REAL-WORLD SCIENCE: Harness the power of physics to engineer a mind-boggling magic trick — a levitating wooden lantern that floats in thin air! Then learn all about how tension and tensegrity make this “impossible” illusion possible.
BUILD-IT-YOURSELF: Open your DIY wooden lantern kit, wire up the lantern, build the lantern base, then pick up the stand and move it around to see the levitation in action. Learn how to tinker with and troubleshoot your lantern until it works just right.
EDUCATIONAL: Try tilting and tipping your lantern around to test the limits of its levitating power. Then explore the science of tension and tensegrity and how they make your levitating wooden lantern tick.
HANDS-ON FUN: Discover the science and mechanics behind a variety of levitating illusions — from magnet-powered “magic” tricks to whole hovering magicians. Then check out some early prototypes and sketches of your lantern, and read all about the inspo behind the design.
