Galloway, N.J. – Did you know that the first magicians were actually scientists called alchemists? 

More fun facts and tricks, including items mysteriously disappearing and reappearing or floating in midair, will be on the main stage of Stockton University’s Performing Arts Center at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23.

The scientific principles behind the tricks in “The Science of Magic” will include condensation, magnetism, light, refraction, reflection, optical illusions, mental confusion and molecules.
