Leigh Milne

Billed as Scotland's Magic Sensation, Leigh Milne treats a wedding or a children's party as less about showing off skills and more about making everyone laugh. He came to magic the long way round, after working in pubs, shops and kitchens, and that grounding shows in how easily he gets on with a room.

For grown-up audiences he performs strong mind-reading effects alongside close-up magic, reading the moment rather than running through a set routine. For younger crowds the puppets come out, and the aim is simply big smiles on little faces. It makes him a natural fit for weddings, family celebrations and kids' shows, where the magic lands hardest because the people come first.
