2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Magic meets Neuropsychology.

Journey inside some extraordinary minds. Oliver blends freaky neurological phenomena, gruesome surgery and incredible tricks in this mind-expanding, mind-blowing magic show, Live Brain Surgery.

Oliver lets the audience see the world through the eyes of people with bizarre brains. Experience what it's like to 'hear' colours, have memories disappear and lose control of their fingers. Think Being John Malkovich meets Memento and you're half way there.

After operating on the Brighton Fringe and London's Hot August Fringe, it's time for Edinburgh to go under the knife.

Oliver Meech, aka 'The Creative Conjuror', studied Psychology at Oxford University, Creativity at some of London's top ad agencies and Trickery at The Magic Circle. He fuses all three to produce a unique form of entertainment. In 2010, he unleashed two shows on the Edinburgh Fringe: Mages Thru The Ages - a whistlestop tour of magic past, present and future; and Time Warper - a time-travelling magic show.
