#partner @penguinrandomhouse Thanks for the free book
If you have a budding scientist that wants to expand these principles into an area that can be entertaining for others, this book is perfect. Who does not enjoy some cool magic tricks? Most kids do and this book is the perfect combination between science and magic. The book has 50 experiments that work like magic by showing such phenomena as a flame seemingly moving through the air from candle to candle. Adult supervision is recommended, but the tricks are perfect for home use since no specific laboratory equipment etc is required.
The recommended age for kids is 8 through 12 years of age and magic tricks can be done using regular household materials. Not only are these tricks fun, but they are also useful to reinforce the scientific principles learned in school by using them in tricks. The instructions are easy, can be followed and understood by kids of this age group and the author has even included some questions so that the budding magician can talk with the audience during the magic show. This last part is great to also help shy kids overcome some of the fear of talking in public. Providing guidance on what to talk with the audience during the magic show can teach these kids that being in front of an audience is nothing to. be scared about.
Overall, a very entertaining book that is also good for teaching sciences in its practical applications.
This book is available on amazon.com and is currently available for a discounted price.
