The first two nights of Underground Magic in Edinburgh have officially exceeded all expectations — and if you missed them, don’t worry… this is only the beginning.
Created and hosted by myself, Cameron Gibson, and Luke Osey — two of Edinburgh’s favourite working magicians — Underground Magic was designed to do one thing: turn an ordinary midweek evening into something unforgettable. Judging by the reactions, laughter, gasps, and packed rooms from our opening shows, we’re well on the way.
If you’re looking for Edinburgh’s best midweek night out, this might just be it.
A New Kind of Live Magic Night in Edinburgh
Held at The Gilded Saloon on Lothian Street, Underground Magic is an intimate, fast-paced live magic show that blends close-up magic, mentalism, comedy, and variety — all performed inches from the audience.
Unlike traditional theatre magic, this is up-close, interactive, and unpredictable. Every show features a rotating lineup of top-tier performers, meaning no two nights are ever the same. It’s the kind of night where you come in for “something to do on a Wednesday” and leave buzzing, confused (in the best way), and already planning to come back.
World-Class Acts, Right in the City Centre
One of the things we’re most proud of is the quality of performers we’ve already had on the Underground Magic stage.
Across our first two nights, audiences have experienced incredible performances from:
Pete Heat – delivering sharp, modern magic with a killer sense of humour
Dan Bastianelli – bringing polished sleight of hand and effortless charm
Tom Brace – blending technical magic with brilliant storytelling
Tilli Gorgon – unforgettable, surreal, and completely unique
And that’s just the start.
The goal with Underground Magic is to showcase the best magicians and variety performers working today, both from Edinburgh and beyond — artists you won’t normally see this close, in this kind of setting.
Why Underground Magic Is Edinburgh’s Best Midweek Night Out
Edinburgh is full of great entertainment, but midweek options can feel limited. That’s exactly why we created Underground Magic.
Here’s what sets it apart:
✨ Midweek energy without weekend prices
✨ An intimate venue where everyone feels part of the show
✨ A rotating lineup — perfect for repeat visits
✨ Ideal for date nights, groups of friends, and locals looking for something different
Whether you’re a magic fan or someone who just wants a fun, surprising night out after work, Underground Magic hits that sweet spot between relaxed and electrifying.
What’s Next?
With more shows already on sale and an exciting lineup of performers still to come, now is the perfect time to get involved.

Final Thoughts
Luke and I created Underground Magic to give Edinburgh something genuinely special — a live magic night that feels modern, inclusive, and exciting, right in the middle of the week.
If the first two nights are anything to go by, this is quickly becoming a must-see part of Edinburgh’s nightlife. We can’t wait to welcome even more of you underground.
See you at the next show. 🪄
