World Champion of Magic and the Curator of Impossible Science, Jason Latimer Coming to Arizona Science Center this March

 

PHOENIX, AZ – March 1, 2023 – World Champion of Magic and the Curator of Impossible Science, Jason Latimer, is coming to Arizona Science Center from March 4 –19, 2023. In each show, Jason will teach guests how to make the impossible, possible!

Impossible Science LIVE’s unique blend of science and magic takes audiences on the journey of making the impossible possible through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The show is appropriate for adults and young people alike.

“We are thrilled to host Impossible Science this Spring,” said Guy Labine, Hazel A. Hare President and CEO, Arizona Science Center. “Offering fun, imaginative ways for guests to experience and engage with science is the best way to spark learning and curiosity.”

After witnessing a live magic show at the age of nine, Jason became curious about the “impossible.” He quickly gravitated to magic books, wondering, “What is possible?” and soon found himself staring at science books wondering the exact same question. Today, having mastered the worlds of science and magic, his passion for the two has led to accolades including the series champion of BBC One’s The Magicians, the recipient of Siegfried & Roy’s Masters of the Impossible Award, a judge on Syfy’s Wizard Wars with Penn & Teller, co-host of Science Channel’s series SciJinks with Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki and Mythbusters: The Search’s Tamara Robertson, as well as curator at the Fleet Science Center in San Diego, CA. By uniting his two fields of expertise, Jason has become a one-of-a-kind educator.

Jason’s daily showtimes will be 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and tickets can be purchased here.
