The writer took a 32-month-old and a 5-year-old niece to the 2pm show, where tricks such as levitation and cloud-making were explained before being performed, followed by audience participation games and a laser show at the end. Because Magician JT calls up so many volunteers, rows 2 to 6 are the seats worth aiming for. ## Good to know - **Venue**: Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center (201 Dunsandae-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon) - **Show time**: 2pm show, doors open at 1:40pm - **Tickets**: On-site booking available - **Group discount**: 10% for 2 people, 20% for 3, 30% for 4 - **Recommended seats**: Rows 2–6 - **Audience ages**: Mostly preschool to lower elementary, plus many toddlers around 30 months - **Photo op**: Free photo with Magician JT and Toto, his assistant rabbit, after the show - **Photography**: Photos allowed throughout the show; caution advised during the laser show because the light is intense *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ## What is Magician JT's Science Lab in Daejeon? I was trying to figure out what to do with the baby on the weekend when I found out about a kids' magic show at Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center. Wait, a kids' magic show, at Pyeongsong?! And with science mixed in..!!! It sounded like it'd be packed with fun, interest, and education, so I booked right away ✨ My 32-month-old baby was coming, and so was my 5-year-old niece, who I figured would enjoy the show even more. ![Kids heading to a science magic show](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-01-ag585-966.webp) The kids got so excited once they heard we were going to see a science magic show! My niece usually doesn't like being away from her mom and dad, but I lured her with the promise of a super fun magic show and she agreed to come with us haha 😆 ![Kids heading toward Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-02-10cmh-1200.webp) ![Kids on the way to the venue](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-03-wgg6u-966.webp) It'd been forever since I'd been to Pyeongsong so I worried I wouldn't find the hall, but they had signs pointing the way the whole route, so it was easy to get there! ![Signage guiding the way to the performance hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-04-1nxre-966.webp) ![Directions to the Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center theater](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-05-sz55w-966.webp) ## Booking tickets and the best seats at Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center Magician JT's Science Lab lets you book tickets on-site! But you need to get there early to grab a good seat. Factoring in visibility too, rows 2–6 seem best! ![Ticket booth with on-site booking and seating information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-06-1r4j0-966.webp) There's a 10% discount for 2 people, 20% for 3, and 30% for 4, so it's easy to go as a whole family without worrying about cost!! ![Group discount signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-07-m7oic-966.webp) ## Ticket booth and photo zone before you go in Since it was the 2pm show and doors opened at 1:40, we took photos out front to pass the time. Turns out that after the show ends, you can get a free photo right there with Magician JT and his magic assistant rabbit Toto. Being a science magic show, the ticket booth had goods like magic wands on display, along with a picture frame that looks different depending on the angle. Both of my kids were completely fascinated by that frame. ![Magic goods and picture frame on display at the ticket booth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-08-1ro6x-966.webp) There were way more people there than I expected!! Definitely mostly preschoolers to early elementary kids, but also quite a few around my baby's age. Everyone was buzzing with excitement. ![Auditorium seats filled with the audience](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-09-emgin-966.webp) ### Quiz time before the show starts Before the show started, simple quizzes popped up on the screen to get the kids interested. They were super excited during this part too. Some of the characters were ones our kids knew, so they answered eagerly. I was worried they'd get bored sitting around before the show started, but with 'Loopy!!! Pinkfong!!!' shouting, their participation shot right up and they were already hyped before it even began 👍 ![Quiz shown on screen before the show starts](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-10-1kwtr-m-966.webp) ## How the show runs: levitation and cloud-making explained first At first, Magician JT shows off a few magic tricks, and honestly this part amazed us too. The kids were all gasping in wonder. I'd planned to put my phone away since it was a show, but they said it was fine to film freely, capturing how excited the kids were. ![Magician JT performing a magic trick](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-11-1g2qt-966.webp) Magic shows built on scientific principles run one after another — levitation, cloud-making, and more. He explains the theory simply first, then shows the trick. Some tricks, like the levitation one, involve kids or parents participating, and all the kids wanted to do it so badly haha ![Science magic trick with audience participation](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show-12-1bcac-966.webp) Even my niece, who's pretty shy, threw her hand up wanting to try haha. There was also a segment where everyone reached out to roll and hit a giant Earth-shaped, Mars-shaped ball... or balloon...? and sadly my niece didn't get a turn and cried ㅠㅠ haha. Moments like this made me realize sitting up front really is better. ### The highlights: cloud-making and the laser show The highlight of Magician JT's science magic show — cloud-making! It's a trick where hot water is poured into liquid nitrogen to create an explosive burst of vapor, and seeing it up close made it even more amazing. To wrap things up on a high note, there's a laser show at the end!! They announce that the laser light is so intense it could damage cameras. During this part, you just watch the colorful laser show. Magician JT's Science Lab was packed with things to see right to the end 👍 There are still many shows left nationwide, so if you're raising kids, I definitely recommend checking it out!! ## Remaining nationwide tour dates, as noted by the writer - October 4, 2026 — Sohakdae Hall, Busan Jeonggwan Edupark - October 10, 2026 — 2nd Floor Main Hall, Injecultural Center, Gangwon-do - November 8, 2026 — Scientree Hall, National Daegu Science Museum, Daegu - November 15, 2026 — Performance Hall, Gwangju Seo-gu Culture Center - November 22, 2026 — 4th Floor Multipurpose Hall, Namyangju Children's Vision Center - November 29, 2026 — Performance Hall, Woongsang Culture & Sports Center, Yangsan, Gyeongnam - December 20 & 27, 2026 — Performance Hall, Seoul Dream Forest Arts Center ## Where it is - Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center (평송청소년문화센터) - 201 Dunsandae-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 둔산대로 201 - 36.3658405, 127.3918406 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%89%EC%86%A1%EC%B2%AD%EC%86%8C%EB%85%84%EB%AC%B8%ED%99%94%EC%84%BC%ED%84%B0/@36.3658405,127.3918406,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gongju-quiet-trail/daejeon-pyeongsong-kids-science-magic-show/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
