Edward Crawford	www.edwardcrawford.co.uk info@edwardcrawford.co.uk
Edward Crawford Magician & Mind Reader has been performing his unique style of illusion for over 15 years and has captivated audiences throughout the world. Those who have witnessed his stage show or close up at parties and corporate events have never failed to be astounded by the experience. Edward's act is perfect for corporate events, banquets, dinners, balls, private parties and weddings and offers your guests a truly unique and memorable experience. Whether you require a Magician for a close up performance at a dinner or drinks reception or a cabaret /stage show Edward will tailor his act to suit your requirements. Edward's style of magic is known by the esoteric term of mentalism. Best described as magic of the mind, Edward will stun your guests with a grown up style of magic that will leave even the most cynical with a sense of wonder. Both close up and on stage Edward will demonstrate the ability to read thoughts, make impossible predictions and move objects with his mind that will give your guests a genuinely spectacular and unforgettable experience. Edward's act specialises in demonstrating the amazing power of the human thought. Using influence, psychology and deception Edward will read minds, influence the present, predict the future and, on occasion, will demonstrate feats of psychokineses (moving objects with the mind). It really needs to be seen to be believed. No camera trickery, everything will be performed directly in front of you. Think of an old school friend, Edward will tell you their name and what they looked like. Draw a picture, open the envelope Edward handed you before you started to draw, it's an identical image. Take a coin out of your pocket and watch it bend! All these and more can be witnessed both on stage and in intimate close up performances. The services that Edward offers range from small and intimate close up events to performing for thousands at his stage and cabaret show. Each performance is suited to the client‚s needs and it can be assured that your guests will be amazed, amused and astonished.
