Learn Magic
As a professional magician in Edinburgh, one of the things I'm often asked is, “How do you learn magic?” or “Can you teach me a trick?”
With a diploma in Training & Development and over two decades of experience in healthcare and education, I can guide you through the captivating world of card magic. Whether you're completely new to magic or have some experience, I can provide the materials and training you need to start performing in just a few days.

Enjoy performing as well as watching
If you've ever wanted to impress your friends and family with some magical skills, now's your chance to learn magic! I offer both group classes and one-to-one lessons, catering to all levels from beginners to intermediate. Why not combine the thrill of watching magic with the excitement of learning? It's a fantastic way to add something unique to any party or event. I can perform some magical feats and then teach you the secrets behind them.
I don't just hand over the tricks; I focus on the theory and mechanics, giving you a solid foundation to perform magic confidently.
Beginners Lessons
In my lessons, I teach self-working close-up card magic, some of which I perform professionally. The tricks you'll learn can be performed with a regular pack of cards and are suitable for anyone aged 7 years and above.
Each student will get a free pack of Bicycle Cards (that magicians use), my tuition and password protected videos of what I teach. For younger people (with smaller hands) I provide smaller Bicycle Cards.
Intermediate Lessons
We will have a Zoom session before the first lesson, so we can make sure the lesson meets your needs. From there, I can teach some sleight-of-hand tricks with a regular pack of cards.
Each student will get a free pack of Bicycle Cards (that magicians use), my tuition and password protected videos of what I teach.
In the lesson, you will receive
- All you need to start performing close-up card magic
- Time to practice
- A new pack of high-quality playing cards (Bicycle Cards) that magicians use
- Video instructions of what is taught, so you can practice and not worried about forgetting what you have learnt
Jim gave my 12 year old son magic lessons. He loved the lessons – Jim was patient, explained the magic very well and took him through it step by step. A great experience for him, I enjoyed it too!

I booked a two hour session with Jim to learn some close-up card tricks. This is something has interested me for many years and an opportunity not to be missed. Jim is very friendly and the ultimate professional. As a magician, he is outstanding. His teaching abilities are of a similar high standard. He is detailed, methodical and (importantly) very understanding of his pupil's shortcomings. The lesson was backed up with notes and a fabulous series of videos (one for each trick). Whether you want to learn magic or simply see it performed. I highly recommend Jim.

Had a magic lesson with Jim, which was brilliant, and very good value for money. He was very patient whilst teaching, and I left learning some excellent card tricks. Would highly recommend to anyone who has an interest in learning magic.

I was given a magic lesson with Jim as a Christmas present. One of the best hours I've ever had. I love card magic, and even though I'm not much beyond beginner level, I came away with 5 brilliant tricks which all have a “wow” factor. Hugely enjoyable. Highly recommended.
