Definitely a must see show (fantastic) highly recommended it's very close up magic and I am the kind of person who can normally spot the tricks and how they work but his movements with his slight of hand makes it a truly magical experience 10/10

My 16yr old daughter and I had a wonderful time at the magic show. I gasped a few times and could not figure out how Billy did it. The tricks were varied and kept us guessing. There was also audience participation and everyone was laughing often. Thanks for a great evening Billy!

My husband is a fan of magic and I bought this for his birthday, reading the reviews I was optimistic but never thought it would be that good! IT WAS AMAZING! I spent most of the night with my jaw dropped and the time just flew in! 100% recommend!

A fantastic and mesmerising show. Billy Reid told great stories whilst conducting his close up magic. The humour of his storytelling added to the smooth magical tricks which were amazing and worthy of large stage or TV. I would definitely go again and would recommend any one to go along and watch.

This is such an amazing show, I've been several times and would go again! I'm pretty sure this is the only magic show I've seen that's just as much fun on the rewatch. It's very Scottish in a way that's both great for those who live here and also for tourists looking to get some local flavour. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

This was such a fun evening. We went as a family of 3, so nice to be able to go on a night out with our teenage daughter. Billy is really brilliant, so clever and talented and very funny. The show is so slick. Absolutely loved it.

My partner and I went to see Billy’s show last night and we left in total awe! A truly fab show, in an intimate setting with plenty comedy and laughs along the way. A lovely evening and a great experience. I would recommend to anyone!

Truly amazing show, with touches of humor making this a memorable evening in Glasgow. We were the only tourists from the US attending, and all the other locals who had attended several previous shows sang Billy’s praises. And they were totally correct. He’s extremely talented.
