What if magic was… dangerous?

Magic Awareness Society begins as a solemn warning — and slowly reveals itself as something far more playful, subversive, and strange.

Dark comedy. Immersive theatre. And Scotland’s top close-up magicians performing right at your table.

If you like your magic with mystery, satire, and secret rebellion — step inside.

🎟️ Final tickets → 29 & 30 Dec

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for The Secret Room. It was such a joy to return to the spectacular Lauriston Castle, where small audience groups were treated to intimate close-up magic performances.

If you missed it (or want more), there’s another chance to experience extraordinary close-up magic at MagicFest.

Step into Magic Awareness Society at the lavish Royal Scots Club — an immersive, mysterious evening of world-class close-up magic in an intimate setting.

🗝️ 2 nights only
📍 29 & 30 December

Featuring Tim Licata, Lewis Barlow, Dan Bastianelli, Elliot Bibby and Dave Reubens.

What happens inside the Society… stays inside the Society.

Magic, movement, colour — and lots of sparkle ✨
We had the most wonderful time sharing a work-in-progress of Shape Shifters during the opening weekend of MagicFest.

Created for children aged 3+ and their grown-ups, Shape Shifters is a playful journey through dance and illusion, celebrating difference, friendship, and finding the courage to be yourself.

This is just the beginning — the final production will be coming soon 💛
Huge thanks to our amazing creative team, collaborators and funders.
