Educational Magic Shows by MysteryVisits

* FOR EDUCATIONAL VENUES * 

"SCIENCE VS. MAGIC"  

Our unique educational program is a fast-paced 45-minute experience that delivers family-friendly entertainment while combining illusion, travel storytelling and hands-on interaction. It's an engaging show designed to spark curiosity about how scientific discovery unfolds, aiming to reach schools, libraries and supportive nonprofit venues. 

Equal parts wonder and learning, "Science vs. Magic" nurtures literacy, critical thinking, and STEM education goals, inspiring young minds to read, explore and imagine what’s possible. 

Targeted at ages 8 and up, this program guides students step-by-step through the scientific method. Anyone can adopt a scientist's mindset by asking questions, testing ideas and seeking truth through evidence - and there are souvenirs for interested students to work with and study!

Magic is a compelling visual teaching tool, capturing attention and aiding memory retention. This is how our audiences grasp scientific ideas while enjoying an entertaining interactive magic show!    

(Approximately 45 to 60 minutes, $250 plus expenses.)

"DON'T BE FOOLED!" 

This successor to "Science vs. Magic" teaches young people (and everyone else) how our senses can be manipulated and deceived by various illusions — optical tricks, mental assumptions, social habits, and more deceptive practices. While weirdness can be fun, it can also be risky. This session is infused with valuable information on avoiding everyday illusions. (Approximately 30 to 60 minutes, $200 plus expenses.)  

We can work with student groups of any age with adult supervision. A special feature is that most of our shows are interactive, and for that reason we work best with student groups of 60 or fewer.
