About the show
Honest Fraud is a 60-minute magic and interactive show performed by Ricardo Malerbi and Rudi Solon of Fundo Falso Company at The Dairy Room on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show presents a unique kind of game in which every player expects to be deceived — and finds joy in it. It explores the fine line between what is real and what merely appears to be, turning illusion into an act of pure honesty. A decision will feel entirely yours, until you realise it never was. The show celebrates telepathy not as mind-reading but as the art of guiding minds. Tickets are £10, and the show is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A magic show built around a genuinely interesting paradox: what if deception and honesty are the same thing? Malerbi and Solon make the audience complicit in the illusion, so the moments of revelation feel personal rather than theatrical. Thought-provoking and entertaining for ages 12 and over.
