A Stuntology presentation is a dazzling array of physical impossibilities and absurdities that can be wrought with everyday objects. Stuntologist Sam coaxes horrible sounds out of straws, makes forks float, napkins balance, and paper expand. Sam demonstrates, then it’s your turn...you will be mystified and amazed by stunts that work brilliantly, and even more entertained when stunts fail miserably. It’s all part of the experiment! Explanations fly along with objects, and the audience becomes a little smarter and more motivated to understand the workings of the world around us. Find out more about Sam Bartlett's work here.
Ideal for ages 6+ with caregiver; all families welcome.
