‘Magical Edinburgh’ with Edinburgh Young Carers: An Exhibition of Photographic Illusions
Magical images created by young carers are on show in a special free-to-see exhibition of photographic illusions as part of Edinburgh’s 15th annual MagicFest.
About ‘Magical Edinburgh’ with Edinburgh Young Carers: An Exhibition of Photographic Illusions
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.
