Find both magic and amazing science within the pages of Double Helix Issue 56!
This issue we’re testing the boundaries between magic and reality. We’ve got tricks to perform, a vanishing-person illusion to explore and a fidget toy to make. For a bit of fun, you can use a scientific tool to identify mythical creatures. Plus, check out the tech that’s uncovering lost cities around the world, or learn about nightmares and what we can do to stop them. And if you’re looking for something mindboggling, check out our illusion poster.
