Science or Magic?

[Sombeech]

It's not magic, it's science! For the science-minded YouTube viewer, those boring old magic trick videos lack intellectual rigor.

Some magic tricks can be cheesy, and pulling rabbits out of a hat or shouting "Abracadabra!" is for little kids. Being the more mature, discerning adult that you are, you demand more from your party tricks. It turns out, the world of science can offer you hours of entertainment, as well as knowledge.

Just because something can be explained by science doesn't take away from its sense of wonder. From optical illusions to physics tricks, there's actually a lot of magic in these YouTube videos.

Why does his assistant have to wear a bear suit in the first video? Made me laugh though.
