The Science of Magic
Friday
May 20, 2011
10:00 AM
For centuries magicians have used scientific principles to make people levitate in mid-air and vanish in the blink of an eye. Illusionist Bill Blagg’s one-of-a-kind educational experience, The Science of Magic, takes students on a rare, never-before-seen journey “behind the scenes” of the magic world. Students will discover firsthand how magicians utilize the ever popular Scientific Method to create the impossible!
Bill’s action-packed presentation is highly interactive and will have students making the magic happen first hand by making one of their teachers levitate in mid-air! In addition, Bill will also perform some of his renowned grand-scale illusions such as his award winning Dancing Hank, Walking Thru Steel and much more! Students will watch in amazement as the Scientific Method creates magic right before their eyes!
The Science of Magic is not directed at teaching the specific methods magicians use to fool their audiences. Rather it’s designed to excite, educate, intrigue and promote students to think “outside the box” and spawn their curiosity about how the Scientific Method can be used to create the impossible!
