Wonder Magic Original Science Magic Concert in Gwangju Blends Entertainment and Education

The Wonder Magic Original Science Magic Concert is currently generating buzz in Korea for its innovative approach to combining magic with scientific principles. This performance is designed to captivate both children and adults, transforming potentially complex scientific concepts into an entertaining and accessible experience. It is presented as the first domestic show of its kind to seamlessly integrate these two distinct fields.

Magician Choi Hyung-bae, recognized for authoring the first domestic thesis on science magic and receiving an award from the Ministry of Science and ICT for his contributions to science culture, leads this special stage. The concert emphasizes its authenticity as a "genuine Wonder Magic" production, advising audiences to look for "Choi Hyung-bae" or "Wonder Magic" in the official title. The Gwangju performance is scheduled for November 14-15 at the Gwangju Arts Center Small Theater, with other dates planned across various cities. The show incorporates diverse acts such as umbrella magic, reappearing sheet music, disappearing objects, and demonstrations of scientific phenomena like fire on hand with detergent water and the unique properties of hydrophobic sand.

Local bloggers share that the concert effectively makes science enjoyable and fosters imagination and curiosity among young viewers. They highlight that the show is not exclusively for children, as parents also find themselves amazed and entertained by the magical displays. Attendees often receive special gifts, including stickers, cheering bracelets, Bernoulli vinyl, and optical illusion tools, which add to the interactive and memorable nature of the experience.
