A Kind of Magic

By Severi Haapala (Finland)

---

A Kind of Magic is a modern version of the 19th -century Pepper’s Ghost illusion. It forces us to ask if we can believe our eyes as the magic trick is done and revealed at the same time. 

What can we create with bottled air? Will the glow of the coals create heat, and will the heart-shaped cloud eventually form from smoke, steam, haze, or magic? No smoke without fire? Think again!

The Library will also host a cafe, with crafted light features, run by The Friends and a beautiful, handmade Basket of Light, made during Explore week, for donations to the Olive Tree foodbank.
