The Magic of Science
Glenn L. Morris brings to the public a lecture-entertainment in which many new and interesting facts of science are popularized and presented in a non-technical manner. He is a specialist in putting things within reach of his audience. The surprise and humor of unexpected situations keep attention at high pitch. A snappy series of startling stunts mystify you with seeming magic. Many odd devices literally cover the stage. Even though you know little of science, you will be delightfully entertained. Those with scientific training will be equally appreciative, as scores of college audiences testify. Not only does the program serve as a summary of recent developments, but for old and young alike it creates wonderment, curiosity, and a desire to know more about the world in which we live.
Outline of Demonstrations
ELECTRICITY AT HIGH PRESSURES.
At once the audience is on common ground as 100,000 volt flashes of lightning give a close-up of the awe-inspiring display of Nature.
STROBOSCOPIC ILLUSIONS.
In which you see things that do not happen.
INDUCTION DEMONSTRATIONS.
Revealing the flexibility of electricity.
THE EARTH-INDUCTOR COMPASS.
This will help you understand why successful air navigators succeed.
THE ELECTRIC EYE.
Several demonstrations show the tremendous possibilities of this new tool.
RADIO CONTROL.
The unseen hand takes charge.
FREAKISH FREQUENCIES.
A rapid-fire comedy of unusual effects.
POWER TRANSMISSION WITHOUT WIRES.
Wireless lamps, radiant energy, and fever machine.
Typical Reaction of Educators
DR. HOMER L. DODGE, Head of Physics Dept., Oklahoma University.
The entertainment which Mr. Morris presents is outstanding in two respects:
First, it is a great 'show'. There is no one before the public who has been more successful in devising interesting and spectacular scientific demonstrations which in quick succession surprise, startle, amuse, and entertain…
In the second place, Mr. Morris is perfectly sound in his science. He is a talented showman and knows how to put over the demonstrations by the use of humor and surprises, but he never resorts to misleading tricks or exaggerated statements. He can hold the attention of young and old at high pitch for an hour and a half, notwithstanding the fact that everything is said and done with scrupulous attention to correctness and scientific detail.
DR. L. W. SMITH, SUPT. OF SCHOOLS, BERKELEY, CALIF.
The students were intensely interested throughout. I consider it of first-rate value in stimulating interest in science. It is also of high value as an entertainment.
