		| Abstract: | One of the key concepts in science is reproducibility. A key concept of magic is almost the exact opposite: perform a demonstration in such a way that the audience cannot tell how it is done. By showing examples of each in the classroom, the students get a clear understanding of the difference between science and magic. As a side benefit, some insight into how science is done is communicated in an engaging manner. |
