1 Hour Of Insane Magic
After complete sell-outs in 2023 and 2024, Insane Magic (Cameron Gibson, Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey) return with their biggest show yet!
Fresh from a smash-hit run at the Adelaide Fringe, the trio bring a brand-new hour of mind-blowing magic, with some fan-favourite classics sprinkled into the mix.
Witness 'three of the best magicians in the country' (EdinburghLive.co.uk), in a show that's 'so insanely good' (WorldMagicReview.com), it has to be seen to be believed!
Dan Bastianelli: Identity
Following sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2023 and 2024, Dan Bastianelli brings a brand-new magic experience which uses sleight-of-hand, personal stories and honest deception to help explore the simple question: How can you know anything when you don't even know yourself?
'Bastianelli is a very skilled performer' **** (WorldMagicReview.com).
'Dazzling' (Edinburgh Evening News).
FAKE
It's pretty, but is it art? Magician and storyteller Chris Cook weaves a true tale of deception through the lives of an artist, an art forger and a magician.
Three men, centuries apart, connected by illusion. A story only a magician could tell about beauty, belief and the fine line between talent and trickery.
'Chris Cook regularly tests the boundaries of what can be defined as a magic show' (WorldMagicReview.com). 'An absolute master of the stage' (BroadwayBaby.com) 'Not just clever sleight of hand and surprise effects... it's also connections between people and occasionally poetry' (Scotsman).

Shakespeare: Master Of The Mind
Shakespeare's extraordinary ability to understand and articulate the diverse thoughts, emotions and experiences of his characters has imbued his words in our everyday language and imprinted his stories on our minds.

Watch in awe as two members of the audience are impossibly connected over the story of Romeo and Juliet, marvel at the power of premonition as we summon the three witches of Macbeth.
