Children can be both scientists and magicians - all at once! With just a little practice and these 50 super experiments, children will amaze people with fool-the-eye illusions. This title is aimed at children age 8 to 12 years old. Children can be both scientists and magicians - all at once! With just a little practice and these 50 super experiments, they'll amaze people with fool-the-eye illusions that also illustrate basic principles of visual perception. They're amazingly cool, too, featuring tricks of motion; distortions of length and size; tilts, twists, and topsy-turvies that give a new slant on things; and, fantastic flat-screen phantoms that play with illusions of depth.
