I will never not be amazed that this man's shows are FREE. He is a master of his craft and incredibly engaging. He's got the kind of personality that belongs on stage and who you can't look away from. I'm still left wondering how he did it and it's been a week!!

To date this has been the highlight of my Fringe this year.
I just came out of this and am incredibly impressed. I was told about David Alnwick, but this was the first time I had seen his show. Solid & inexplicable magic as well as an excellent show.

A great show that impressed everyone in our multicultural 6-person group! We discussed "how did he do it?" for days. Very talented and charismatic performer, his show was an absolute highlight!

I've watched a version of this show every Fringe since 2019. I keep going back to see the same show because David's magic still amazes me, and his sense of humour still makes me laugh. Over the years I've convinced so many people to go and watch him and every single time they've come back and told me that he blew their minds. He's a master of close contact magic, card tricks and mentalism. You will not regret taking the hour to watch this FREE, fantastic show.

Undoubtedly the best magician at the Edinburgh fringe, we have seen David perform for the last four years, and he never fails to amaze and baffle us! It is incredible that this is still available on the Free Fringe!! For those who can, please support this amazing act, so that he can continue to amaze and confuse as many people as he can!!

We had the pleasure of watching David on 7th August … absolutely blew the whole family away. A great blend of close up magic and some mentalism, all performed with finesse, showmanship and a great sense of humour. A real craftsman and a pleasure to witness. We had the experience of seeing another couple of magicians at the fringe, however David is in a different league.

He's great - one of the very best magicians on the Fringe. This is his general magic show - for the darker stuff, see his other ones.
