A brilliant performance and great to attend tonight for the final sell out show. Confusion is an understatement! An amazing mix of magic, illusion and story telling from the heart. Still no idea how he did it, coincidences galore, a must see show when you get the chance. Would love to see it again. Best show we have seen during the 2024 Fringe.

Sean Alexander has 1 moment in time at the Edinburgh Fringe to open our minds with his magical powers and mind bending amazement and he certainly does this and more as he gets you thinking and with the crowd interaction we were also asked and without saying too much he got everything correct about things in life and special things about others that are mind bending in amazement and to say emotional but amazed and totally excited in shock were all throughout the audience happened and it is all very real so why don't you get tickets for yourself and see one of the best shows if not the best at the Fringe as we all have 1 moment in time and as a magical gift to sean a 5 star show all round recieves our 5 star rating

We entered the show as skeptics and left wondering how. Amazing variety of magic all wrapped up with great storytelling. Highly recommend attending. We left wishing we'd been picked to get involved.

A brilliant, well rounded performance of many forms of magic with a beautiful and honest narrative. Filled with jaw-dropping moments that will leave you wondering “how did he do that?!”. Charmingly led by the charismatic Sean Alexander, it is impressive, moving and a must-see this Fringe.
