Elec­tric dis­tri­b­u­tion poles don’t pop out of small suit­cas­es, unless they belong to some­one like magi­cian Scott Davis. Davis, cre­ator of the “Mak­ing Acci­dents Dis­ap­pear” elec­tri­cal safe­ty show, uses props like poles and talk­ing elec­tric switch­es to teach ele­men­tary stu­dents valu­able lessons to keep them safe around elec­tric­i­ty.

Davis brought his mag­ic act to 235 sec­ond graders at Crow­ders Creek and Cot­ton Belt ele­men­tary schools on March 19. Stu­dents were ener­getic to learn about elec­tri­cal safe­ty by par­tic­i­pat­ing in the humor­ous mag­ic show pre­sent­ed by Davis.

“We put a lot of ener­gy into edu­cat­ing the pub­lic about elec­tric­i­ty,” says Marc Howie, YEC’s vice pres­i­dent of com­mu­ni­ty devel­op­ment. “We reg­u­lar­ly offer safe­ty demon­stra­tions to stu­dents and oth­er groups through­out our ser­vice area in an effort to teach impor­tant safe­ty lessons to the par­tic­i­pants.”
