Magic: The Science of Illusion

In this exciting traveling exhibit, guests experience theatrical illusions as audience members do, and then peek behind the scenes to see how each illusion is performed. Video products featuring master magicians Penn & Teller, Max Maven, Goldfinger & Dove, and Jade are also part of the illusion sets.

The exhibition measures 8,000 sq. ft. of which 2,000 sq. ft. is a performance theater. Included in the rental are traveling trunks, complete theater scripts and program presentation manual, a workshop training video, and press kit with logo and related marketing materials.

Magic is based around four popular illusions, aptly titled:

  • Amazing Living Head, where a video of Penn & Teller guides you through this feat of floating your own head!
  • The Light and Heavy Chest, where Jade illustrates how a seemingly light-weighted box can become too heavy to lift.
  • The Rising Chair, where Goldfinger & Dove assists in levitating your chair while you are sitting in it!
  • The Magic of Mind, where master mentalist Max Maven predicts what's in your mind, and he's always on mark.
