Reviews
Grade 4-8-- A companion to Magic Tricks, Science Facts (Watts, 1990), this title presents tricks that are entertaining, easy to master, and firmly based on scientific principles. Each of the 20 inclusions is well organized, with 5 clearly explained sections: effect, routine, props, method, and the scientific explanation behind the magic. A few tricks require elaborate or uncommon props (liquid nitrogen in one case), but most materials are easy to find. Two tricks that require adult supervision are clearly noted. As with Sheridan's Nothing's Impossible (1982) and Cobb and Darling's Bet You Can't (1980, both Lothrop), this combination of science and magic is hard to resist. The scientific explanations behind each trick are often fascinating and always lucidly written, although the "Vanishing Line" explanation contains a math error. Clear diagrams are included when necessary, and are more useful than the slightly fuzzy black-and-white photos. A winner for magicians, science students, and booktalkers. --Steven Engelfried, Pleasanton Library, CA
