A sell-out event returns with a brand new line-up!
Hidden at the end of a winding driveway, Lauriston Castle is one of Edinburgh’s best-kept secrets – a historic gem filled with rich décor, timeless tapestries… and rumours of secret chambers, clandestine laboratories, and untold mysteries.
Join three master magicians as they bring the castle’s curious past to life with jaw-dropping illusions and sleight-of-hand. From a High Court judge turned secret alchemist to a gambler on the brink of ruin – what secrets still linger in these walls?
Set within stunning grounds overlooking the River Forth, this is one of the most magical experiences at the Fringe.
Featuring astounding sleigh-of-hand artist Lewis Barlow, award-winning comedy magician Brendan Dooley and phenomenal magician-scientist Kevin Quantum.
