“One of the most unique and fascinating shows on offer in the city, or indeed, anywhere in Scotland.”
Ryan K. Davidson is a magician from Glasgow, Scotland specialising in unique and intimate performances.
His interest in sleight-of-hand started after a chance meeting with a former hustler in Greece. After a late night in the hotel listening to tales of successful hustles and scams, the shared working of a con game with Ryan would change his life. This interest in con artists and crooked gambling cheats led to an obsession with sleight-of-hand and psychology that eventually crossed over into the performing arts.
Since deciding to perform publicly, he has been invited to perform at private and corporate events in some of the most luxurious venues throughout the UK and in Europe for high profile private and corporate clients.
As well as close-up engagements, Ryan has also written and performed several one-man shows. His debut show entitled Past Times Of The Strange sold out every show of its run in Glasgow in 2012. The follow up was the intimate theatre show An Honest Deception which premiered in Glasgow in 2014, selling out it’s run of 5 nights in less than 5 hours.
His first residency project, titled Little Mysteries, sold out a 16 month residency in a private suite in the luxurious Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow to much acclaim. Little Mysteries was extended after a successful 12 month run with the extra dates selling out in 4 minutes.
Ryan then stunned audiences with his first live theatre show DEVILRY in the West End of Glasgow in The Websters Theatre for a limited run in October 2018 before returning to The Grand Central Hotel the following year for another sold out run of Nothing To See for 28 consecutive nights.
After launching his new residency, The Wonder Room it sold out for the entire year but was cancelled weeks before the opening night due to Covid 19. Ryan returned to the Websters Theatre for two nights with a one man showThe Stranger in April 2022.
The Wonder Room relaunched in September 2023 and is currently in residence within a purpose designed close-up magic theatre inside The Grand Central Hotel with public shows every Friday evening.
Ryan currently lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland.
“Seeing him perform so close up is also something that makes this show stand out. It’s something that will stay with you for a long time.”
“a spark of genius. just incredible.”
