This four-strong outfit - Australian master magicians Sam Hume and Justin Williams, MC Magnus 'Danger' Magnus and a pretty guy who cleared the props and flashed his arse a lot - provided great entertainment, particularly for straight women and gay men.
The show, in its fifth year in Edinburgh, had a bit of Spiegeltent feel about it, with Danger being an uber-slick compere, really turning a fantastic crowd into a fantastic audience.
The two magicians were pretty incredible: funny, sexy and with remarkable tricks and deception skills. I won't even begin to guess how they did their illusions. It just beggared belief. And it all came with nudity forfeits, allowing the eager to get a good butcher's at Sam and Justin's meat and two veg. Even Danger got naked at one point.
Sam and Justin's magic was awesome but they didn't take themselves too seriously. They were having fun, drawing on audience volunteers and rewarding them with beer vouchers. Everyone had a good time!
The venue was a big old steep lecture theatre, and as Danger said: 'You will never see so many cocks in a lecture lecture!' Or so many astounding conjuring tricks!
It's a cracker!
