Trik Richard Rain

dicopy dari edymagic.blogspot.com


Trik ini dilakukan Richard Rain saat acara hits (waktu aku posting ini acaranya masih berlangsung).Yakni Rain mengoleskan lipstik di punggung telapak tangan vokalis BONUS (lupa namanya hehe).Lalu ia menggosok2kan sampe ilang dan tiba2 coretan lipstiknya pindah di telapak tangannya.Ini rahasianya :
Pertama oleskan dulu lipstik di jari tengah tangan kanan kamu.Jangan sampe ada yang tau !!.Lalu suruh korban meluruskan tangannya secara tertutup (telapak menghadap ke bawah).Lalu berpura-puralah menurunkan tangannya (katakan Agak turun sedikit),nah saat Kamu nurunin tangannya , kamu pegang telapaknya dan oleskan lipstik yang ada di jari tengah kamu secara diam2.Lalu ambil lipstik dan oleskan di punggung telapak tangannya,lalu gosok sampe ilang dan berpura2lah memindahkan lipstiknya ke telapak tangannya.Udah. . .gampang kan?

Complete List of Simple Present Forms
USE 1 Repeated Actions


Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

USE 2 Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.

Direct and Indirect Speeches

Direct Speech refers to reproducing another person’s exact words or saying exactly what someone has said (sometimes called quoted speech)

We use quotation marks (“__________”) and it should be world for word

For Example :
Nicky said, “it’s hot
Or
“it’s hot, “Nicky said”

Indirect speech refers to reproducing the idea of another person’s words that doesn’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word

Indirect Speech is sometimes called reported speech

The tense usually changes when reporting speech this is because we are usually talking about a time in the post and obviously the person who spoke or ginally spoke in the past.

The verbs there fore usually have to be in the fast too

- Note : the reporting verbs that are usually used to report imperative sent are : Tell, order, command, ask, warn, remind
- Don’t forget to mention the indirect object father warned me motto drive fast
- When we want to report what someone said, we do not usually repeat their exact words, we use words. We can use reporting verbs, such as tell, say, ask followed by that–clause?
Example : My mother said that she got up at 5 O’clock
- When reporting verbs is in the present, present perfect, or future, there is no change of tense in the words reported
Example :
- She will tell you
- She has just haid

In times expressions and pronouns
Direct Speech Indirect Speech
Now Then
Today/Tonight That day/ That night
Last week The previous week
Ago Before

Sometimes we need to report someone’s questions the reported question are introduced with the verb ask, inquire, wonder, want to know, etc.

Membengkokkan sendok dengan kekuatan pikiran

Dalam salah satu aksinya, pesulap Deddy Corbuzier memegang sebuah sendok di tangan. Sorot matanya tajam memandangi. Dalam hitungan detik, gagang sendok itu melengkung dengan sendirinya. Aneh sekali. Padahal ia tidak menggunakan jari-jarinya. Bagaimana itu bisa terjadi?
Membengkokkan sendok merupakan salah satu trik pesulap yang belakangan sering dimainkan. Selain, Deddy, David Copperfield atau Uri Geller juga sering melakukannya. Kemampuan itu tearnyata bisa dilakukan setiap orang. Bukan sihir, bukan tipuan. Berikut ini kami sajikan trik itu agar anda bisa membengkokkan sendok.

Ambil beberapa sendok dari dapur anda dan letakkan di atas meja. Kemudian gunakan feeling anda dan biarkan sendok itu berbicara kepada anda untuk menentukan sendok mana yang nanti anda pilih untuk dibengkokkan. Jika sudah dapat salah satu sendok, maka anda bisa segera memulai.
Pegang gagang sendok secara vertical dan tatap dengan seksama. Di dalam hati, perintahkan sendok itu agar membengkok dengan bahasa anda sendiri. Misalnya, “Hai sendok, bengkoklah sekarang!” Pada asat mengucapkan sugesti itu, anda harus yakin dan percaya diri.
Kemudian lakukan meditasi. Konsentrasikan pikiran dengan rilek. Tarik nafas dan hembuskan dengan teratur. Bayangkan nafas yang anda hirup adalah energi dari semesta alam dan ia menjadi sebuah bentuk bola emas di atas kepala anda. Buang nafas yang anda sugestikan sebagai energi engatif dan hirup udara segar ke dalam solar plexus anda.
Lakukan tehnik itu kira-kira 15 tarikan nafas sambil jari-jari anda memijat gagang sendok. Sugestikan terus bahwa anda telah memiliki energi yang cukup untuk membengkokkan sendok di tangan anda. Jangan terburu-buru, kumpulkan terus energi yang hirup dari nafas anda.
Dalam dua detik berikutnya, anda semakin meningkatkan tarikan nafas dan hembuskan kuat-kuat. Lakukan ini semakin cepat. Kemudian, cepat-cepat anda berpaling ke arah lain, misalnya memandangi jendela dalam hitungan satu detik. Tapi, anda tetap memijat gagang sendok. Sekali anda berteriak lebih cepat dan keras: bengkok! bengkok! bengkok!
Anggap saja sendok itu bagaikan sebuah karet yang lentur. Dan memang, sendok itu pelan-pelan membengkok seperti karet. Setelah dua atau tiga kali sendok itu melengkung, lepaskan ia di meja dan tunggu satu menit. Sendok itu berubah menjadi keras kembali, meski anda memijatnya kembali.
Rahasia tehnik ini adalah energi yang didapat dari pikiran. Energi itu hanya bisa didapat dari konsentrasi, sugesti dan keyakinan tinggi. Lain hari, jika anda berhasil membengkokkan sendok lagi, tertawalah dengan keras seperti seorang yang sombong. Anda berkata di dalam hati bahwa anda telah membengkokkan sendok berjuta-juta kali. Ini akan membuat anda semakin percaya diri hingga anda akan lebih mudah dan cepat membengkokkan sendok.
Tehnik ini diajarkan oleh Shannan D. Rohde, seorang pakar dalam penelitian paranormal. “Ini sama sekali bukan magik, ini murni kekuatan dari pikiran,”tegasnya. Menurutnya, energi yang digunakan untuk membengkokkan sendok itu juga bisa diterapkan dalam bidang lain. Misalnya saja, anda ingin mematahkan sebatang besi, tehnik pun bisa digunakan. Mungkin saja sugesti manteranya berbeda. Katakan saja pada diri anda, bahwa besi itu rapuh seperti kerupuk, sementara tangan anda beratnya berton-ton. Maka patahlah besi yang keras itu oleh sabetan tangan anda.
Jadi, mematahkan sendok itu tidak sulit kan?
