As a third grader, I attended my very first magic show. Due to a bit of miscommunication between the teachers and the magician, I ended up as the line leader, finding myself backstage staring at the magician's props. These were the very props that had just confounded everyone on stage not an hour earlier. That day was pivotal; it was when I learned that magic is, in fact, science! In 1996, my first school magic show sparked a passion for blending entertainment with education. I discovered magic isn't just about tricks—it's a captivating way to reveal the wonders of science.
