Multiplying billiard balls Excelsior Ball Trick, August Roterberg , 1898 clarify date October 2011 reason What does Excelsior Ball Trick mean, why is it here, why is it capitalized, why is Roterberg credited when the info below suggests he only refined it? And why is Excelsorio Ball Trick appearing here, when the two Roterberg sources named below have different titles? is a Magic illusion magic routine that is popular with both amateur and advanced conjurors but still rarely seen. As its name implies, the magician uses sleight of hand to manipulate a number of billiard ball s the balls are often smaller than actual billiard balls , giving the impression that he is making them appear and vanish at his command. Effect In this presentation, the magician will hold a single ball in his hand. The ball suddenly becomes two balls, in plain view of the audience. He then proceeds to produce a third and fourth ball, all in the same hand. The magician will then vanish the balls, one at a time, until only one remains. Often, part of the routine involves the magician giving the impression that he is passing the balls through his body, in and out of his mouth, fingertips, and pockets. Sets of multiplying billiard balls are available from magicians supply stores. The quality, size, material, and price of the balls can vary greatly and are dependent on the magician s personal taste. The balls are most frequently made of wood, plastic, or metal. There are new balls on the market with the name fakini they are made out of silicon . the price is 100 dollars. Credits From an article by Tom Stone magician Tom Stone in the Swedish magazine Trollkarlen No 152 2003 The history of the Multiplying Ball effect isn t as ancient as one might believe, but it is all the more messy. The origin has been tracked back to Buatier de Kolta , who in 1875, for the first time ever, performed an effect where one ball magically was produced, and then multiplied into three balls.

Typical examples include a magnifying glass or a lens in a pair of simple glasses reading glasses . Simple lenses are prone to aberration in optical systems aberrations , especially chromatic aberration . They cannot be used for precise imaging and make poor camera lens es. They are commonly used for laser applications, however, where the beams are both monochromatic minimizing chromatic aberration and narrow minimizing spherical aberration . Some camera s with Focus free lens fixed lenses have been made using a simple lens, usually a meniscus lens with the convex face facing outward. In such examples the lens aperture is made small and in some cases such as the Kodak Brownie camera Brownie 127 camera , the photographic film film plane is curved to reduce the impact of aberrations.

The curved face or faces of a cylindrical lens are sections of a Cylinder geometry cylinder , and focus the image passing through it onto a line parallel to the intersection of the surface of the lens and a plane tangent to it. The lens compresses the image in the direction perpendicular to this line, and leaves it unaltered in the direction parallel to it in the tangent plane . Cylindrical lenses can be used to correct astigmatism eye ocular astigmatism , although toric lens es are more commonly used. They can also potentially be used in solar water heating installations, such as a plastic pillow type solar water heater.

Image Image erecting system.png thumb right Image erecting optical system for astronomical telescopes Erecting eyepiece . In optics, a relay lens is a lens or lens group that inverts an image and extends the optical tube. Relay lenses are found in endoscope s and periscope s for the purpose of extending the system, and before eyepiece s for the purpose of inverting an image. They may be made of one or more conventional lenses or achromatic doublet s, or a long cylindrical GRIN gradient index of refraction lens a GRIN lens . Relay lenses operate by producing intermediate planes of focus. For example, an objective lens such as an SLR lens produces an image plane where the image sensor would usually go. If you place a lens with focal length f a distance 2 f from that image plane and then put an image sensor 2 f beyond the lens, that lens will relay the first image to the second with 1 1 magnification see Lens optics Imaging properties Lens imaging properties . Ideally, this second image plane will be identical to the first, so you could put a sensor there and record exactly the same image. If a longer distance is needed, this can be repeated. In practice, the lens will be an achromatic doublet . Also, for endoscope applications, where small tube diameter is desirable, most of the tube is filled with glass, with thin air gaps to allow for powered surfaces because marginal ray angle is smaller at a given numerical aperture the higher the index of refraction , this allows the relay to have higher NA for a given diameter.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Lens sag is a problem that sometimes afflicts very large refracting telescope Technical considerations refracting telescope s. It is the equivalent of mirror sag in reflecting telescope s. It occurs when the physical weight of the glass causes a distortion in the shape of the lens optics lens because the lens can only be supported by the edges. A mirror on the other hand can be effectively supported by the entire opposite face, making mirror sag much less of a problem. One expensive solution to lens sag is to place the telescope in orbit around the Earth .
