Welcome to the Home page of Stone The Crow and the ‘Almost Famous’ Gary James.

Gary is a full-time professional entertainer. He is based in Edinburgh and has entertained both adults and children for over 10 years.


Gary and Stone bring fun & laughter - oh and magic too - to any occasion whether it be a Birthday Party, a Gala/Fete, a Xmas Party - in fact anywhere that people are gathered to have a good time.


Gary’s unique blend of comedy and magic has delighted children (and adults) all over Scotland. He specialises in Parent Stress-Free Birthday Parties which allows the adults to enjoy the party too. However, his entertaining range is not limited to only Birthday Parties, and he brings a touch of magic to any event, occasion or celebration.

Stage Magic

This is best suited to larger venues and audiences. This type of performance is most in demand for Galas & Fetes, at  Corporate Kids Events , and for some of the larger School Shows. - (not to mention some of the major shows for Clubs/Organisations)

Gary's  Stage  Show  is  a  great  hit  wherever  he  performs.  He  has entertained and  delighted  family  audiences  across the length and breadth of Scotland.


These family  magic  shows  are packed  full of  fun and  laughter  and  there is  plenty of  audience  participation  to  keep everyone  involved  and interested - and above all - entertained.


Gary's 'partner' Stone the Crow also stars in the Stage Shows - and he is a big favourite with both children and adults alike.

Walkabout Magic

This style of is great for informal occasions, where Gary can ‘mix & mingle’ with guests, performing Magic for them as he moves around the venue (this is also known as ‘Strolling Magic’). This is ideal for Galas & Fetes, at  Corporate Kids Events


Walkabout Magic is hugely  popular  with  both  adults  and  children alike. It  is  well suited  to  a  wide  range  of  venues  and  events:  ranging from Table Magic at TGI Fridays and The Gleneagles Hotel, to performing Walkabout Magic 'In Costume' at Musselburgh Racecourse. In addition, Gary has performed this type of magic at numerous galas/fetes and fundraisers across Scotland.  (Walkabout Magic can also be performed with ‘Big Bunny’ - where appropriate.)

Parlour-style Magic - no need for a stage.

This is most often performed for Birthday Parties, at Weddings, for Special Occasions or for entertaining members of Clubs/Organisations. (as well as many

Schools & Nurseries) This is performed without a stage, although Gary has his own PA system and backing frame.
