Britain's Got Talent star Ben Hart is bringing his magic show to Edinburgh's Fringe

Britain's Got Talent finalist Ben Hart will be bringing his intriguing magic show The Nutshell to Edinburgh's Festival Fringe this summer.

The magician has previously sold out stints at the festival in 2014, 2017 and 2018.

And he'll be returning to the city this August fresh from a host of appearances on the hit ITV talent show – where he finished third.

The 28-year-old impressed throughout with his clever routines and gripping storytelling.

His new show, which will run at the Gilded Balloon each day from August 8 to 26, is said to shine a light on magic, life, the universe and the darkest corners of imagination.

Hart is believed to be a member of the inner magic circle and has previously worked on British TV, writing and starring in BBC Three's Killer Magic.

This year's edition of Britain's Got Talent was won by singer and 89-year-old Chelsea pensioner Colin Thackery.
