Museum of Science, Boston

Traveling Program [Return to listing page]

Ever wonder how magic tricks really work? This program investigates the science behind the "magic" of several classic magic tricks. You might learn how to snatch a tablecloth without disturbing the items on top, make a balloon fireproof, and use electromagnetism to defy gravity. For the grand finale, our educator will demonstrate how science can make it safe to lie down on a real bed of nails.
