The duo had been visiting the city for a magic-themed event - and were appearing at The School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Fair City.
Excited for his visit, Herdman had said: "I am really looking forward to seeing the beautiful city of Perth.

“I love visiting Scotland to meet fans and what better location to do this than on the banks of the River Tay at such an amazing festival.”
But a local pub boss who had planned to take his daughter to the event was given a huge surprise when he discovered who the culprit behind the graffiti was.
CCTV footage showed the Potter baddie outside the pub, before he started writing on an advertising board.

But pub boss Mark O'Callaghan, 47, who lives in Perth, was able to take the incident in good humour.
He told The Scottish Sun: "I was annoyed at first - then I kind of saw the funny side of it. I didn't realise who it was that'd done it at first."
"They'd both come in for drinks and they were impeccably behaved in the pub. On Wednesday though I noticed the graffiti."
He added: "It looks like it was only Josh who was responsible for the graffiti. You can see him taking the pen out of a bag.

"Jamie was still inside the pub during the first bit of writing."
And Mark says he saw no need to take further action after he made the discovery.
He said: "It was a young lad who'd gone out and did something a bit silly.
"I think a paint pen was used for the writing. So the graffiti came off in two minutes. My daughter thought it was hilarious."
Actors Waylett and Herdman starred as villain Draco Malfoy's thug sidekicks in the Harry Potter series.
But Waylett was axed from the final two movies after he was caught in possession of cannabis.
He was later jailed for taking part in the London Riots in 2011.
