Here are 3 magic shows that you should see this May. There are 2 shows that are part of the Edinburgh International Magic Festival, in Edinburgh and are performed by 2 of my good friends in magic.

Billy Reid – Storyteller

Edinburgh International Magic Festival
Monday 14th May

Billy has been a good friend and colleague of mine for several years now. His sleight of hand skills are second to none. I love watching him perform and after chatting to him recently, know he has an incredible show planned. You don’t want to miss it!

“Join Billy as he shares stories from his life in magic, vividly brought to life with dazzling sleight of hand magic. Take a seat and experience Billy’s journey from impressionable young boy to a fully-fledged sleight-of-hand master as he shares with you his favourite stories, moments and tricks from a life in magic.”

Chris Cook – Control

Edinburgh International Magic Festival
Sunday 13th May
More info HERE

I saw this show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last August and it was by far, one of the most polished and professional magic shows that I saw.

Here’s a bit about the show: “Chris thought he was in control of his life. Then, on New Years Day, he crashed his car at 80mph. In that moment, it seemed like the space between life and death was decided by little more than luck.

This show challenges the audience to step outside their comfort zone and face their fears head on. This is more than just a magic show, it’s an interactive experience.”

Wheel Of Magic – (Book This Show)

Wheel Of Magic – Stage Show

In 2017, Elliot created and starred in the stage show ‘Wheel Of Magic’ which debuted at the Edinburgh International Magic Festival. It is an improv magic gameshow where the audience decides what happens – the structure is the first of its kind in the world.

Audience suggestions are written on the wheel, the wheel is spun, and then the magician has 10 seconds to come up with a trick relating to that word.

The show then ran for 23 nights at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where Elliot performed alongside magician Dave Reubens.

It also had a different guest magician each night and Elliot managed to secure some of the biggest magicians at the Fringe, including Aaron Calvert, Ben Hart, Chris Dugdale, and Tom Crosbie, to name a few.

The Wheel Of Magic is the perfect show for Festivals and also Student Nights (including Fresher’s Weeks).

London Show – The Secret Cellar

I’m just back from performing my own show in London at the Secret Cellar. This is an intimate venue located (you guessed it) in the cellar of a bar called Vaulty Towers. My performance consisted of a 1 hour close-up magic experience, where cards disappeared, oranges and lemons were sliced open, 50 Shades Of Grey was read, and a finalé that looked like a camera trick.

I had a great time performing my 6 shows to sell out audiences. I’m looking forward to bringing the show back to Edinburgh soon.

Scottish Magician Of The Year

I’ve just got back to Edinburgh from a great weekend at the Scottish Association Of Magical Societies (SAMS) Convention in Montrose.

I am delighted to announce that I won the Harold Macmillan Shield for 1st place in the Stage Competition and also the Stuart Leith Shield for 2nd place in the close-up competition!

All competitors were great and it was a tight competition. I was very happy with my performances and also the tricks that I performed as most of them were original effects that I had created myself.
