I do not like Leprekonov. Personally, they didn't do anything wrong with me, you just never know how to behave with them. Dwarfs, orcs, elves and goblins - everything is clear with these races, each has its own characteristics that have become familiar. And the Leprekonov is incorrect, abnormal nature, because of this, in their presence, I almost always have nervous.

Ilya Novak, "Blaints sparkle brightly"

Everyone knows that small green men are indigenous aliens. But if you met a little man, dressed in green, who is he? Most likely, Leprechaun. And they are not so strange - well, no more strange than the rest of the magic folk of Ireland.

Appearance and occupation

Traditionally it is believed that leprekon. (or leprekhun) - The redhead man is tall of only two feet (a little more than 60 cm). Female Lepreks in Celtic mythology is not, it is always a man, and the elderly - at least, quite adults to get a beard. Some say, they live on average 300 years old, other sources call 1000 digit, and no one knows. The older Leprechaun, the more harmful and more prone to packets.

They dress up, as a rule, in green camisoles and the same pants, wear a green hat with high tulle and shoes with buckles. Green clothes Lepreks are worn to make it easier to hide in the grass of the native "Green Hills of Ireland". They also hold a tube with them - and smoke strong, smelly tobacco.

There is another characteristic detail that will help you to unmistakably distinguish them from aliens - leather apron of a shoemaker. It is not for beauty, leprechauns are engaged in shoe craft - dangle shoes for fairies. Fairy, as you know, love to dance and carelessly people who have fallen to them can get to death in their dance. Of course, they need shoemakers! Other artisans among the little population are not observed, but there are shoemakers.

It is interesting: To no one else managed to catch Leprekon working on a pair of shoes, he always had only one in his work - on rumors, left.

If you compare the People's Sadders "drunk as a shoemaker" and "drinks as an Irelander", it becomes clear where Leprechaun has a red nose and oddities of nature. They adore the Irish Moonshine "Potin" and, despite children's height, can drink a lot - but do not hope to drink Leprechaun to reveal his secrets. As soon as it comes to treasures, they trowel instantly. Metabolism is apparently.

No clarity in the question who are curranians (clurichaun. or clobhair-Ceann.) - Whether this is the closest relatives of Leprekonov, with a particularly bad character, whether the Leprechauns themselves are on vacation. Currcans are always drunk in the insole, scandaling, steal, at night will jump on pets, live in the wine cellars ... In general, it seems that the burner Leprechaun becomes a cloak.

Origin Leprekonov

There are several versions, where the word "Leprechaun" came from (eng. leprechaun., Irl. leipreachan.). The two most popular is the origin from the Irish Gael luprachan.ascending to Starrichland luchorpan.which means "dwarf", or from Irish leith Bhrogan. - Supozhnik, who hards only one shoe, half a pair.

As most terms denoting the magic folk (Fairi), the word "Leprechaun" has not long been lucky with translations into Russian. Try, for example, set this task to the Google translator, and you will receive a choice of two options: "Elf" and "Gnome". Quite the same thing, yes?

Leprekona, like many other magic beings of the Irish Folklore, appeared on the Emerald Island long before the Celts, during the time of the tribes of the goddess Danu. William Yeats wrote that when, with the arrival of Christianity, the Irish was stopped reading the ancient gods, they decreased in size. So, perhaps, the little men in the green were once big.

It is interesting: By the way, in green leprechauns, too, dressed quite recently! Back in the nineteenth century, they wore red clothes around - and she differed from residents of different regions of Ireland.

- What about Leprekhunov? - asked the detective.

- Small folk? - contemptuously threw a bartender. - Maybe they are Irish, but they are unlikely to be proud of them. Vicious, incorrect tribe, if you want to know my opinion.

- Are they here?

- Yes, I would not have a single and gun shot! - Rumped the bartender.

- Are you talking about the British? - An old man came up with an angle. - to kill them all a little!

- No, - cut off the bartender. - We are discussing the small folk.

"Ah, these," the old man extended. - Twice to kill their little!

Saint Patrick and Leprechauna

March 17 in many countries celebrate St. Patrick's Day, which turned into the holiday of all Irish. This is a fun holiday, with beer (including green), with persons painted in the colors of the Irish flag, and with dancing, of course. However, until the 1970s, this holiday was considered extremely religious in Ireland and did not assume special fun, and the beer establishments were closed at all. But times have changed. For the current day of St. Patrick, the Christian Holy himself was too serious, the cartoon character will not do from it. But from Leprechaun - please!

So the cunning representative of the magic miner became a symbol of the Christian holiday. An interesting story happened to the clover sheet. The trilley, in which the Holy Patrick on Legend visually explained the concept of the Holy Trinity ( "Just like three sheets can grow from one stem, and God may be one in three faces."), eventually turned into a symbol of the independence of the country, and then began to mean Ireland at all, and on this day people attach it to clothing. But Clover Leprechaun, his luck mascot, is a four-leaf! Yeah, with Fairi, it is better not to lose vigilance - I will enan the gold, make it chasing the rainbow, come around the clover sheet, and the person can no longer say that he is celebrating.

- What, foci with coins? - Susini asked, loyading the chin so that a dishonorant boroden was sophisticated. - Well, since it came to focus with coins, see.

He took an empty glass from the table. Then he handed his hand and pulled a large coin from the air, gold and brilliant. He threw the coin into a glass, and from the air pulled another one who threw to the first, so they would ring each other. He pulled out a coin from a flame candle in a candlestick on the wall, and the second - from his beard, the third - from empty hand shadows, and all alone threw in a glass. Then he squeezed his fingers over the glass, tunted firmly in them, and a few more gold coins were poured out of his hand. A glass with sticky coins he overturned himself in his pocket jacket, and then patted it, showing that there was definitely empty.

"Here," he said, "I call this focus with coins."

Neil Geima, "American gods"

One but fiery passion

There is a leprechaun the subject he loves more than a bottle. This is his pot with gold, buried in the ground. On the treasures of Leprekonov indicates the end of the rainbow - but only the master of gold can lead to it. Therefore, people always tried to catch Leprekonov and put out the treasures from them, and dressed in the green men learned very well did not come across, which is why they earned a reputation of non-worn and secretive. You will become an unlikely, when greedy to someone else's good giants are trying to unwind out of you, earned by unbearable work, and still so well-stranded!

However, it is reasonable to ask - and where did the firewood from? Do not the fairy pay them for the shoes full gold? Of course not. The legend says that the strokes of the pots with Golden Leprekonam were commissioned by Vikings. More precisely, the Vikings gave them to the preservation of looted wealth, and Leprekoni ruined coins on clay and metallic people and buried in different places.

It is also known about the other source of wealth: when people kept their savings in the coin call, Leprechauns made their way to their homes at night, slowly scheduling on a piece of precious metal from the edge of each coin. Alas, in the era of paper and electronic money, this number no longer passes.

Although they say that some leprechauns have mastered the concept of virtual money and moved into different virtual worlds. Integrity, however, they did not better have it, rather, rather.

But back to coins. To protect against greedy versil - that is, we - Leprechauns invented a lot of money. So, besides the pot with gold, Leprechaun has two leather wallet. In one - neramenny silver shilling; If they pay them, he returns back to the wallet. In the other - a gold coin, and also not easy. Leprechaun uses it to boot from the person who caught him. It is worth believing him and let go of a cunning, Leprechaun will disappear, and the coin left them will turn into a sheet or crushed the pipe.

If you met Leprekon

- And where should I find at least one?

"Well, here's a problem with this," the poet confessed. - Hold the Master: It's worth any of them to turn to you sideways, and it will disappear - even in a clear noon in the middle of a blank street. - Finnegan paused. "I suppose it would be better to visit one of the usual places of their gathering and keeping there, until you can shoot one of them - and as soon as it turns out to be in your hands, do not let him go.

Michael Reznik, "By the next of the unicorn"

If you are lucky to catch Leprechaun (it is unlikely that it happens, honestly, - but suddenly? ..), do not agree on a single coin, even if gold and museum. Your freedom, a small little man appreciates extremely high. You may require all his wealth in return - or even the fulfillment of three desires! However, why, after all, he is not a wizard? Legends say that the power to fulfill desires was given more powerful fairies. It is an extreme remedy in the magic arsenal of the Bashman's crumbs, but it will save it in case all the rest of his things do not affect you.

But to let the leprechaun, first need to be caught. And how to catch a creature that is almost impossible to notice? It is difficult to say than they own leprechauns, magic or NLP technique, however, they are hiding from the eye they masterfully. Even if Leprechaun is right in front of you, it is worth a glance or at least blink - and it is no longer. Of course, a large number of Irish beer also contributes to the "template rupture", but the deserted men do their tricks in nature even more successful than in a pub. And only a shouter of a shoe hammer gives Leprechaun, which works nearby above the urgent order.

Leprekonu brings good luck four-leaf clover (Shamrock). Do not try to climb a few hills for work: you will find such a piece of paper - you can remove with a deer shorty. And the semakes found on St. Patrick's Day brings twice as good luck!

There are cases when Leprekoni disinterestedly helped people who liked them. If you are decently played on Irish folk instruments, for example, at Volynka, and even a part of the Green Party, you have a chance. But, of course, help does not imply parting with treasures - if they suspect the mercenary intentions in you, will harm our best. Still would! Each owner will do this in their place.

Lepreks in books and films

Basically, the Leprechauns are written by English authors of fantasy, it is understandable.

Leprekoni serve as masters of the team of Ireland by Quiddich in the book of J. Rowling "Harry Potter and the Fire Cup." They create a rainbow over the field, which turns into a sparkling four-leaf clover, from which rain rain gold coins rain. Those who are familiar with the habsties of Leprekonov, unlike the simplicity of Ron Weasley, of course, guess that gold is fraudulently and will soon disappear. However, in the translation of M. Spivak Leprekona, at nothing ... that is, they are "incredar". Good word, just why it? Leprechauns, they are leprechauns.

But with the translations of Terry Pratchett there was a reverse story. In the original, Leprekonov is not, but there are dwarfs (GNOME) and gnomes (DWARF), which in Russian traditionally translated as the dwarves - and those and others. Therefore, some pratchett's translators dwarked with leprechauns. And leprechauns - nothing ... hmm ... suspicious symmetry! Maybe this is the trick of Leprechaun? There was a translator's eyes, then the reader is in their style. And while we look there, where it was just like Leprechaun, he is already somewhere else elsewhere.

In 1959, Walt Disney produced Darby O'Gill and Little Milk Film, where Leprechauns appear. The film was distinguished by special effects magnificent for his time and had a great success. It was the first role of a young bank of Connery in Hollywood - so it turned out to be a happy acquaintance with Leprechauns.

The film "Country Fay".

The film "Leprechaun".

The film "Country Fay" film in 1999 was called the name "Magical Legend of the Leprechauns". This is a good fairy tale for family watching - young Leprechaun falls in love with the princess of elves, the war flared up between the tribes, and then another American businessman wants to build an amusement park, traveling destroying the magic country. Wousing Goldberg plays in the film Great Banshi, Witch.

And the film "Leprechaun" is more accurately, a franchise, as many as six films from 1993 to 2003, plus comic-related comedies are a horror comedy. Scary, but Charming Leprechaun plays Warwick Davis. People constantly encroach on his gold, and Leprechaun will take revenge on them, makes different misses and even kills. A couple of times, Leprechaun is trying to marry, even in space flew to this, - but he had interfered whenever. And in vain. Suddenly he would become kinder?

Leprechauns in computer games

Adventurequest worlds.

Adventurequest worlds.

Folklore tradition is adamant: Leprechauns are only male. (Where did they come from, in this case? There is a version that from uncomplicated fairies, with grief connected with goblines, - but most sources tactfully bypass this question silence.)

However, computer games went to meet gender whims of players. Artix Entertainment, ONLINE ROLEVER CREATORS Adventurequest worlds., In a couple of young Leprechaun, you created a young ... hmm ... Leprechka? In any case, not a leprechand, for this she is too glamorous.

Lepreks B. Adventurequest worlds. - This is one of the free gaming (not starting) classes. The characteristics of Leprechaun are among others include the "Irish blessing" and "Patrick's Secret". There is a happy sword and a happy leprechaun hat, and you can get his armor, finding a pot with gold and returning the owner of a lost ass.

Amazingly, everyone remembers Leprechaun from the second and third parts HEROES OF MIGHT & MAGICLittle man in green clothes living under a magical mushroom. Although it is not even a gaming character, but simply way once a week earn a robberry five hundred gold coins or five gems. Perhaps the fact is that it is almost the only one known to humanity when the cunning men can be offended regularly and with a guarantee! True, they were a bit in them, so if the player did not have an extra hero to collect "filters", he quickly stopped to overheat the men - waited for more great things!

Heroes Of.
Might & Magic

Therefore, in the fourth part of the game, the heroes were released from the need to travel for the tribute personally. It was necessary only to stroke the point with the resources, and they continued they automatically entered the treasury. At the same time, Leprechaun became a combat unit of the first level in the nature fraction - from among the additional beings that can be called on using the portal in the castle. True, the fighter came out of him very weak, unless he imposed a spell of good luck - and then only once for the battle. There is also a first-level nature spell that causing leprechauns on the battlefield, the number of which depends on the level of the magician.

IN Warlords Battlecry. They are a combat unity of the people of Fay, with a magical attack and protection. IN Age of Wonders Leprekhuna is listed among half amenities. They have good magic protection, they know how to tease, steal, swim and shoot spells. TO Planescape: Torment. The developers in 2000 released a fun patch that turned the game character by Anna to Leprechaun.

There are very short flash games online, where this character is intended, for example, - for example, Leprechaun's Gold., O "Conner" s Coin Quest or Leprechaun Loot..

So Leprechas are gradually mastering the virtual world. Where there was a speech about luck, rainbow, gold and tricks, be careful and try not to blink - you have a good chance to meet Leprechaun.

Dear friends!

Not so long ago, disassembled your focus stands, I came across the trick, which was "in the store" without movement for many years. Perhaps when I acquired it, he seemed to me little interesting, but, after reading the description of the trick, I suddenly realized that there were huge potential opportunities for mastering the effective system of Suggestion. However, let's in order.

As you can see, the development of this room belongs to the famous married couple of Focusnikov Aldo and Rachel Colombini.

I bow before the mastery of Aldo Colombini.

Aldo Colombini (March 19, 1951 - February 12, 2014) was a producer of Italian origin. I think that it can be called an excellent magician, a talented teacher of the art of illusion, the author of many tricks and various books and publications. His wife, Rachel, who also acts as an illusionist, currently lives in Florida.

When Aldo first arrived in the United States (from the native city of Modena, Italy) in 1993, he did not speak English at all. In all his video, seminars can be heard and not disappeared accent, which, however, gives the charm to his magic tricks.

St. Patrick's memory, the patron saint of Ireland, is celebrated on March 17. Holy Patrick, according to legend, brought Christianity to the pagan island and expelled all the snakes.

Traditionally, parades are arranged on St. Patrick's Day. People who dressed in extravagant costumes, and also brass orchestras who cannot do without a famous flomp will come to the streets of many cities.

People's Solva states that this tradition was born in Ireland.

New York and Boston challenge the palm of the championship. At least, residents of New York claim that the first parade took place in 1762 in their city.

This holiday converts national borders and has become a kind of international day of Ireland. In different cities of the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Bright processions, parades and walking people dressed in green clothes (National Color of Ireland), are noticeable everywhere where the Irish residents live.

The clover, the symbol of Ireland and good luck in the pettitsa is in this day.

With the name of St. Patricks, many legends are connected, for example, that he with the help of a three-lift clover explained to people the concept of the Holy Trinity. "Just as three sheets can grow from one stem, and God may be one in three faces," this is the phrase of Saint has already become a shittomaty.

In Ireland, there is a tradition to attach a triligent to clothing, symbolizing the cross, the color of Catholicism, and the character color of the "emerald country" itself.

In Irish pubs, a huge number of the most famous "Guinness" drinks, but serve green beer in the circles with the images of a shader.

But at St. Patrick's Day there are pagan motives. Thus, one of his indispensable heroes are "Leprechauns" - fabulous bars who own a hidden pot of gold.

Each leprechaun or family of Leprekonov belongs to a pot with gold coins, swallowed in the ground.

On the hidden treasures of Leprekonov indicates the end of the rainbow - but only the owner of gold can lead to him. After all, as you know, the rainbow can be seen, but I have not yet been able to find the place where it begins.

But if a lucky trekking seeker manage to catch Leprechaun, then this creature must tell a person where his treasures are hidden. However, if you suddenly catch the shoe, remember that it should not be fully believed, "these little men are malicious and rolling.

They can easily deceive the gullible treasure seeker. But the magician to deceive or beat quite difficult. Even Leprekonu. Therefore, there is always hope to get a magic treasure!

It was the pot of gold - the magical treasure of Leprechaun, lay down the original props and focus itself developed by a casombini.

PROPS

Little "pot with treasure."

In the pot of multicolored "coins" - a green coin, gold and purple.The fourth is the secret that you hide in your hand. For the time being, the audience do not know what kind of coin it is.

Dear readers of my blog!

I reworked the text of the explanation of the trick, trying to allocate the suction elements of the dialogue with the viewer. With this props, you can show a lot of foci, and the coins can be the most ordinary.

If you are interested, write in the comments. I will lay out my description and reflections on the demonstration of these focus. I sometimes appear some doubts about those materials that I am typing here. It seems to be a blog visit quite a lot, but there are practically no comments. So, the material is most likely uninteresting, old. After all, I do not have time to follow all the novelties.

So, waiting for your replicas.

"... But she never revealed entirely, there was some mystery in it, which no one could solve, not to mention to share it with her. She was the very pot of gold, which lies on the end of the rainbow ... "
(Quote from the book "Audrey Hepburn" S. Benua).

The wonderful book in a soft cover, which gave me so many pleasant impressions. Probably, about such a nice man as Audrey Hepburn, and it is impossible to write a bad book :)
S. Benua managed to captivate me with the narrative, in which he told about the difficult childhood of the heroine, and everything is her life and creative path. In his author's manner, Benua builds a story about actresses through the close connection of her filmography and relationships with men, as it was in the books and about M. Merro, and about Sorbo.
It was interesting to read not only about Audrey itself, but also about the time in which she lived, especially about the state of Europe in the pre-war time, on fascist sentiments in society.
About her role in the formation of the brand of the lives in the world of fashion, as well as about the backstage of fashion designers in the world of cinema.
In addition, the author managed to make a narrative of very interesting facts about Sadre Hyopburn satellites, their destinies.
And, of course, as much as possible, S. Benua tried to reflect the inner world of our heroine, to understand her craving for creative self-expression, as well as to charity.











Audrey could be married to a millionaire D. Henson. But ... I chose a career.






He read about Gregory Peks with satisfaction - which he, it turns out to be a cute and good man. With Audrey they were just friends. It's a pity:)



Her husband of Audrey became Mel Ferrer. But, unfortunately, the success of the Actress's wife and his own worried career actor served her bad service ...




Audrey, as she who dreamed, dreamed of children, and she was not able to bear the baby for a very long time ... as rock, she had several very passionate novels - but the men admitted to her that fruitless ... Audrey stopped these relationships.




Were in Career Audrey and unsuccessful films.




But most of the paintings with her participation we remember by heart!




And this is my favorite movie with Audrey.





To be honest - I tried as elegantly and gracefully crossed the legs. Well, at least crash! For this, apparently, you need ballet education, like Audrey :)






This marriage was so possible ... Albert was free, the marriage of Audrey also exhausted himself. Look at what happy eyes from both what sincere smiles. But Audrey's husband threatened her that if she serves for a divorce, he would call the cause of "married infidelity", and Audrey by law would deprive the opportunity to see the son. She broke the relationship with Albert Finni ...





No matter how surprisingly, but such a seemingly closed and "strict" woman, like Audrey, lived quite rich relationship with men life.
As you guess in the maps, there is such a surcharge - "Than the heart calms down." Sezry Audrey found happiness in relations with Robert Worders, who fully supported her charitable activities and accompanied on trips to third world countries. It really reminded me of Angelina Jolie and Breda Pitta, a review about the book-novelty I will soon publish :) I read the book too with great pleasure!

Pleasant discoveries!

Leprechaun - the character of the Irish Folklore, traditionally depicted in the form of a small chorean man dressed in a green suit and hat. It is most likely, or from the Irish Leath Bhrogan - "shoemaker", or from Luacharma`N - "Dwarf". Leprekona, like many other magic beings of the Irish Folklore, appeared on the Emerald Island long before the Celts, during the time of the tribes of the goddess Danu. William Yeats wrote that when, with the arrival of Christianity, the Irish was stopped reading the ancient gods, they decreased in size. So, perhaps, the little men in the green were once big.

Leprechauns have a kind of small (about 2 feet growth) man of old age. If you compare the People's Sadders "drunk as a shoemaker" and "drinks as an Irelander", it becomes clear where Leprechaun has a red nose and oddities of nature. They are often suitable, but hobby m (Poitin - Irish Moonshine) Does not affect their skill skoes. They masked shoes for other representatives of the otherworldly forces - for example, Fay, fairies, as you know, love to dance and carelessly people who have fallen to them can get to death in their dance. Of course, they need shoemakers! But no one had the opportunity to catch Leprechaun at work - they are usually seen only with only one left shoe.

In addition to tailoring boots, the responsibilities of Leprekonov include the search and storage of ancient jewels. The vikings were forced to this session, which were embraced by theft of treasures. After that, Leprekona began to wade into the houses to sleep at home and pinch up a small piece from each coin. Each leprechaun or family of Leprekonov belongs to a pot with gold coins, swallowed in the ground. On the treasures of Leprekonov indicates the end of the rainbow - but only the master of gold can lead to it. Therefore, people always tried to catch Leprekonov and put out the treasures from them, and dressed in the green men learned very well did not come across, which is why they earned a reputation of non-worn and secretive. You will become an unlikely, when greedy to someone else's good giants are trying to unwind out of you, earned by unbearable work, and still so well-stranded!

Leprechauns wear green clothes (To make it easier to hide in the grass), pointed hat and leather apron. They also hold a tube with them - and smoke strong, smelly tobacco.

The legend says that if you catch Leprekon, he must fulfill three desires or show where its gold is stored. The little barhouse has two different widths: in one lies silver shilling, which always returns back to the wallet, and in the other - a coin of pure gold, which, when he gets into the hands of a person, turns into a woody leaf or paper, and sometimes in the ash . Therefore, the Leprechaun does not have any good to wait.

I do not like Leprekonov. Personally, they didn't do anything wrong with me, you just never know how to behave with them. Dwarfs, orcs, elves and goblins - everything is clear with these races, each has its own characteristics that have become familiar. And the Leprekonov is incorrect, abnormal nature, because of this, in their presence, I almost always have nervous.

Ilya Novak, "Blaints sparkle brightly"

Leprechauns are very friendly and cute creatures, but if they are offended, they immediately become "monsters". They can be offended if they did not leave the milk saucer at home. Also in the anger they are driven by a broken thorns, killed Malinovka, and, of course, they are angry, having lost the treasures. After such violations, they immediately demonstrate their venaceous character and magic. And do not hope to drink Leprechaun to reveal his secrets. As soon as it comes to treasures, they trowel instantly.

Leprekona possess telecinesis. They are the masters of illusions, and they can become invisible. Leprekonov and Fay can stop cast iron or wrought iron. They say that Leprekoni live in small cave or in forests.

- And where should I find at least one?

"Well, here's a problem with this," the poet confessed. - Hold the Master: It's worth any of them to turn to you sideways, and it will disappear - even in a clear noon in the middle of a blank street. - Finnegan paused. "I suppose it would be better to visit one of the usual places of their gathering and keeping there, until you can shoot one of them - and as soon as it turns out to be in your hands, do not let him go.

But Clover Leprechaun, his luck mascot, is a four-leaf! Yeah, with Fairi, it is better not to lose vigilance - I will enan the gold, make it chasing the rainbow, come around the clover sheet, and the person can no longer say that he is celebrating.

Female Lepreks in Celtic mythology is not, it is always a man, and the elderly - at least, quite adults to get a beard. Some say, they live on average 300 years old, other sources call 1000 digit, and no one knows. The older Leprechaun, the more harmful and more prone to packets.
