Magic is really just science in disguise! In The Science of Magic, illusionist Bill Blagg takes students behind the curtain to reveal how science makes the impossible possible. From levitating a teacher in mid-air to making homework disappear, students see firsthand how the scientific method powers jaw-dropping magic. With interactive illusions, big laughs and even a surprise snow shower, this action-packed adventure proves that science is nothing short of magical!

Please note, haze is used in this performance.
