Ian Saville’s Magic Show for Children aged four (or maybe three) to ten (and their grown-up friends)
Meet Reginald, the bravest piece of rope in show business. Thrill to the exploits of Rupert, the extraordinary teddy-rabbit escapologist. Join in with the collective creation of a fully working magic spell. Discover the perils of rising-finger illness. And find out, at last, what really is in Ian’s shoe.
…With his child-like imagination and intuitive rapport with the audience, Saville’s magic really captures the children, – low key, apparently simple tricks which they can’t quite get to the bottom of, and wonderful joining in.

If you’ve never seen Ian in action with an audience you’ve missed a real treat. He never fails to entertain with a show that suits all ages, and keeps you guessing at all times.
Michael Rosen, Writer, performer, broadcaster.
“Ian has a unique talent for entertaining. His humour keeps young and old captivated. Couple this with an expertise in magic that confounds the senses, and you have a performer who is unforgettable”
Mike Dalton,
Director, Pop-up theatre for children.
Some Audience reviews from Broadway Baby
Edinburgh Fringe:
We took our 4 year old son to see the show today and he LOVED it, he found it very funny and was amazed by the magic tricks. Would recommend a visit. Tanya
Our 3 yr old niece loved the show and us adults did too. Very funny guy and how he manages to deal with a group of young kids and their ‘cooperation’ in the show is just brilliant. Colin
My 3 and 5 year olds absolutely loved this show. They were so engaged and found the performance very funny. Just the right sized venue too. Well worth a visit. Catriona
