Synopsis

Described as a collection of 89 of Gardner’s finest tricks, this book uses simple “magic” demonstrations to introduce scientific principles including electricity, magnetism, sound, gravity and water. The activities are designed to be both entertaining and instructive, featuring effects such as levitating matches, somersaulting eggshells, spinning pennies and balancing silverware.

Only basic everyday items are required, and the explanations are supported by 89 black-and-white illustrations. Suitable for both children and adults interested in hands-on science.
