If you're searching for things to do in Edinburgh that go beyond the usual pubs, tours, and festivals, Mysteries at Wonder & Co. offers a rare kind of night out — a live magic show performed just a few feet away.
About "Mysteries: An Evening Of Close-Up Magic"
Every Friday and Saturday at 7pm, a small audience gathers at Wonder & Co. in Haymarket for an hour of close-up magic with professional magician Cameron Gibson. Specialising in sleight-of-hand, mind reading, and modern psychological illusions, Gibson brings years of international experience to a show that feels fast, sharp, and full of unexpected moments.
This isn't a flashy stage production. Mysteries focuses on skill, misdirection, and direct interaction — a refreshing change from big-theatre magic shows, and a perfect choice if you're looking for live magic events in Edinburgh that feel more personal.
About Wonder & Co. - Edinburgh’s Magic Shop and Parlour Venue
Wonder & Co. is Edinburgh, and in fact Scotland's only dedicated magic shop, selling professional magic supplies, books, and curiosities. Tucked away on Haymarket Terrace, its secret back room is transformed on show nights into a small parlour-style venue, seating a maximum of 20 guests. It's an environment built for close-up performance — no stage lights, no distance, just pure live magic happening right in front of your eyes!
The intimate setting makes Mysteries a standout among Edinburgh nightlife experiences, offering something much rarer and more immersive than typical evening entertainment.
Why Mysteries is One of Edinburgh’s Best Hidden Events
