At a glance

Magic or Science? is a 60-minute show for kindergarten to grade 6: a magician, helped by a young apprentice, makes objects multiply and vanish, links rings together and even tries telepathy.

Students look for the science hidden behind each trick, then learn five tricks to perform at home: the three-rope knot, the three hoops, the magic thumb, the three cups and the rope and the little ring. The show has no minimum or maximum number of students.

Take up the challenge: figure out the science hiding behind our magic tricks!

Objects that multiply or vanish, rings that link together, even telepathy!

With one of your young apprentices as an assistant, our magician will amaze and entertain your group.

Want to know the secret? Say the magic words and we will teach five tricks your children can practise at home:

  • The three-rope knot.
  • The three hoops.
  • The magic thumb.
  • The three cups.
  • The rope and the little ring.

Now it’s their turn to amaze family and friends!
