In a young boy's dream world anything can happen--even magic. What magic is there in the child's world of fantasy? What magic is there in everyday things such as electricity and magnetism? Students of intermediate grades will want to discuss the scientific principles behind the impossible events and try their own "magic tricks" while younger children can make hypotheses about why some events cannot really happen. Film without words.
