"Illusion Workshop™ Children are introduced to captivating optical illusions, discovering the mechanics of how the mind and eye perceive our surroundings. While exploring special effects in the entertainment industry, they find inspiration from the inventors behind real-life theme park technology for their own moving props using pneumatics. Blending the realms of science and art, they are challenged to create their own spin-o-scope to show the illusion of motion.
