This book will help you baffle everyone with your astonishing scientific powers. You have the ability to make some amazing things happen! Did you know that you can: turn one half of a flower blue and other red, lift an ice cube out of a glass with a piece of string, and push pins into a balloon without bursting it? It's true! All you will need are a few supplies you probably already have on hand to perform these amazing tricks, illusions and experiments. More fun than magic, each one of these "tricks" relies upon the remarkable forces of science and nature: gravity, friction; magnetism; light and mirrors; floating; optical and sensory illusions; sound; and mathematics. Every trick includes a scientific explanation of why it works. This book is by a very popular author whose long-running "Trick of the Month" feature in the "Physics Teacher" journal and over 70 puzzle books have delighted science teachers for over 30 years.
