The Fringe is full of magic already, of course, but no harm in an extra bit of glitter chucked and/or sprinkled onto proceedings by these actual conjuring folk. As you can probably guess from the title, the Adults Only Magic Show (Assembly Hall, 30 July–24 August, 9.25pm) is on the riskier, raunchier, raucous end of the magic circle (not that circles have ends, for they are round, silly) with the gang aiming to turn the genre on its head.

With Magic Man, Tom Bolton (Gilded Balloon Appleton Tower, 18–24 August, 7pm) unleashes a theatrical whirlwind taking a journey back into the wonder of childhood. Expect Rubik’s Cubes and even a spot of levitation. Not standing on anyone’s ceremony, Andrew Frost (Pleasance Dome, 30 July–25 August, 4.30pm) has named his show The Greatest Card Magician In The World. Presumably he’s talking about himself. Derren Brown and David Blaine are fans. So you probably should be, too.
