An Edinburgh trio are set to perform at Glastonbury after forming a performance group just three years ago.
Insane Magic - made up of Cameron Gibson, Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey - built a loyal audience through their Festival Fringe performances.
Now the group are set to take their magic show to the music festival in June, describing the opportunity as 'an extremely big deal for three local friends'.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Cameron Gibson, 30, said they felt nervous for their performance but are 'confident in what they do'.
He added: "The three of us are magicians and have built up our own careers over the years. In April 2022, myself, Elliot and Luke came together to create a show as a three.
"We wrote the whole show and it went really well. We took it to the Fringe and sold out completely in 2023.

"When we went back last year, we sold out again. We got approached by Glastonbury to perform there and it's been really amazing.
"We are playing one of the biggest tents which I think holds about 2,000 people. It's really amazing that we have managed to create something different, new and exciting.
"We are still nervous about it but this is a great opportunity and we are putting ourselves out there. We work really hard and we are confident in what we do."
Glastonbury Festival takes place from Wednesday June 25 and June 29. The trio are also preparing to perform at Edinburgh Fringe once again this year.
A description of their show reads: "After complete sell-outs in 2023 and 2024, Insane Magic (Cameron Gibson, Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey) return with their biggest show yet! Fresh from a smash-hit run at the Adelaide Fringe, the trio bring a brand-new hour of mind-blowing magic, with some fan-favourite classics sprinkled into the mix."

King Charles braves rain at antiques market and fans all say same thing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info King Charles had royal fans chuckling during his recent visit to a market, where he engaged with vendors and showed a keen interest in their work. The king charmed the crowd at Old Spitalfields Market in Shoreditch, London, as he took a particular liking to one stall – even asking the trader about logistics "How do you pack it all up at the end of the day?" the monarch asked with a giggle. "[It takes] three hours, but I love it," replied the amused stall holder. The monarch went on to express his admiration upon learning that the stall was a longstanding fixture of the market, commenting: "It's a very special profession." Continuing his tour, Charles stopped at another stall, curiously asking if the vendor was there weekly before joking that her business might improve without his "interrupting".

The King's outing was captured by TikTok user and royal enthusiast, Kayden, who detailed: "King Charles met members of the local community at Old Spitalfields Market today. "The King attended 'Antiques Thursday', and he had the opportunity to speak to stallholders at SXSW London, a culture, technology and creativity festival, located on Brick Lane." Others responded warmly, with one person writing: "Long live the King, what a Gent." Another commented: "The sweetest king ever." A third individual added: "God Bless King Charles III. Always be an Inspiration to the public." Meanwhile a fourth TikTok user exclaimed: "Happy to see you your majesty. Looking amazing and gorgeous as always. God bless and protect you majesty." Additional snippets from King Charles' visit emerged via the Royal Family's official Instagram account. The post referenced the Taylor Swift song 'London Boy' with its caption: "Shoreditch in the afternoon!" It continued: "Hosted for the first time in Europe, The King has visited SXSW London, a culture, technology and creativity festival in Shoreditch, East London. Originating in Austin, Texas, the festival aims to serve as a platform to showcase the future of the creative industries, supporting emerging artists and innovative projects." Another video clip captured the king undeterred by the relentless downpour, as he warmly greeted and shook hands with the enthusiastic crowd gathered outside the market. An astonished Instagram user remarked: "Was the King seriously standing in a puddle of rain to shake hands?" before praising the 76-year-old as a "Class act!" Another exclaimed: "I don't know what I love more. The fact that he's standing in puddles outside in the rain to talk to people. Or that this is more evidence that His Majesty is a Swiftie!" A third admirer noted: "OMG - King Charles standing in water practically covering the tops of his shoes. Now that's commitment to meeting people!" Whilst a fourth person agreed: "What a great man our King is. Stood in that awful weather in a deep puddle to ensure he meets as many people as possible. Very classy."

Glastonbury organiser takes action after overcrowding complaints
Glastonbury has sold "a few thousand" fewer tickets this year to reduce overcrowding, following complaints from the previous year. The 2025 festival is sold out but will not use its full 210,000 capacity when it takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset later this month. More room has been created at the Other Stage and Shangri-La nightlife area to ease congestion. Glastonbury staff did not believe the festival suffered from overcrowding last year, despite complaints from some fans. Ticket-holders will be encouraged to use different routes, and the festival's app planner will help predict busy areas.
