The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is always the highlight of my year, and in 2025, I'm bringing not one, not two, but three shows to the world’s biggest arts festival. Whether you're into fast-paced illusions, laugh-out-loud mayhem, or mind-bending mentalism, I’ve got something you’re going to love.
Here’s where you can catch me, Cameron Gibson, performing live this August at the Fringe:
🔥 1. 1 Hour Of Insane Magic
Venue: Gilded Balloon Appleton Tower - Orchard
Dates: Jul 30 - August 24
Time: 17:45
Age Guidance: 12+
Tickets: https://tickets.gildedballoon.co.uk/event/14:5544/
We’re back with our smash-hit show and it’s bigger and better than ever!
This show is an absolute blast to perform. Alongside my brilliant co-performers Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey, we pack an entire hour with high-octane magic, quick-fire comedy, and jaw-dropping stunts. It’s high-energy, interactive, and designed to make you laugh just as much as it makes you question reality. It’s one of the fastest-selling magic shows at the Fringe, so grab tickets early if you want in!
🧠2. Hypnosis: LIVE and Direct
Venue: Liquid Rooms (Warehouse)
Dates: 2 - 24 August 2025
Time: 20:45
Age Guidance: 18+
Tickets: part of PBH’s Free Fringe - Unticketed (https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/hypnosis-live-and-direct)
This is something really special (and brand new) for 2025. Hypnosis: LIVE and Direct takes things to another level - blurring the lines between suggestion, psychology, and audience participation. Every adults-only show is unique because the audience drives the experience. Whether you’re curious about the power of the mind or just want to see your mate think they're a world-famous ballet dancer, this is the one to catch.
🎠3. 1 Hour Of Insanity (Writer & Producer)
Venue: Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose (Other Yin)
Dates: Jul 30 - Aug 25
Time: 16:30
Age Guidance: 5+
Tickets: https://tickets.gildedballoon.co.uk/event/14:5882/
This year I’m also incredibly proud to be writing and producing a brand-new show: 1 Hour Of Insanity.
While I won’t be performing in this one directly, it’s very close to my heart. Expect the unexpected in this fast-paced, family-friendly whirlwind of a show that blends comedy, magic, circus and mayhem into one unforgettable hour. With a hilarious host at the helm, our cast of international performers promise high energy chaos, surreal comedy, amazing illusions and incredible acts of skill! This show has something for everyone and is the perfect pick for thrill-seekers, families, adults and young people alike.
More details and cast announcements coming soon!
✨ Come Say Hi After the Show!
If you're a magic lover, a skeptic, or someone just looking to experience something completely different, I’d love for you to stop by one (or all!) of my shows this August. The Fringe is all about sharing live experiences, and nothing beats performing for a room full of open-minded, curious, and up-for-anything people.
Feel free to stick around after the shows - I always enjoy meeting fellow magic fans, aspiring performers, or people who just want to say hi.
See you at the Fringe!
