 as part of I ♥ Reading in Portland: Time of Wonder! Summer Reading Program

Riverton Branch Library, 1600 Forest Avenue 

Portland, Maine - Portland Public Library is pleased announce that the Boston Museum of Science is bringing the wonder of magic to our Riverton Branch as part of the summer reading program, I ♥ Reading in Portland: Time of Wonder! Have you ever wondered how magic tricks really work? This program investigates the science behind the “magic” of several classic magic tricks. You might learn how to snatch a tablecloth without disturbing the items on top, make a balloon fireproof, and use electromagnetism to defy gravity. And for the grand finale…see how science can make it safe to lie down on a bed of nails!

This event is free and open to children ages 5-12.
