I like the way waso thinks. I can also see some VERY interesting uses for ferrofluid. The stuff looks genuinely freaky... and alive...

For Science patter I have a Gypsy Thread that talks about String Theory. It's accurate and entertaining if performed for the right audience.
For actual Science I perform a Rice in Vase suspension from a Chop Stick. The rice makes a sort of pin clutch. Although the audience doesn't know how it works I find it very interesting. Does it count if the audience doesn't know it's based on science? -Mary Mowder |

Lenz's Law. Cheap and simple. Drop a small supermagnet down an aluminium or copper pipe(or any non ferromagnetic metal). It will fall very slowly due to induced currents in the pipe. I have holes drilled in mine so you can see it on its way down. Have a duplicate of the magnet that is not magnetic (e.g. piece of brass or steel) and perform switch so that it falls fast for the spectator but slow upon your command.
Don't get even... Get odd!

This topic is of profound interest to me. As many of you know during the late 18th century and in to the early 20th century many effect that are still in use today were based upon science experiments. These experiments were translated or applied to the principles of deception. I have been studying this aspect of the magical art for many years now and only as of recent published Ideas for Mentalism Number 1. In this work I have applied basic science experiments to the art of Mentalism with out all of the technical jargon.
Among my favorite science turned mentalist, are the PK effects. These effects utilize the science of magnetism. These effects began with the spiritualist movement over a century ago and it was not till the 1940-1950 we began to see new application of the PK principles a wider use. Each and every year I see new effects hit the market place using science as a fundamental base for the creation of magic. This is why this topic is of interest to me, using science to create or form an idea, then applying that thought to a performance and creating an entertaining effect that will in some cases baffle even the most knowledgeable among us. Since the methods are scientific and happen naturally as a result of real forces of Physics. The methodology is right in front of the audience (in some cases) and never seen. In a science based experiment I look only for a few things. 1. Can this experiment be translated to magic or Mentalism? 2. Will it have an impact upon the audience? 3. Can the science behind the effect be done easily? 4. Can it be done with simple or easy to find objects? Bill Montana |
