Edinburgh, Meet Wonder & Co. – Your First (and Only!) Magic Shop
Hi folks – It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post and that’s because i’ve been working hard on something really fun… I just did something a little bit wild: I opened a magic shop.
I’ve just opened the doors to Wonder & Co., Edinburgh’s first and only dedicated magic shop, which officially opened its doors this August. Yep, in a city filled with the Edinburgh Fringe, arts, tourism, history, ghosts, legends, and centuries-old stories, I thought it was high time we added a little bit of actual magic to the mix and give the community a place to come hang out, learn and share!
🧙♂️ Why a Magic Shop?
I’ve been obsessed with magic since I was 17 - performing tricks for my friends and family with a pack of cards and a big grin on my face. I’ve since worked as a professional magician in Scotland and internationally for over 10 years now but no matter where I went, I kept asking the same question: why doesn't Edinburgh have a magic shop?
So... I decided to make one.
🪄 What You’ll Find at Wonder & Co.
Wonder & Co. isn’t just a place to buy playing cards and vanish coins (though you can absolutely do that too). It’s a little corner of the city where curiosity is king and the impossible feels possible.
Inside, you’ll find:
Magic kits for beginners and kids
Pro-grade props and tricks
A carefully chosen library of magic books
Unusual items, oddities, and mysterious curios
A selection of puzzles and games
And a staff of actual magicians ready to demo, explain, or just show you something that’ll make your jaw drop
🎩 But Wait—There’s More!
We’re also running live demos, workshops, and special events right here in the shop. Think:
Beginner classes (even if you’ve never held a deck of cards properly)
Close-up performances and small shows
“Evenings of Enchantment” with guest magicians from near and far
Private sessions and parties, if you're planning something magical
Basically, if you've ever wanted to learn a trick or just experience a bit of wonder, we’ve got you covered.
🎉 Opening Weekend = Pure Magic
Opening weekend was bonkers in the best possible way. We had a packed house, card tricks flying, people gasping, laughing, and saying things like, "Wait—how did you DO that?" (Music to a magician’s ears, honestly.)
My personal highlight? A little girl who learned her first sponge ball routine and then proceeded to perform it for half the room. Nailed it.
