Die Zaubervorlesung: „Chemie am laufenden Band”︁

Every year at the start of the winter semester at the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen‐Nürnberg, the lecture „Chemical Magic Tricks”︁ is held. In time and due to generation changes, the nature of this event has changed. From a classical experimental lecture it was transformed into a multi media show, which is very popular among the public and even made its way into television. Our aim with this article is to pass our experience and further information required on to those interested to present such an advertisement event for chemistry.
