Hocus Science Focus: Unleashing the Magic of Science
In the realm of science, curiosity reigns supreme, leading us down paths of discovery that unveil the hidden wonders of our world. Embracing this spirit of exploration, we proudly present "Hocus Science Focus," an immersive 3D experience designed to captivate elementary school students and ignite a passion for scientific exploration.
Guided by our expert team, they uncover the scientific principles that underpin the seemingly impossible feats performed by magicians and mentalists.
Science: The Key to Unlocking the Magic
The Key to Unlocking the Magic Through a series of interactive demonstrations, we reveal the intricate interplay between science and magic, showcasing how principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics form the foundation of these captivating performances. Students witness firsthand how these scientific concepts are cleverly manipulated to create illusions that defy explanation. "Hocus Science Focus" was born out of a collaboration with my esteemed friend and partner, Leon Recanati, and the Haifa Science Museum, better known as Madatech. In the special Cinematrix Hall, students embark on a multisensory journey, their senses captivated by the vibrant visuals projected onto the 3D screen. Each seat is equipped with an interactive controller, allowing students to actively engage with the content and deepen their understanding of the scientific principles at play.
Unleashing the Power of Elements
To further enhance the immersive experience, we incorporated elements of wind, water, and even scent, transporting students into the very heart of the scientific phenomena being explored. This multisensory approach ignites their curiosity and fosters a deeper connection with the concepts at hand. In 2008, the hall was proudly dedicated to the memory of our dear son, Lior, who played a pivotal role in its inception. The innovative electric chairs, designed and crafted by Amos and Asi Yarden, stand as a testament to his passion for science and technology.
Igniting a Passion for Science
"Hocus Science Focus" serves as a testament to the power of science to captivate and inspire young minds. By demystifying the illusions of magic and revealing the scientific principles that underpin them, we foster a lifelong appreciation for the wonders of the scientific world.
