As part of ‘Edinburgh 900’ celebrations, Edinburgh International Magic Festival, Edinburgh Young Carers charity and illusion expert Professor Richard Wiseman have created an innovative, exhibition of mind-bending photographs taken in locations around the city themed around Edinburgh’s magical heritage.
Join us on a journey of discovery where the old history of Edinburgh and the magic of young minds collide! Witness the magic and unlock the secrets!
Each photograph features young carers (aged 5-17) doing what they do every day of their lives – making the seemingly impossible possible. Can you figure out how they created each illusion?
Enjoy the illusions on the wall and watch the video to see behind-the-scenes and learn more about the Edinburgh Young Carers.
