Those willing to absorb a bit more risk may decide to invest in gold futures. However, it is important to note that such a strategy isn't so much "investing" as it is speculating, which equates to gambling in some respects. Term of Investment varies. In general, investing in gold futures is like making a short-term prediction of what the price of gold will soon be. However, many savvy investors invest and re-invest in gold futures over a period of years. Nature of investment: High risk. There is high volatility associated with gold futures, and many inexperienced investors have lost money on them. Profile of Investor: Futures are primarily for seasoned investors. Very few novices make money this way. Futures allow you to control a larger amount of gold than you have in cash. capital that you can afford to lose. If the price of gold drops, you could end up owing more than you invested once commissions are added. Gold futures are legally binding agreements for delivery of gold in the future at an agreed upon price. For example, you can buy 100 oz. of gold for a two-year contract worth $46,600 for as little as three percent of the value, or $1,350. The commodity trading firm charges a commission for every trade. Each trading unit on the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) is equivalent to 100 troy ounces. Electronic trading on the Chicago Board of Trade (e-CBOT) is another way to trade gold. Then you can collect your earnings or pay your losses. An investor can exchange a futures position for physical gold, referred to as EFP ("exchange for physical"). However, most investors offset their positions before their contracts mature instead of accepting or delivering physical gold. When you buy a futures contract for a fraction of the actual cost of the assets involved, you are basically betting on a small change in the price of the assets. You can make a lot of money buying gold futures if the value of gold goes up relative to your currency, but if it goes down, you can lose everything you invested and possibly more (if your futures contracts do not simply get sold to someone else when you do not have enough money down). This is a way to hedge a risk or speculate but not in itself a way to build savings.

You do not need to purchase a special deck of cards for this particular illusion. Do not worry if your deck isn't complete, but do make sure it contains all four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs) of at least three card types (i.e. 5, 6, 7 or Jack, Queen, King, etc,). To make the illusion convincing, you should use three sequential cards (for example, Jack, Queen, King). Pull out all four suits for each of the chosen cards. If you are using the above example, you will have the following: Jack ♥️ Jack ♦️ Jack ♠️ Jack ♣️ Queen ♥️ Queen ♦️ Queen ♠️ Queen ♣️ King ♥️ King ♦️ King ♠️ King ♣️ Both sets should follow the sequence (i.e. Jack, Queen, King) and should contain both a red and black suit. Using the above example, your sets could look like this, but do not have to follow this exact order: Set 1: Jack ♦️ (red), Jack ♠️ (black); Queen ♥️(red); Queen ♠️ (black); King ♣️ (black); King ♦️ (red) Set 2: Jack ♥️ (red); Jack ♣️ (black); Queen ♦️ (red); Queen ♣️ (black); King ♠️ (black); King ♥️ (red) It does not matter which card you choose. Hide that card out of sight. You will not need to use it again during the illusion. Shuffle Set 1 and place the six cards in front of you. You can either leave the cards stacked facedown or can spread them out. These will be the six cards that your audience initially sees. Be sure to shuffle the five remaining cards first. You will need to place this set in a location that will be easily reachable during the illusion, but hidden out of sight. You may want to wear long sleeves or wear pants with pockets.

While there is a lot of calibrating that goes into high end speakers, the basic technology is actually pretty simple. An electrical current is run through a wire that is attached to a magnet. This current makes the magnet vibrate, and those vibrations are picked up by our ears as sound. To hear the sound well you should also get a small plastic tupperware or cup. This will amplify the sound much like yelling into a cone amplifies your voice. You want to wrap the wire 6-7 times starting from the middle. Make sure you leave several feet of wire unwrapped on either side of the magnet. Tape this coil onto the bottom of your tupperware, but without the magnet. Using both ends of the leftover copper wire, make an even large coil and tape this on top of the smaller one. Like before, you will leave roughly a foot of leftover wire on each side of the coil -- this is how you will attach your "speaker" to your music source. You want it to sit comfortable within both coils, but don't worry too much about touching every inch of wire. The most common attachment is an 1/8th inch cable or "Auxiliary" cord (the input on most headphones). Wrap one end of the wire around the top of the metal input and the other around the bottom. Gator clips, which are small clamps that transmit electricity, can make attaching your copper wire to a music source easier. Try using a stronger magnet, keeping your coils tighter, using different "amplifiers," and playing different music sources at different volumes.

Find copper wire, packing tape, and a strong magnet. Wrap the copper wire around the magnet several times to make a coil. Use a bottlecap or other round object to make another, larger coil. Place the magnet on top of the two coils. Attach both copper wires to a music source. Tinker with your speakers to get better sound.
