Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the video effect. Acquire the supplies. Shoot the initial footage. Remove the characters. Record the background. Record vanishing magic tricks.

Answer: This trick is an easy way to vanish someone from a video. It doesn't require a live audience but can look professional. You can incorporate this trick into any type of video project you're working on. You'll need a standard video camera and a tripod. If you don't own a tripod you can set one up on a study surface for your video camera. The idea is to not change your camera's the location. For a realistic effect, weave the vanishing effect into your video, so it appears seamless. For example, your video is about a futuristic society who teleport for transportation. In this scenario you'd script the dialogue in a way that the characters are talking about teleporting somewhere, or are preparing to teleport. Shoot the footage up until the moment that you want the characters to disappear. It might help if they countdown, 3-2-1 and then cut the scene. Have everyone in the shot leave the camera's eye. Check on the camera's display monitor to ensure that the shot is only the background. If you roll the film from exactly where you left off, it'll appear as though the characters disappeared from their location. If you want them to reappear: cut the scene and gather all the characters back into their original positions and continue filming. Another way for you to perform magic tricks is by using the camera to relay your magic tricks. Follow the above steps to incorporate various approaches to making somebody disappear. You could even expand beyond people and cause cars to disappear! Be creative and have some fun in the process.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sort and rinse the beans. Soak the beans overnight. Put the beans in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Serve the cooked beans.

Answer: Fill up one cup (236.6 g) of lima beans and spread them out on a pan or towel. Pick through them for shriveled and broken beans or debris. Then, rinse the beans in cold water. You can use a colander to rinse them. Put the sorted beans into a bowl filled with two or three inches (5.1 or 7.6 cm) of water. The water should be at room temperature. Allow the beans to soak overnight. If you can't soak them overnight, soak them for at least eight hours. Drain the bowl of all the water when the beans are finished soaking and rinse them in cool water one more time. Soak the beans in the refrigerator if your kitchen gets very warm. Soaking the beans helps to remove indigestible sugars. You can also use a pressure cooker to cook the beans. Add four cups (946.4 mL) of water to the one cup (236.6 g) of beans. The water should rise an inch or two (2.5 or 5.1 cm) over the beans. If you choose to cook more than one cup of beans, then add four cups of water for each additional cup of beans. Reduce the heat when the water begins to boil. Let the beans simmer for about 45 minutes. If you have a pressure cooker, allow the beans to cook for three to five minutes. You can serve the beans as a side, or you can mix them into a salad, soup, or casserole. If serving as a side, add a small amount of butter and/or pepper to the beans for flavor. Fresh baby lima beans can last up to one week if stored in a refrigerated area, but cooked beans will only be good for one day even when refrigerated.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide on a theme. Choose hooks that work for your surroundings. Choose a configuration. Tie strings for your lanterns.

Answer:
Whether you're planning a wedding, a family reunion or a simple barbecue, you'll want your lanterns to fit with a theme. White lanterns work well for weddings, while bright colors will brighten up a summer party. Search online for the perfect kind to fit your theme. Pick a holiday-specific color scheme. Christmas events generally feature red and green, while Easter parties use pastel colors like light pink, light purple and light yellow. Look for event-specific lanterns. Some paper lanterns have printed patterns specifically for holidays, like Menorahs for Hanukkah, hearts for Valentines day, or pumpkins for Halloween. If you're having a party to celebrate a game day, use colors from the sports team your group favors. Parties can be held in a variety of different venues: tents, picnic shelters, even boats. You'll need to find fasteners that work for your situation, and most importantly, they'll have to be easy to remove. Think about using adhesive hooks, or try tying your lanterns directly to rafters or tent supports. Decide the placement of the lanterns and the heights at which they'll hang. Look online for ideas to match the setup that you are planning for. Sites like Pinterest have many example photos to help your creativity along. Consider hanging them high up above your guests' heads where they won't be in anyone's way. Tie lanterns across beams or supports. If your event setting has a shelter or tent, hang lanterns across the supports to create a large canopy of lights. Tie lanterns in bunches. Bunched lanterns hanging at different heights create great focal points at your party. Choose a point on a beam or support and tie five to ten lanterns in the same area, all at different heights. Try mixing the sizes of the lanterns to make your bunch even more eclectic feeling. Light a path with lanterns. Hang the paper lanterns low to the ground on short poles to create a cool effect. Use poles made for hanging potted plants, or make your own small poles with hooks. Then place the poles along a path or sidewalk to light the way to your party. Once you've decided how high you want your lanterns to hang, it's time to tie them up using twine or fishing line to create an "invisible" floating effect. Tie a sturdy loop at one end of the twine, then slip it over the lantern's hanging device. Then, tie the other end directly to a beam or loop it over a hook.
