9814986PerlovThe California Science Center will develop an exhibition, "Abracadabra: The Science of Illusion." This will be a 6000-sq.ft. traveling exhibit. The theme, the science behind magic, will help visitors understand that magic is based on the complex interplay between sensation, perception, physical science and math concepts, culture, and the art of performance. The goal of the exhibition is to use the public's fascination with magic as a bridge to learning basic science in the area of optics, electromagnetics, simple mechanics, math, physiology and psychology. The exhibit will include seven thematic sections and an enclosed theater for live and taped performances. The exhibition will open at the California Science Center in October, 2000 and then will travel to the six science centers that participate in the Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative. It is estimated about 4 million people will view the exhibition during its national tour.

加州科学中心将举办一个展览，“咒语：幻觉的科学”。“这将是一个6000平方英尺。巡回展览。 主题是魔术背后的科学，将帮助游客了解魔术是基于感觉，感知，物理科学和数学概念，文化和表演艺术之间的复杂相互作用。展览的目的是利用公众对魔术的迷恋作为学习光学、电磁学、简单力学、数学、生理学和心理学等基础科学的桥梁。 展览将包括七个主题部分和一个封闭的剧院，用于现场和录音表演。 展览将于2000年10月在加州科学中心开幕，然后将前往参加科学博物馆展览合作的六个科学中心。 据估计，在全国巡回展期间，约有400万人将观看展览。
