A walking tour combined with a street magic show - tales of terror from a professional magician.

Edinburgh has a long history of witchcraft, occult sorcery, ghosts, and magic. This tour combines all of them, as we take you through cemeteries, closes and wynds of the ancient old town to discover the horrors of history and the tricksters of today.

Told through macabre stories and live magic performance, from a professional magician, in a combined walking tour and magic show.

Hear the bizarre tales of

The Century of Blood - how the witch hunts began.

The strange Wizard of the Westbow

Edinburgh’s Castle Dracula

Ghostly apparitions

The magician who died twice ... and more.

How does it work?

You need to book tickets online, there are no on-street sales. But you can book up to fifteen minutes before we depart.

The Tour is suitable for younger people, though we recommend 13 and over as long as they are with a paying adult.

Experience an ancient Graveyard, old Wynds, close-up illusions, and an experience like no other with a professional magician guide.

It's a walking tour, in Scotland, so dress accordingly!

The tour is in English, but magic can go beyond language.
