The crazy science show coming to the Sunshine Coast

What do you get when you trade a microscope for mime and magic? Giant columns of elephant toothpaste, high-flying toilet paper, zooming smoke rings and the incredible magic of polymers and gigantic bubbles!

If you’re looking for something unique to do these school holidays, The Magical World of Crazy Science is coming to the Sunshine Coast. Hosted by Richard Scholes, The Magical World of Crazy Science will take place at Venue 114, Bokarina.

Scholes is an award-winning entertainer, magician, visual artist who is also a scientist and teacher. Crazy Science incorporates science, magic, comedy, mime and music to teach children about science in a fun way.

Add to this an hilarious mix of interactive comedy, a DJ spinning the music and sound effects and you have the formula for an epic and engaging science show.

Venue 114 manager Louise Thompson says The Magical World of Crazy Science is always a sell out event. It’s a popular school holiday show for all ages.

“Richard and his Crazy Science show is guaranteed to be entertaining, educational and fun,” Ms Thompson says.
