A secret theatre experience is marking a milestone after two years of weekly sell-out shows.
The Wonder Room, an immersive magic and storytelling performance, has been running every Friday since September 2023 in a hidden theatre at Glasgow’s voco Grand Central Hotel.
Created and performed by magician Ryan K Davidson, the show blends close-up magic, theatre and storytelling in an intimate setting.

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."
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.
Its secret venue allows only a limited number of guests, ensuring everyone becomes part of the experience.
The Wonder Room has quickly become one of Glasgow’s most in-demand nights out, with tickets often selling out weeks – and sometimes even months – in advance.
It is currently ranked number one in TripAdvisor’s Theatre and Concerts category for Glasgow and recently received a 2025 Travellers’ Choice Award, placing it among the top 10% of attractions worldwide.

"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."
The Wonder Room runs every Friday at 8pm and is open to guests aged 16 and over.
Tickets start at £22.50, and those wishing to attend are strongly encouraged to book in advance via The Wonder Room website.
