This Is Chicago’s Best K-8 School Assembly
Compelling. Interactive. Incredible. It’s like magic because it IS magic.
“When will we ever need this?” Students K-8 are FASCINATED to see how magicians use science, technology, engineering and math to fool our audiences’ brains.
Scott Green’s one-of-a-kind assembly “Engineering the Impossible” focuses on electromagnets, microcomputers and powers of two in a way that’s amazing even to kindergartners.
Students learn the story and the secret behind the most important magic trick ever performed, the one that prevented a war between France and Algeria, then see it duplicated live and in person.
Five of their classmates will join me on stage to become human transistors.
And they’ll learn a trick they can perform at home that answers the question, “When are we going to need math?”
This show is so engaging, it’s ridiculous. Even the most jaded eighth graders will admit they love it.
Dates fill fast—book now and bring this incredible assembly to your school!
Duration per presentation: approximately 45 minutes.
Available in-person or virtually.
For Grades K-8 (yes, really!)
How can the same assembly work for 5-year-olds and 14-year-olds?
The stories in the show are compelling for all ages—a magic show that PREVENTED A WAR, for example—and they’re not stories the older children will have encountered, so they’re novel.
Also, in a typical magic show, the magic that fools the older children is too complicated for the younger ones, and the magic that’s simple enough for the younger kids won’t fool the older ones. But this show exposes the secrets of how its tricks work, so there’s nothing to figure out!
However, if you’re able to split your students by age, Scott will tailor each presentation to the grades present in the audience.
RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR SCHOOL
How about a no-risk school fundraiser families enjoy from their own homes?
During your school’s incredible live private Zoom performance, the magic happens in every child’s hands.
How?
When families sign up, they receive a box in the mail they won’t open until the performance begins. The surprises inside the box create a uniquely interactive experience, and children even learn how to perform magic tricks by re-purposing the mystery items.
