Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Jim has become an icon as resident close-up magician at the World Famous Pleasance Courtyard.  Check out this video of some of the many people he entertained in 2018

In recent years, he has put on a ticketed show at the Pleasance Courtyard in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.  ‘The Magic of Jim’ had sell-out runs in 2015 and 2016.

In 2018, Jim was specially commissioned by Edinburgh Art Festival to put on his show ‘Madness: Reality or Illusion’.  This which was a cross between a magic show and a lecture exploring what is real and not real in relation to mental health, magic and spirituality.  He would love to provide a private show of this, so please get in touch.  Check out the flyer here – CLICK HERE   Check out some photos by CLICKING HERE.
