Watching with a first-grader and a 4-year-old, the writer went in 20 minutes early and stayed seated for 80 minutes in total, with quizzes running from the moment they entered and Toto handing out magic coupons so there was no time to get bored. Because Magician JT's Science Lab turns science keywords into magic tricks, it held both children's attention and kept the fun going. ## Good to know - **Venue**: Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center, 201 Dunsandae-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon - **Show length**: 60 minutes - **Entry**: Doors open 20 minutes before showtime (80 minutes seated in total) - **Ages of the children who watched**: First grade of elementary school, and 4 years old - **Start time**: Starts at 2:00 p.m. sharp - **Magic coupon**: Magic coupons handed out by Toto are exchanged for magic goods at the counter *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Cover image for Magician JT's Science Lab show](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-01-aq0z6-m-1200.webp) Magician JT's Science Lab is skillful enough to make even someone with no interest in magic suddenly interested. If you know, you know — JT is a famous YouTuber-magician. Because it's an interactive show, there's never a dull moment!!!! ![Stage at the magic show at Pyeongsong Youth Culture Center in Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-02-da9ay-900.webp) Today the performer poured all his energy into making sure Daejeon had a blast. He had all the classic magician tools — a magic wand, a magic picture book — and I honestly considered buying them haha. Mood matters a lot in magic... haha. ![Magic tools including a magic wand and magic picture book](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-03-gp34s-900.webp) ![Magic props on display at the venue](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-04-16qoq-900.webp) ## Can a 4-year-old sit through it? Show length and suitable ages ![View of the Science Lab venue with the 60-minute show notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-05-tf71s-900.webp) The kids I watched with were a 1st grader and a 4-year-old who's still in daycare. Magician JT's Science Lab runs for 60 minutes, and since you can enter 20 minutes before it starts, we were actually seated for 80 minutes. I wondered whether our 4-year-old would really sit still for 80 minutes. The verdict: she sat beautifully the whole time!!! ## What happens if you arrive 20 minutes before the show starts? I didn't expect it, but this magician really seems to have a knack for pulling a crowd together. ![Quiz screen shown to the audience before the show starts](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-06-7t5in-900.webp) ![Audience focused on the pre-show quiz after entering](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-07-14b9w-900.webp) Quiz after quiz keeps coming. Kids and adults alike get hyper-focused trying to answer, glued to their seats, never wanting to get up. There's zero boring waiting time from the very start. ![Stage and audience seats before the show begins](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-08-8p3uu-900.webp) ![Pre-show time filled with quizzes](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-09-1915v-900.webp) ## What happens once Magician JT's Science Lab begins? At 2:00 sharp, Magician JT's show kicks off right on time!!! ![Stage as the magic show begins right at 2 PM](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-10-18aak-900.webp) ![Magician JT appearing on stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-11-1wieh-900.webp) JT walked out to cheers from the kids. He opened with a simple yet astonishing trick that instantly locked in everyone's eyes. ![Opening greeting trick performed on stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-12-1lo5s-m-900.webp) ![Stage moment with an object-vanishing trick](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-13-1ubs9-m-900.webp) The classic magician skills — making things disappear, pulling out things you'd never expect, splitting the body apart. Honestly... even knowing it's all tricks, I love it. You get so absorbed and so curious about what happens next that there's no time to be bored!! ## Toto the sidekick appears with magic coupons When JT's sidekick Toto appears, the Science Lab really kicks into gear. ![Scene of sidekick Toto appearing during the Science Lab show](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-14-1v024-900.webp) When Toto shows up holding magic coupons, it's pandemonium. Get a coupon and you can trade it for magic goods at the counter!!! ![Kids in the audience receiving magic coupons](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-15-47o86-m-900.webp) ![Counter for exchanging magic coupons with audience members nearby](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-16-1vpn6-m-900.webp) ## Science keywords turned into magic tricks What made Magician JT's Science Lab so satisfying is that it presents a science keyword, then ties that phenomenon to a magic trick — sparking real curiosity in the kids and then actually showing them the effect! Magician JT's Science Lab isn't a one-man show. ![Interactive magic show being carried out with audience participation](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-17-n9x9q-622.webp) It's filled out by audience participation, responses, and back-and-forth conversation, which is why so many people leave satisfied. It also felt like a show people genuinely wanted to be part of. ![A child on stage participating alongside the magician](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-18-osqwu-900.webp) For the kid who gets called up on stage, it becomes an extra-special memory, and for parents who join in for their kids' sake, it's special too. When a child goes up on stage, the parent's own nervous excitement seems to transfer straight to the child, who gets just as thrilled — and honestly, that whole scene was lovely to watch. ![Parent and child joining together on stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-19-y1q75-900.webp) Every time Magician JT does something, it's total pandemonium... wow. ![Magic moment that sent the audience into cheers](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-20-8stwd-m-900.webp) ![Science magic performed with various props](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-21-2zcsl-m-900.webp) Thanks to Magician JT, who showed such a wide variety of tricks while keeping the audience engaged, our youngest watched intently the whole time without ever getting bored. ![Stage during the later part of the show with focused kids](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-22-erwi4-900.webp) ![Closing stage moment as the 60-minute show wraps up](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-23-1rzva-m-900.webp) ## What the kids took away from the 60-minute show 60 minutes is longer than you'd think, but JT's magic show made time fly by so fast it was almost a shame. Daejeon is a city of science, and this show truly suited a science city. For a show with kids, isn't the most important thing keeping both their focus and their fun going at the same time?! Magician JT's Science Lab was satisfying to the point that everything felt complete, with no gaps or shortcomings. The kids' participation rate was high, and the interested gleam in their eyes the whole way through made me glad we came to see it together. JT's magic show left behind a good message: that through science, anyone can share a magic-like experience. So we've made a promise to try the elephant-poop-making experiment we learned about in the science segment sometime soon. I'm not JT, though, so I'm not sure I can pull it off... haha. Guess I'll have to rewatch his YouTube videos. ![Commemorative moment after the Science Lab show ended](https://img.superchart.com/images/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show/magician-jt-science-lab-daejeon-show-24-1a4vj-900.webp) ## Upcoming schedule for Magician JT's Science Lab Today's show was in Daejeon, and 7 more performances are planned going forward.
