Plans for abandoned Edinburgh shop to transform into 'immersive magic experience'

An abandoned Edinburgh west end shop could become a new "immersive magic experience."

Plans have been drawn up that would see 10-14 Haymarket Terrace transformed into a new type of business offering a limited number of guests refreshments and live entertainment.

The real excitement comes in the form of the man behind the plans, Cameron Gibson. The talented performer is also a dab hand at magic, hosting events and has reportedly become one of the country's most sought after talents.

Cameron's show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe has attracted huge crowds during four consecutive years performing at the world's biggest arts festival.

According to his site, Cameron recently visited North America where he was the creative lead, consultant and head magician on Illusionarium, Toronto - The world’s first immersive magic experience; and Magic Immersive, Chicago - A magic show in 360 degrees.

It looks like the talented performer, who is based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, is looking to open a permanent business in the city centre in the shape of an "immersive magic experience."

The plans also express Cameron's desire for each show to be open to a small number of guests at a time, with refreshments and participation in a live entertainment experience also included.
