Each trick is explained using step-by-step photographs, and the science behind each one is showcased clearly and simply. Interspersed throughout the book are profiles of famous magicians and illusionists, such as Harry Houdini and David Blaine, and stories of how they used science to create their most famous tricks.

What's fantastic about this kids' activity book is that many of the magic tricks or experiments are something you learn to perform on a friend and require practise.
