Using non parametric statistical analyses and Reliable Change Index, the results showed that these children receiving MAGNITIVE particularly improved their performance in sustained attention, shifting attention, and mental flexibility, changes were also observed in processing speed performance yet further research is needed in terms of selective attention and inhibition, given the great individual differences within this sample.
A total of 11 children with ADHD (from 8 to 12 years) participated in separated groups of two different community settings (hospital center and school), and were assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and a 3-month later follow-up in different tasks involving processing speed, sustained attention, selective attention, and mental flexibility. The present study examines the effectiveness and feasibility of the MAGNITIVE program, a manualized intervention for cognitive training through the learning of magic tricks. Previous studies have explored the impact of magic tricks on different basic cognitive processes yet there is a need of examining effectiveness of a cognitive training program through magic tricks for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Results demonstrated that the learning and performing of magic tricks could impact all three domains of learning resulting in student improvement in on task behaviors, planning and sequencing, socialization and meaningful conversation, and fine motor skills/dexterity. This is an activity-based, academic and functional curriculum that integrates simple magic tricks into classroom instruction in an organized, systematic manner. Teachers used the Hocus Focus tm curriculum for this project. This project was implemented to determine if learning and performing magic tricks as a part of an educational activity could bring about improvements in specific areas for special learners.
However, instruction that addresses these needs is often not a component of the school-wide curriculum. Many of these students have – or will have – a significant need to develop not only academic skills but also functional and social skills. We are asking educators to teach an increasingly heterogeneous population of students, some of which face additional learning challenges. When using one of these gear rings, select 0.8mod for your gear pitch.As a society, we are looking to schools to be or become settings where our children learn the skills for successful adulthood. These are available from Shoot35, Zacuto, Redrock Micro or Cinevate. When using SLR/DSLR lenses, the user will have to use a gear ring on the lens. The Hocus Focus is not currently FCC tested or approved for use in America.
0.8mod - 32pitch, for clamp on gear rings made for SLR lenses The Hocus Focus includes one drive gear, with additional sizes available. The case is fitted out with custom cut foam and has a pocket to hold all of your batteries and spare items. The whole system is supplied in a Storm im2100 case, which is water and dust proof, and carries a lifetime manufacturer guarantee. A 15mm rod clamp is standard with the option of a 19mm clamp available for those using a RED camera. The motor has a quick change hub for a selection of gears with different pitches.

The transmitter features a full size fluid drag control knob with removable marking rings. The receiver also includes a battery mount which will accept standard Sony NP (Z1 type) batteries. The transmitter requires a single 9v battery (12hrs runtime) and the receiver features a standard 4pin XLR (12v) power input, allowing the user to power the unit from a standard accessory power supply. The system provides a choice of 10 bands on which to transmit the encoded data stream and two user definable limits to calibrate motor movement or serve as focus stops. The Hocus Focus is a wireless remote follow focus system which allows the user to precisely operate the focus ring of an SLR or broadcast lens from up to 200 meters away.
