Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology presents Magic with Static! S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays Workshop

HAMILTON, ON – The Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology at 900 Woodward Avenue,  is excited to present Magic with Static! on January 18 from 10 am to 12 noon. Tickets are available online for $25 per child and pre-registration is required. This is a supervised drop-off kids’ workshop although parents are welcome to stay if they choose.

A magician never reveals their secrets…but science can! Learn all about the ‘magic’ of static electricity, and the science behind different magic tricks and illusions. Kids will leave with a kit of magician supplies and a secret booklet of illusions to amaze audiences with magic tricks using the mysterious power of static!
