How to Do Chemical Tricks
A. T. Anderson
Lu par Kyle Van DeGlast
While a bit outdated in many of the more complex descriptions of several of the phenomena described, this book is nonetheless still fun and relevant for a person interested in basic chemistry or physics tricks, and the devices built in the book can be easily replicated with more modern materials. The book is split up into many little experiments, tricks, with an explanation on how it works, what's happening, and how to reproduce the effects at home.(summary by Kyle Van DeGlast) (1 hr 54 min)

Very Good

The Description of experiments give a Basic Understanding of both chemical and physical nature and reactions of of common atoms and Molecules. The experiments Show both usefulness of The separation and or combination and also the volatility and danger involved in Chemical/Physical reactions. The description are well done although written many years ago...it utilizes many common reactants, solvents,solutes, etc along with detailed experimental technique.

Excellent ideas, easy to do if you lived back then. Good for falling asleep, as it is read well and only some would be interested.
