At first glance, it might be difficult to understand why magic tricks are such a – GREAT WAY – to explain science, but Steve has found that SCIENCE and MAGIC have lots in common, and kids love the way Steve uses his magic tricks to illustrate the difference between them! SCIENCE is the study of how the natural world works. MAGIC is creating the ILLUSION that you can defy the laws of nature.
