Glasgow’s Best-Kept Secret Turns Two!

Weekly Magic Show Celebrates Anniversary with Sold-Out Success

GLASGOW, UK – One of Glasgow’s most talked-about live experiences is marking a major milestone.

The Wonder Room, an intimate evening of magic and storytelling, is celebrating its second anniversary in residence at the iconic voco Grand Central Hotel.

Since its debut in September 2023, the show has sold out every single week, earning rave five-star reviews and becoming one of the most sought-after tickets in the city. Performed in a secret, purpose-built theatre hidden within the hotel, The Wonder Room blends theatre and storytelling with world-class sleight of hand to create a truly unique experience.

Only a limited number of guests are admitted each week, ensuring everyone in the room is a participant and not merely a spectator.

With demand seeing tickets selling out weeks—or even months—in advance, The Wonder Room has quickly become a must-see attraction for both locals and visitors to the city.

Currently ranked #1 in TripAdvisor’s “Theatre & Concerts” category in Glasgow, the show recently earned a coveted Traveller’s Choice Award 2025, placing it in the top 10% of attractions worldwide.

Created and performed by renowned Glasgow magician Ryan K. Davidson, the two-hour performance takes audiences on a journey in search of “the true meaning of wonder” through a series of vignettes that connect a room full of strangers to a truly impossible finale.

Ryan said “Two years is a pretty big milestone. The reception the show has received is genuinely humbling. Selling out every week since we opened is a huge privilege and the audiences we’ve welcomed have been incredible. When I opened the show two years ago, I wanted to create something truly unique - an experience where people immerse themselves and get lost in the story and experience close-up magic in a way that’s more meaningful than just tricks.”

“It has a bit of everything in it - gasps and cheers, laughs and tears, moments of surprise and impossibility and hopefully some deeper meaning for people. I think part of the success is that people have really connected to the show’s theme and taken something from it.”

Katie Moran, Director of Operations at voco Grand Central said “We've been thrilled to play host to Ryan Davidson's award-winning The Wonder Room for two years now. Our guests delight in finding out that we have an on-site magician, and we look forward to seeing Ryan continue to evolve his spectacle within the storied walls of voco Grand Central.”

No stranger to magical guests, the hotel has welcome some of the world's most famous entertainers from Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly to The Beatles and Charlie Chaplin.

Tickets for ‘The Wonder Room’ start at £22.50 and always sell out due to limited availability and incredible demand, so those wishing to attend and experience a magical night out are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at www.thewonderroomshow.com.

About Ryan K. Davidson:

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.
