The things that we use every day become such a huge part of our routines that we seldom notice their simplest features. However, look carefully and you may notice that your favorite items have been designed to do much more than you thought. For example, the little brushes by the side of an escalator are not for polishing your shoes but are actually an interesting safety feature. Or have you ever noticed a tiny groove on the bottom of your favorite coffee mug? No, it's not broken! In fact, tons of things you use every day without thinking twice are equipped with tiny gizmos. And here are 18 day-to-day things that have always had some amazing hidden features that we probably never knew about.

So, stop banging the bottom of your sauce bottle already and hit the "57"! - French sailors were the ones who invented this style, and pompoms actually served a very practical purpose. They prevented the sailors from hitting their heads against the ships' low ceilings. - If you don't have anywhere to put such a toothpick after using it, snap off the flat end at the first groove and put it on the table. - When you wash cups placed upside down in the dishwasher, the grooves make sure that water doesn't stagnate in the cup bottoms and spill all over your feet when you take the cups out. - Despite what most people think, the tiny dot next to the camera on an iPhone is NOT the flash! It's one of the three microphones that starts recording once you switch on your back camera. - Pen manufacturers know more about little kids than you can imagine. And to prevent kids ones from suffocating, they started to place holes in pen caps, so that even if one gets stuck in a child's throat, the air can still get into their lungs. - If you don't have small kids around, turn the lid on the bottle upside down and there you go! It's no longer childproof. - The small ridges on letters "F" and "J" on your keyboard are made so that you can type without looking down at the keyboard. - This tiny hole has a very important task: it helps to drain water from the outdoor lock after the rain, which prevents the thing from rusting and clogging. - The arrow shows the side of the car where your fuel tank is. You'll see the true value of this feature as soon as you rent a car and drive it to a gas station! - You're supposed to try out your cleaning products on this piece of fabric first, so you don’t ruin the whole thing when you decide to wash it! - It appears that originally, margins weren't created for making additional notes! They used to protect your work from... rats!

Anyone who’s ever watched a magic show might find themselves really convinced that these people studied at Hogwarts! But do you know that there’s nothing magical about illusion? Except how it makes you feel! It’s kind of fun to experience that “wow” sensation! It almost always leaves us wondering: “How did he do that?” Because as exciting as magic can be, it gets a bit frustrating trying to figure it out. But even the most head-spinning tricks can easily be explained. So let's ease your pain by revealing the secrets behind 13 common tricks. Next time you see one of these tricks, you’ll know exactly what’s going on behind all the smoke and mirrors! TIMESTAMPS: Torn Bill 0:24 Disappearing Glass 1:13 The Signed Card 1:48 Make $100 from $1 2:26 Pulling a Rabbit out of a Hat 3:07 The Human Zigzag 3:58 Michael Jackson's Gravity-Defying Lean 4:29 Going Through a Mirror 5:04 Breaking out of Handcuffs 5:36 Getting Free of Chains Underwater 6:14 The Saw Trick 7:08 Linking Rings 7:48 Disappearance of the Statue of Liberty 8:20 #magictrick #illusion #brightside SUMMARY: - #1. This trick is done using a special “gimmick” that slides on to the eraser-end of the pencil. It should be the same color so that it blends in perfectly. - #2. The handkerchief has a hidden wiry ring that creates an illusion that there’s a glass under it. As for the glass itself, the magician already slid it into a secret hole in the table! - #3. The illusionist hides a folded card in his sleeve beforehand, replaces it with the viewer's at the right moment, and then rips it up. - #4. As you display the $1 bill while keeping that 100 concealed, you slyly slide it over until it’s hidden behind the top left corner of the dollar. - #5. While the illusionist shows the audience that the hat is absolutely empty, the rabbit is hidden under the table. The hardest part is getting the rabbit from the bag and into the hat without the audience noticing! - #6. The success of this trick depends on the assistant’s flexibility. - #7. The secret was in his shoes the whole time! They had holes in the heels that attached to little metal pegs in the floor. The shoes also had a sturdy support frame that came up on his legs quite high. - #8. The construction allows his assistant to move the mirror aside and replace it with the 2 panels so that he can crawl through. - #9. Houdini studied all kinds of locks his whole life and had an encyclopedic knowledge of handcuffs. He could guess which key would open this or that type of cuffs at first glance. - #10. The chamber’s special design was key for this trick. Since his body was displacing some water, it created an air pocket in the tank. Secondly, Houdini’s unmatched skills also played their role. - #11. What you can’t see as you try to peek at the show through your fingers is that those feet aren’t actually hers! There’s a second assistant underneath that box, and her feet are sticking out. - #12. It really is just smooth sleight-of-hand because there’s a tiny gap in one of the rings – he’s just sure to keep it hidden under his hand. - #13. After the curtain goes up in the beginning, the platform is slowly turned until the Statue is out of the audience’s line of vision.
