Google Illusionary ProductionsAbout the show
18+ Magic is a 45-minute adults-only magic and comedy show by Illusionary Productions, performed at Grand Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Created by Ivor Harden, the show features jaw-dropping illusions and graphic adult comedy delivered by a dangerously inappropriate German magician who still thinks it is 1979. Nothing is off-limits — not relationships, not religion, not the audience. The show is categorised as cabaret and variety, blending magic and comedy, and carries a strict 18+ age guidance. Audience participation is expected.
Why see this show?
If you want magic that refuses to be polite, this is it. Ivor Harden's show has a very specific tone — filthy, fearless and deliberately provocative — and it commits to that fully across 45 minutes of illusions and adult comedy.
