</p> <p>They feature over 20 presentations that are very entertaining and Professor Clint Sprott is an amazing and dynamic speaker.&nbsp; You will watch as he explains various ways that magicians use physics in their tricks and watch as he does magic before your very eyes!</p> <p>For example, he does experiments like instantly boiling water without even heating it!&nbsp; Then it instantly freezes!&nbsp; How was he able to boil something and then turn it into ice?&nbsp; Well tune into his presentations and get a greater understanding of physics!</p> <p>If you have the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp?displang=en">Windows Media Player 9 or later</a> installed, you can videostream the shows directly to your computer for free by clicking the following links:</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
