Magic: The Science of Illusion

Learn card tricks and mind reading illusion in this new exhibition, which reveals the ancient arts of magic and entertainment. With the help of such legendary magicians as Penn & Teller, Jade and Goldfinger & Dove, the illusions are bared to show that these performers use a lot of physics, engineering and perhaps even a little bit of magic to perform their tricks. There’s plenty of interactive experiences and the museum-goer experiences the magic from two perspectives, that of the audience and then that of the magician’s apprentice. Not everything will be revealed and you’ll still go home baffled by all the illusions you see.
