It's a kind of magic!

HI DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY PRACTICALS THAT COULD BE USED AS MAGIC TRICKS.MY SCHOOL IS DOING TOPICS FOR KEY STAGE 3 AND ONE IS IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC. IT INVOLRS INVOLES LIGHT AND MAGNETISM. ANY IDEAS???

Hi have you tried using mirror tricks, or using ring magnets to make it seem like the are hovering?

Hi

I am not sure if you can use this but try the pepper and water science trick. It is one of the easiest magic tricks you can perform.

1. Pour water into a plate or bowl.

    

2. Shake some pepper onto the water.

    

3. If you dip your finger into the pepper and water, nothing much happens.

    

4. If you put a drop of dishwashing liquid on your finger and then dip it into the pepper and water the pepper will rush to the outer edges of the dish. If you are doing this as a 'trick' then you might have one finger that is clean and another finger that you dipped in detergent before performing the trick.

How the Pepper & Water Trick Works

When you add detergent to water the surface tension of the water is lowered. Water normally bulges up a bit, like what you see when you look at a water drop. When the surface tension is lowered, the water wants to spread out. As the water flattens on the dish, the pepper that is floating on top of the water is carried to the outer edge of the plate as if by magic.
