View allAbout This Event
Magic School with Gary James will take place at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on 29 December 2026. This event offers young aspiring magicians a chance to learn the secrets of magic alongside performance skills in a fun environment. The class is limited to 16 children, and prior registration is required.
Since launching in 2010, Magic School has welcomed thousands of young magicians through its doors, combining the secrets of magic with performance skills, creativity and plenty of fun. Perfect for budding magicians, curious minds, siblings and groups of friends, it’s a brilliant festive experience — and also makes a fantastic Christmas present for a young magician in your life. And this Christmas, Headmaster Gary James is back! A hugely experienced magician, teacher and inventor, Gary has performed around the world — and famously made J.K. Rowling appear at an Edinburgh book launch. Places are limited to just 16 children per class, so early booking is strongly recommended. Please note, all children must be registered for Magic School in advance. The online registration form should only be completed once tickets have been purchased. It is available here, in the ticket confirmation email and on request.
