The Science of Magic


Believe it or not, there's a lot of science and physics involved with magic. For instance, there are ways to angle mirrors so it looks like you are levitating from one angle. Magicians also use mirrors to make an object levitate inside of a box. You can make a marble move uphill with two parallel rods. The marble sits on the rods. If you operate the rods properly, you can make the marble climb uphill. Some objects may be made to balance strangely by altering their center of gravity. Magnets levitate on rods if you reverse their polarity (i.e., south pole and south pole, north pole and north pole).

So you see, there really is more to magic than what the audience sees!
