Description
Andrew is one of the best card magicians in the world. Come and see his finest material after a two-decade long obsession with performing magic only using a single deck of cards. In this intimate show, Andrew recounts how he stumbled upon the world of magic in a second-hand bookshop. He delves into the mechanics of sleight of hand, the level of discipline needed to become a card cheat, and how feigning good fortune can bring about genuine luck. 'A brilliant magician' (Derren Brown). 'A phenomenon' (David Blaine).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Fantastic card tricks, no idea how he did it. Would definitely go to see him again

This is an excellent show with brilliant magic with a single deck of playing cards. Being a magician, I like to think I know a few things about how to handle a deck of cards but Andrew folded me. Repeatedly. And I loved it.

Card skills to blow your mind. I've seen quite a bit of magic and Andrew was unusually quiet and not at all flamboyant. The level of skill, dexterity, slight of hand and sheer achievement was phenomenal. Amazed the whole audience.

Brilliant table-top card tricks from a virtuoso magician in an intimate setting. - it’s pure magic.
He deserves to play to a sell out audience, so if you don’t get a ticket this year, make sure you get one next year.
5 stars.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have never watched a card magician before and this blew my mind! Trick after trick after unexpected trick. What an incredible show.
Lance Digby 21 days ago
Amazing show. Very impressive. A magician that presents sleight of hand as an art form not magic. Highly recommend.

A really likeable guy and a card trick genius. Close-up magic that will blow your mind. What a talent! Go and watch his show...you won't regret it *****

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The word can be a little overused and perhaps hyperbolic - but this show was pure magic and displayed in the simplest form possible.
The intimacy of Pleasance's cellar venue provided a captivating environment for Andrew to talk to his audience as if we were having a chinwag down the pub, except he's blowing your mind with card tricks every step of the way.
A great addition to your EdFringe experience, even for the few that may not like Magic shows. Andrew's charm and humble nature will have you believing by the end of this hour.

Fantastic Show, incredible, literally incredible, the tricks that Andrew does. Very engaging performance and the hour just flew past. Well recommended, don’t miss out , go and see Andrew

Brilliant! Brilliant! Just Brilliant! You have to see to be astounded by the amazing things he can do with just a deck of cards! My only complaint is that the seating is very compact and did not have enough elevation so I could not really see the table 90% of the time and ended up looking at the (live) video screen, which is not something you come to see a live show for :-( 6/5 - You must see this!

Amazing and baffling card magic. Never seen anything like it. Must see.
Simon C 28 days ago
Great routine with a lot of really friendly crowd involvement. Very very pro show, with some truly insane sleight of hand, counting and memory tricks, up close and personal and still pretty impossible not to be fooled. Go see it.

Genuinely loved this show - Andrew has a very humble & personable style, and his magic is off the scale amazing. If you want to see unbelievable card magic up close book this show.

Really good show! Andrew seemed like a really nice guy, his card tricks were baffling (in a good way), and my partner and I really enjoyed watching (and participating!). A hidden gem of a show at Pleasance, well worth a watch!

We very much enjoyed it! Amazing skills, worth to see. We very much enjoyed it as most of the magic shows are full of special effects, sounds and lights effect but not so much about the skills and actual magic tricks… this one was the opposite! It was all about amazing skills, no unnecessary extra effects needed! The show has some audience participation but Andrew makes sure to make the audience feel relaxed and it felt very comfortable.

Spent 50mins sitting a couple of meters from this guy and have no idea how he did any of his tricks. Outstanding.

Enjoyably, intriguingly mind boggling. Get ready to shuffle!

We just loved this show. Very slick, very clever and entirely confusing. The close and intimate venue helped us enjoy Andrew’s show and left us in need of a “card tricks for kids” website to try and understand at least some of what we saw. Just pure fun and magic. Well done Andrew and keep up the great work

A great example of how close up card magic should be done!
Thoroughly enjoyed my time in this show, just when you thought he couldn’t make it any more difficult for himself he ups the game! Great show and works fantastically in the space!
