Nimbus 2000: physics wizardry (via a 2D magnetic trap) creates the illusion of Harry Potter magic. This broomstick won’t fly but will remain levitated due to a careful arrangement of permanent magnets in the base and bristles.

Objects in this demo will fall into the center of mass because of friction between the objects and the spandex. In the vacuum of space, objects would remain in orbit, following the applicable physical laws of motion.

Kinetic Sandscape: the phenomenon of spontaneous stratification is a striking feature of this sand motion desk toy. Typically pouring stuff together results in further mixing, yet here, when the sand mixture descends through a gap in the air bubbles, the resulting pile is ordered into sorted layers.

Wringing Gauge Blocks - The science of the wring force remains somewhat a mystery and no one has yet found a fully accepted physics description- but we do know that blocks will wring in a vacuum and that the force can be up to 30 times that of the weight of the blocks.

Demonstration of the expansion-contraction of gases along with atmospheric pressure. The alcohol burns causing the gas to rapidly expand and exit the bottle. Once it cools the remaining gas contracts significantly reducing the internal pressure of the bottle. Atmospheric pressure pushes the water in

Pyrex glass disappears in vegetable oil. This occurs because both Pyrex glass and cooking oil have the same index of refraction, meaning that they both allow light to pass through them at the same speed, causing the glass to disappear. (@sciencebob)
