Book Description

10 and up
New in Paper
More fun than magic, these hundreds of tricks, puzzles, illusions, and experiments all rely on the amazing powers of science and nature. Using only readily available supplies, you can explore the wonders of water, air, friction, light and mirrors, mathematics, sound, gravity, magnetism, and perception. Turn one half of a flower blue and the other red. Lift an ice cube out of a glass with nothing more than a piece of string. Make a paper bug that moves with the help of a lemon, and push pins into a balloon without bursting it. Every trick includes a scientific explanation of why and how it works.
