Magic
Magic Gareth: Level Up!
★★★☆☆ Goofy
Magic Gareth – Level Up!, the family show at the Pleasance from Edinburgh-based Magic Gareth, is a fun and accessible collection of tricks and humour.
Edinburgh Magic
★★★★☆ Rosy
Close up and intimate, Kevin Quantum’s latest show, Edinburgh Magic, makes best use of the Versailles Suite of the Caledonian Hotel – or Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh as we are now supposed to call it.
Derren Brown: Showman
★★★★★ Personal
Derren Brown is at the Playhouse all week with Showman, his first new show for six years and, without doubt, a different show to the one he might have been planning on staging before Covid.

Kevin Quantum: Anti-Gravity
★★★★☆ Thrilling:
Magician-scientist hybrid Kevin Quantum brings a show that truly seems to defy gravity to the Debating Hall of the Gilded Balloon Teviot.
Morgan & West: A (sort of) Christmas Carol Magic Show
★★★☆☆ Enjoyable:
Old-fashioned trickery and a well-known story combine with humour in A (sort of) Christmas Carol Magic Show at the Spiegeltent – a seasonal offering that does not always gel but provides a great deal of entertainment.
Kevin McMahon – Quantum Magic
✭✭✭✩✩ Tricky:
Kevin McMahon entertains as a magician in his Quantum Magic at the Gilded Balloon, but ultimately there’s an sense of deception that doesn’t come from his tricks.
The Outsider
✭✭✭✩✩ Eccentric
Young critics scheme review
A humorous combination of clowning and multimedia magic makes The Outsider appeal to children and adults alike and produces a show unlike any other. This one man show is certainly a spectacle.
