Grace Hatchell’s Hot Tip: How to Get Away With Cheating (Legally)
Harry Milas brings The Unfair Advantage to Edinburgh Fringe – for 30 lucky witnesses at a time.
Darling readers, gather round. I’ve just found a show so exclusive, so thrilling, and so deliciously devilish that even the ushers might need to sign an NDA.
This summer at the Edinburgh Fringe, Australia’s master of misdirection and former casino consultant Harry Milas is stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight with The Unfair Advantage – a theatrical heist, sleight-of-hand masterclass, and psychological thriller rolled into one velvet-gloved experience.
What’s It All About?
Imagine this: you’re in the Famous Spiegeltent (already iconic), it’s barely past brunch, and someone hands you a legal confidentiality contract before the magic even begins. That’s right – what you’re about to witness is that secret.
For 75 minutes, only 30 audience members at a time are treated to Harry’s world-class sleight-of-hand and psychological wizardry. He lifts the curtain on the forbidden world of card cheating, deception, and manipulation — not in theory, but in action.
Fresh off a four-month sold-out U.S. tour, Harry’s bringing his Ocean’s Eleven energy to the Fringe. Think high-stakes psychology meets jaw-dropping illusions. This isn’t your uncle’s card trick at Christmas. This is theatre reimagined as covert operation.
And yes – audiences must legally promise never to reveal what they’ve seen. Cheeky, thrilling, and oh-so-Fringe.

Grace’s Final Word:
This is not just a show, darling — it’s a secret society of spectators. If you’re looking for something truly different, fiercely exclusive, and jaw-droppingly brilliant at this year’s Fringe, then grab your ticket (before they disappear faster than an ace up a sleeve).
But remember: what happens in The Unfair Advantage… stays there. Legally.
Until next time – keep your cards close and your secrets closer.
