREDIT!

Mythbusters is a TV show on discovery channel. This show tests out various myths to see if they are busted, plausible, or confirmed. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are the co-hosts and they are also the ones who take on the bigger myths. Grant Imahara, Tory Belleci, and Kari Byron tackle the smaller myths. The episode that I saw was the superhero special. During this episode Jamie and Adam tested if it was possible to make a real working grappling hook. While they were doing that, Tory, Kari, and Grant were testing the myths if you could leave a mark on someones head by punching there with a ring, how long it takes for a superhero to change into his or her costume, and if it's possible to make a ninety degree turn with a cars grappling cannon. When testing the grappling hook myth, they made sure there was a safety line just in case if Adam or Jamie falls. When they tested out the grappling cannon, they shot it towards a mattress while behind safety glass. Throughout the whole show, they did not break any safety rules. The episode used science when they used the steps of the scientific method. You would need a science background for a career in special effects because the career requires knowing kinetic energy so that you know how much power to use, the scientific method to test out stunts, Newtons three laws that talked about energy, and etc.

card trick 3

Supplies:
~a deck of cards

Preparation:
Remove and arrange 13 cards in the following setup, top card down: Three, Eight, Seven, Ace, Queen, Six, Four, Two, Jack, King, Ten, Nine, and Five. Put these on top of the deck.

A magic teacher named Harold wrote to share a little story he tells his students to help them remember the setup for this trick:
"Three hundred & eighty seven years ago there lived a Queen that was sixty four years old. She had two children. One named Jack, the other named King. Jack was ten years old and King was nine years old and the were both in the fifth grade."
3,8 7,A,Q,6,4,2,J,K,10,9 and 5
Thanks Harold!

Secret:
To start, pretend to shuffle the cards, leaving the top thirteen untouched (young children can skip the shuffling part and just begin with the 13 cards.

Remove the top thirteen cards as a group and arrange them like a fan, so that your audience can see their faces. Square up the cards, and hold them face down.

When you spell out each card, do it as follows: let's say you're spelling the word ACE. Spell A, remove the top card and place it on the bottom. Then spell C, and remove the top card and place that on the bottom. Next spell E, remove this top card and place it on the bottom. Flip the new top card and show that it's an Ace, and place it ON THE TABLE (not on the bottom of the deck).

Continue in this manner until all the cards are face up on the table. (eh: You spell the cards in order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) Your audience may realize that the cards must have been set up beforehand, but this only adds to the mystery - and you can treat it as a puzzle for them to try to figure out.

Card trick 2

Supplies:
11 cards from a regular deck of 52. Take 1 joker, an ace and all the numbers up to 10.



Secret:
Lay out the cards face down in this order: 6 5 4 3 2 A J 10 9 8 7 (A is Ace and J is Joker).

Then have someone move the cards one at a time from right to left.

Say they moved three cards (the magician wouldn't know it though) the position of the cards would now be

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 A J 10

Then wave your hand over the cards and silently count 7 cards over from left to right. Turn the 7th card over. It's the three!!!

It doesn't matter how many cards they move over, this will always work.

Always count 7 cards over (starting with the setup above) and it'll be the number of cards they moved.

If they decide not to move any at all the card will be a Joker and this tells you they didn't move any at all.

Card trick

Supplies:
21 cards, all different

Secret:
First lay out the cards, 3 across and 7 down.

Have someone think of a card and tell you what row its in.

Pick up all the rows, row by row, making sure to pick up the row that the card is in 2nd. do this three times. on the third time, pick up the the 4th one down in the row the person said the card was in
