Illusioneering

Here is a fun site that teaches science by way of magic tricks. LINK  The site is a brainchild of Peter McOwan and Matt Parker from Queen Mary, University of London. It just hit the web this month and the purpose is to help teachers and students to better understand science by making fun tricks using scientific principles. It also shows some common magic tricks and explains how they work. The site has downloadable explanations, videos, and more, including Penn and Teller's world's most expensive card trick. Great for children, grandchildren, teachers, and the curious child in all of us.
