Best magician I saw at this festival. I can't believe this is part of free fringe. I could not figure out any of the tricks at all, after his little warmup I kept getting mind blown. Stuart's showmanship is top notch, the show was just super fun. Well worth your time to see him.

Really good show, highly recommended. Talented illusionist with lots of sleight of hand and mentalist type “tricks”. No idea how he did any of this, seems a nice guy as well. Go see,

AMAZING! Incredibly high quality magic - even if you think you know how it's done, you won't be able to work it all out, or see it happening. Genuinely astonishing. This is the kind of thing you can see at the Fringe that you'd pay 10x more to see usually. And a very likeable guy too!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST-SEE!!

We didn’t know what to expect going into the show but Stuart had us on the edge of our seats from the first moment. He is incredible and we were in awe for the entirety of the show. Best Free Fringe show we watched!

The sleight of hand is simply excellent, and the 'predictions' part of the act is both impressive and beautifully presented. Practice and cheating in perfect harmony!
