Marvellous Magicians The greatest magicians of all time! Lydia Corry For ages 7+
A vibrantly illustrated introduction to the diverse array of magicians who shaped modern magic
A great magician never reveals their secrets, but Marvellous Magicians reveals the names of eight groundbreaking illusionists who shaped modern magic. Blending biography, history and illustration, this book spotlights both famous and under-represented performers, from one of the first female magicians, Adelaide Herrmann, to 'The Handcuff King', Harry Houdini. The book examines the early history of magic, the eight magic effects on which all tricks are based, the necessary components of a magician’s toolbox, and the underrated role of the magician’s assistant. Two spectacular fold-out pages reveal the secret workings of the Automaton Chess Player and Howard Thurston’s transformation of an empty box into a world of wonders. The book’s grand finale features advice on becoming a magician, an introduction to contemporary magicians from around the world, including Australia, Japan, South Korea, China and Norway, and an exploration of the hidden societies who have kept the secrets of illusions closely guarded for decades.

5 THE SUN GIVES OUT TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE ENERGY THAN WE NEED
THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE exosphere
nitrogen 78%
oxygen 21 %
thermosphere Two-thirds of all the sun’s rays are absorbed by the earth and its atmosphere. The earth re-releases some of the energy as infrared rays and this creates heat. Yes, you read that right: the sun warms the earth and the earth warms the air. Some of the heat given off by the earth disappears into space, but some of it is bounced back again by gases in our atmosphere (see Fact 6). The balance between the sun’s radiation and the earth’s radiation is called the global radiation balance. It’s very important that this balance is maintained.
Chances are, you’ve never really given the sun that much thought, apart from feeling happy when it’s warm and sunny. The sun is basically an enormous power station. It gives off, or emits, as much as 8,700 times more energy to the earth than we need for the whole world to keep everything working. However, not all of the sun’s rays reach the earth’s surface. About a third are immediately reflected back into space by clouds in the air, snow, ice and water on the earth’s surface and other reflective surfaces. This reflection is called albedo (see Fact 32).

6 THE EARTH IS AN ENORMOUS GREENHOUSE You’ve probably seen greenhouses before. They’re big glass buildings in which all kinds of delicious vegetables, fruits and other plants are grown. The sun shines in through the glass and this makes everything nice and warm. Heat is trapped inside, so plants keep growing even if it’s cold outside.
THOSE ARE SOME POWERFUL RAYS! rays reflected back into space
Think of our planet as a giant greenhouse. Although it doesn’t have glass around it, it does have a lot of gases. These gases make up the earth’s atmosphere. Most of the atmosphere is made up of the gases nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). The rest (1%) is mostly argon, but there are also greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide. Around 2 to 3% of the atmosphere is water vapour, which is also a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases work like the glass of a greenhouse. In the daytime, the sun warms the outside of our planet. When the earth cools down at night, the greenhouse gases keep in the heat. They are like the roof and walls of our planet’s greenhouse. Because of them, it is nice and warm in many places on the earth and lots of things can grow and bloom there. Without greenhouse gases,

it would be a lot colder on earth – an average of -18°C instead of the average global temperature of 15°C that we have now. That’s a difference of as much as 33°C. It’s likely that life on our planet would look very different! So we need greenhouse gases to survive. But here’s the problem. If there are too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the earth keeps getting warmer. That’s not a good thing and the consequences are dangerous. The ice at the poles melts and more water flows into the oceans. Large areas of land will flood. In some places, it will be so dry that nothing can grow any more, while other places overflow. There will also be more storms and hurricanes. These effects are called climate change.

49 WALK OR CYCLE TO AVOID EMITTING CARBON DIOXIDE LAND AHOY! (I THINK)
Do you always walk or cycle? Well done! Then you’re not emitting carbon dioxide, apart from the little bit you breathe out. Most motorized transport does emit carbon dioxide, but not all the same amount. When you take the train, you emit 28 grams of CO2 per kilometre. On the bus the emission goes up to 68 grams per kilometre and on a motor scooter up to 72 grams. In a small family car you emit an average of 104 grams per kilometre, and with a large car 158 grams. Of course it depends what car you drive. Cars running on petrol, diesel or gas all
emit greenhouse gases. The more they use, the greater the emissions. Basically an electric car does not emit greenhouse gases, provided that it runs on renewable green energy such as wind or solar power. And of course a lot of carbon dioxide is emitted in the manufacture of those cars. Aircraft create a lot of emissions, about 285 grams per kilometre per passenger. There are lots of websites where you can calculate the emissions created by a journey by car, train or aeroplane. This might be a useful way to find out if you want to become a world traveller!

BONUS FACT We humans are naturally curious, and in the 15th and 16th centuries, people set out to explore the world. They wanted to know what lands lay on the other side of the great ocean. To do that they needed ships, which were made of wood. At that time there were only sailing ships, so they had to have masts. Only tall, strong trees were suitable for the purpose. Everything was fine to start with, but then people noticed that really big trees were getting harder to find. In Italy, Portugal and Spain they soon ran out of trees that were big enough. After that they had their ships built in

the colonies they had just conquered. Wood is not unlimited and we have already used a lot of it. Three quarters of China was once forested. Now there is barely 5% left. In the USA, only 7% of the virgin forest remains. More than half of the tropical rainforest has gone. It takes a long time for forests to grow back again. If we stop deforestation now, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a fifth. In the next 50 years we also need an intensive global effort to plant new trees. That will help to slow down global warming.
Over half the car journeys we make are shorter than 5 kilometres. Maybe you could see whether your school is close enough to home for you to walk or cycle there, or go by public transport.

101 NATURE IS MORE PRODUCTIVE IF YOU LEAVE IT ALONE In some parts of Africa, it’s often very hard for farmers to grow their crops. They sometimes have to sow up to four times before anything grows. That’s because there is not enough water in the soil and the wind cuts across the land like a knife, making it hard for plants to thrive.
Chernobyl
100 NATURE TAKES OVER AGAIN WHEN THERE ARE NO PEOPLE AROUND In 1986 there was a terrible disaster in Ukraine, a country in Eastern Europe. A nuclear power station reactor blew up in the town of Chernobyl. More than 100,000 people had to flee the radiation. The town had to be completely evacuated. It will still be a long time before Chernobyl is safe for people. But something extraordinary is happening. The buildings, houses and streets are being taken over by greenery. Trees are growing through the roofs of the houses. All kinds of
Wild animals have also returned. At the moment Chernobyl is home to foxes, lizards, salamanders and many different birds. Scientists visiting the site also see a lot of large mammals such as deer, eland and brown bears. There is even a herd of Przewalski’s horses, which were thought to be almost extinct in the wild. And there are a lot of wolves. They only come if there is enough prey for them to hunt. In thirty years, nature has managed to recover. The place where a town once stood has now gone back to nature. There is still radiation there, but that does not seem
Quite by accident, farmers in Niger in West Africa discovered that it was better to leave trees and bushes standing and not cut them down. They found that out by chance. Outside the farming season a lot of the young men worked in the city. When they returned the land was overgrown with trees and bushes. Some of them came back so late that they didn’t have time to clear their fields. They planted the seeds on fields where trees and bushes were still growing. To their surprise, the farmers who left the trees and bushes had better harvests than those who had cleared them. Exactly the same happened the following year. The farmers decided not to ‘empty’ their fields any more. They left the trees and bushes as they were. The trees sheltered the fields against the wind and shaded the crops growing there. The water in the ground did not evaporate as quickly and there was more left for the plants. The leaves that dropped from the trees fed the soil. The farmers have now learnt a lot more about forestry. The greening of over 5 million hectares of agricultural land in Niger only took
