Expect to see the unexpected, from card tricks to fork bending, and everything in between. Keiron is more than just a magician, he is an artist.

We also bring you Pete Gwynne. We saw Pete at a 'Bright Club' comedy night in Edinburgh. His unique blend of science and comedy means that we had to bring him to The Trickery before he becomes huge. So get ready to let Pete make you laugh and think, mostly laugh!

Multiple award winning magician Marcus Gordon will be providing some more magical entertainment on the night. A published magician, Marcus has recently secured his very first Edinburgh fringe show, and we will be the first ones to see it.
