Physics is Good for You!
Physics is Good for You!
Physics demonstrations and magic tricks may share characteristics. Many a good physics demonstration produces unexpected results and many a good magic trick is based on obvious physical principles.
The author will present a number of physics demonstrations dressed up as magic tricks and will use some obvious and some not-so-obvious performance magic (1) in explaining physical principles. Although no great secrets of magic will be revealed, the optical principles behind a whole class of magical effects will be demonstrated and discussed.
