Edinburgh International Magic Festival 2018

Director of Edinburgh International Magic Festival Kevin McMahon launched the ninth Edinburgh International Magic Festival in February.

Now the magic festival returns to transform the city into a world of fantasy and illusion.

The festival begins on 11 May 2018 with a Wizard World Gathering and finishes with an incredible closing gala.

The art of magic will be fully celebrated across the week. A full list of events can be found here.

The Edinburgh International Magic Festival returns for its ninth year over a week in spring rather than in summer, running from Friday 11 May to Saturday 19 May.

The event will showcase some of the world’s most celebrated illusionists, proving that magic is an artform with the power to enchant, mystify, challenge and leave audiences speechless.
