Paranormal Illusionist: The Discoverie of Witchcraft

About Paranormal Illusionist: The Discoverie of Witchcraft

WITCHES! SINNERS! DAEMONS!

Edinburgh was ground zero for the terrifying witch trials that had a bloody grip on the people of Briton for over 100 years and this show will take you on a journey of those days through paranormal-themed magic, mind reading, occultism, and historical storytelling; revealing the truth behind the trials, from the persecuted to the deceipt and cruelty of the persecutors.

Learn about Edinburgh's role in the history of witchcraft, how what happened here so many centuries ago sent shockwaves through the World, and the influence this city had on the horrors of Salem, all wrapped up in unsettling supernatural illusions.

This show features tales of cruelty, persecution, and includes gory demonstrations of body horror. Not for the faint-hearted.

"...unique and original ...a clever and well-crafted show" - World Magic Review "Prepare to be convinced about the thin veil that separates our world from the next" - The Wee Review “★★★★★ If you want to see something truly amazing... this is the man to show you.“ – Bunbury Magazine
