Battery and Wire Trick

Make an impressive science trick out of a wire, a AA battery, and a neodymium magnet. You’ll create a homopolar motor – translation: the wire rapidly spins around the battery.

Instant Hot Ice

I promise I’ll get back to real magic tricks tomorrow, but this science trick was just too cool to pass up. It uses sodium acetate to create a supersaturated solution, that when touched, instantly crystallizes and releases heat, giving the appearance and feel of “hot ice.” I remember doing this demo in chemistry class when I was in school. It would be really cool to incorporate this into a trick routine somehow.

Although this video showcases more of a trick of engineering, rather than an actual magic trick, I still thought it was very neat.

Since whiskey is less dense then water, the two can change places with just a slight crack between the containers. It’s pretty neat to see it actually happen.
