Magician in Edinburgh
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, an award-winning close-up magician performing at weddings, corporate events and parties across Edinburgh and central Scotland. With over 30 years' experience, I'm a former Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year winner and I've appeared on BBC One, Channel 5 and Sky.
Close-Up Magician in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is one of the UK's great events cities — a capital packed with hotels, historic buildings and festival energy — and I love performing here. I'm booked for Edinburgh weddings, corporate events, private parties and client hospitality throughout the city.
I cover the whole of Edinburgh — the Old Town, New Town, West End, Leith, Stockbridge and Morningside — as well as the surrounding Lothians and the wider central belt of Scotland. Although I'm based in England, Scotland is a regular part of my diary, and travel is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Edinburgh
Close-up magic works brilliantly at Edinburgh events because it turns the quieter moments — the drinks reception, the gap between courses, the networking hour — into the part guests remember most. All I need is a room full of people; there's no stage, no PA and no setup, just magic that happens right in your guests' hands.
Weddings in Edinburgh
Wedding magic in Edinburgh works during the drinks reception — filling the gap while the couple have their photos taken — with table magic between courses of the wedding breakfast and entertainment into the evening. From grand city-centre hotels to countryside venues in the Lothians, I tailor my performance to suit the room.
Corporate Magician Edinburgh & Scotland
Edinburgh is Scotland's business and conference hub, and I perform at corporate events here and right across the central belt — conferences, awards dinners, product launches, client hospitality and Christmas parties. If you're looking for a corporate magician in Scotland more widely, I cover both Edinburgh and Glasgow and everywhere in between.
Reliability & Professionalism
I've been a professional magician for over 29 years, with Public Liability Insurance through Equity and over 500 five-star reviews. Bookings are confirmed in writing, every detail is checked before the event, and I always arrive early and smartly presented.
