Super excited to announce I have signed my FIRST EVER book as @garethwhiteauthor with Cranthorpe Milner!


“Gareth White grew up believing magic was real... and now he spends his days proving it! As a magician and balloonist, he has spent years creating ‘magic moments’ in living rooms, all the way up to theatres, across the UK. Based in Edinburgh, Gareth drinks a lot of coffee, keeping him on his toes and fuelling his cheeky attitude!”


Mystery at Shinglepits High is an exciting tale of friendship and courage, set in a world where nothing is as it seems. When Flick and Joey spot a poster asking for help to find a mysterious lost box, their ordinary day takes a dangerous turn, plunging them into the magical world beneath their school.

Join Flick, Joey, and a host of unforgettable characters in this magical middle-grade mystery - coming 2026!

In April 2020 he ventured into the world of ONLINE magic shows and has now performed a successful run of more than 300 virtual performances. Using the tricks and tips he learned along the way, this ‘LIVE experience' has been created with the viewer in mind.



This exciting event takes place with you, and up to 100 other screens, on the Zoom Platform.

Read some reviews of the online magic shows Magic Gareth has already performed:

👉 "He was throughly entraining for all ages, even had my husband in hysterics! Not only is his magic superb, he also engages so well with the children. My girls have talked about it all day! The perfect virtual magic party! Thank you!" NC, Edinburgh

👉"Mighty MAGICAL fun. Magic Gareth was mesmerising funny enthralling and bubbly. Just what we needed to end of school. As a set of homeschooling parents we wanted to treat our 7 year olds for the end of the maddest school year ever. Magic Gareth was exactly what we needed. He was so much fun and the classmates were engaged. Thank you so much." SP, West of Scotland

👉"It quite honestly exceeded all of our expectations. Gareth was just fantastic! A perfect amount of fun, laughter, interactivity, and of course magic! Our whole family loved every second and we have been inundated with messages from their virtual guests, young and old, all saying how much they enjoyed it!" MM, Scotland
