You've probably seen "magic sand" at
your local gift shop or magic store.
Today, I'm going to show you how it's made!
The first thing we will need is a baking pan
wrapped with tin foil so that we
don't damage it.
Be sure to wrap it around the edges to
completely protect it.
The second thing will need is some dry sand.
I got this hermit crab sand at my local
pet store for about three bucks.
And lastly the key ingredient is a
can of Scotch Gard from our home
improvement store.
Now take the sand and spread it around
evenly on your baking pan.
I like to shake the pan gently to
spread it out.
Then, spray an even coat of the Scotch Gard
over the top of the sand.
Once it is dry, use your hand and spread it
around and mix it up. We want a whole new
layer of sand to coat.
Once you've smoothed it out completely, it's time
to apply another even coat of Scotch 
Gard.
After it dries you need to repeat this
process five or six times.
And that's it! Now you have your very own
batch of magic water-proof sand to amaze
your friends with.
Try pouring some into a glass of water.  The effect
is quite cool and it really shows the
water repellent effect of Scotch Gard.
Since the sand is heavier than the
water it just clumps at the bottom of the
glass and pushes the water to the top.
Well hey!, that's it for this mini project
thanks for watching!
