Description
Mind-reading and unbelievable trickery abound in this exploration of how autism and magic make anything possible, with rising star Angus Baskerville. Angus was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at age 15, and his school years were a struggle. But, learning and performing magic has turned his life around and his first solo show at the Fringe delves into that journey. You'll be asking yourself 'how did he do that?!' at every turn in this family-friendly show that brings the superpowers of neurodiversity to life.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.

Absolutely stunning show - 30 minutes later and we're still scratching our heads wondering how they did it.
Well worth the time and money!

Wow! What a lovely show.
Come for the mind boggling magic but stay for the heart warming story of redemption and recovery.
Angus is utterly charming as he describes his journey away from loneliness and ostracism via the medium of magic and mind reading.
It was genuinely moving to hear the story of how magic, tricks and the occasional dad joke helped Angus become the performer he now is.
We all trooped out after the finale totally dumbfounded and amazed.
A real uplifting, funny and above all life affirming treat.
Thank you Angus!!

This presentation is highly recommended. Angus has a subtle and quiet persona that immediately engages with the audience as his routine unravels. The content has much variety and would appeal to 7 year olds accompanied by their grandparents. Much laughter, disbelief and amazement was the constant reaction from the audience this afternoon. The venue itself is comfortable and well organised. Well done Angus. I hope you get the audiences you deserve for this Edinburgh production and in your future career.
