As part of ‘Edinburgh 900’ celebrations, Edinburgh Young Carers charity, Edinburgh International Magic  Festival, and illusion expert Professor Richard Wiseman have created an innovative, exhibition of mind-bending photographs taken in locations around the city themed around Edinburgh’s magical heritage.

Join us on a journey of discovery where the old history of Edinburgh and the magic of young minds collide! Witness the magic and unlock the secrets!

Each photograph features young carers (aged 5-17) doing what they do every day of their lives – making the seemingly impossible possible. Can you figure out how they created each illusion?

Enjoy the illusions on the wall and watch the video to see behind-the-scenes and learn more about the Edinburgh Young Carers.

Edinburgh Young Carers

Edinburgh Young Carers logo
Edinburgh Young Carers is a voluntary organisation that provides respite and support to young people living in North and South-East Edinburgh, between the ages of 5 and 25, who care for somebody at home. We aim to improve the lives and wellbeing of young carers by raising awareness, offering emotional and practical support and by giving each young person the opportunity to take a break from their caring role and have fun in a friendly, supportive environment where they can be themselves and leave worries behind.

What we do:
*Young Carer Groups
*Organised activities, discussions, support and a chance to meet other young carers and have fun
*Young Carer Individual Support
*One to one time with a worker
*Residentials & Day Trips
*Time-out from home. A chance to try new things and have fun
