About The Program
Making Accidents Disappear is an educational and entertaining program that teaches children across America the importance of electrical safety. The 40-minute school assembly program, sponsored by the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas, uses audience participation, comedy, stories, and magic to communicate the importance of behaving safely around electricity.

Because accidents, not diseases, are the number one killer of children in America, Making Accidents Disappear is a powerful tool that helps parents, teachers, and industry combat these otherwise needless tragedies. Unlike so many other causes of childhood death, accident related death is the one that is most preventable with proper education. And, using fun magic tricks and illusions to seize the children’s attention proves the most effective method for insuring that this important message sinks in.

The goal of the Making Accidents Disappear program is to communicate to children the following themes:

1. Just like a hammer or a saw, electricity is a tool. When handled
foolishly electricity can be dangerous and even deadly.

2. Never climb trees or fly kites near power-lines.

3. Never stick anything other than a plug into an electrical outlet.

4. Never use anything electric in or around the bathtub.

5. Never touch a wire of any kind that you find on the ground when
you are playing outside. Instead, go find an adult and show it to them.

6. Don’t plug in any electric cord that has become frayed or has exposed wires.

Making Accidents Disappear has been written and produced by magician Scott Davis. The 30-year old entertainer has been performing magic professionally for over 15 years. For 4 years Davis traveled with a national touring program entitled: The Magic Is You, which taught primary and secondary school students the importance of living a drug free lifestyle. Additionally, Davis has customized his award winning magic for numerous corporations to teach their company executives, sales staff, and customers about their product line and product benefits. Currently, Davis serves on the planning committee for a grant to the National Science Foundation. This educational grant will be used study the advantages of using magic to teach science and math to school age children. He shares the panel with college professors, elementary school educators, and other educational experts.
