Take a beaker full of crazy science, add a test tube of comedy, then a drop of magic, and you’ll have The Magical World of Crazy Science. In a multi-coloured spectacle of giant smoke rings, glowing test tubes, mountains of slime and enormous bubbles, this production offers a fascinating and vibrant peek inside the mad scientist’s lab.
Performer Richard Scholes has an equally impressive cocktail of experience, Australian Stage Magician of the Year, he has performed for Billy Connolly, Shirley MacLaine and the King of Sweden!
Richard teaches students about catalysts, reactants, chemical change and science safety. Use the teachers’ resources to have your students hands-on and creating their own Magical World of Crazy Science.
The Magical World of Crazy Science is also available for On Demand.
Produced by Richard Scholes.
