Canterbury Magician

Mind reader and magician Edward Crawford has performed his unique contemporary style of magic in Canterbury, and all over the UK, for the last fifteen years. Edward’s success in his field has allowed him to work as a magician full time throughout the year, which has only been achieved by a handful of UK magicians. Due to his success and experience Edward has been able to expand and develop his own style of magic into something that is truly original and spectacular. Edward’s particular style of magic is distinct from traditional magic and has a fresh contemporary vibe. Mixing psychology, mind manipulation and a small amount of trickery Edward will read the minds of your guests, predict the future, and generally leave you and your guests feeling flabbergasted and astounded. If you are looking to hire a Canterbury magician and are looking for a truly unique form of entertainment then Edward’s act, both close up and on stage, could be the ideal performance for your event.

Edward works at hundreds of events every year. Whether your event is a private party, corporate event, dinner party, Christmas party, ball, banquet, charity event, or wedding, you can relax in the knowledge that Edward performs at all of these types of events on a regular basis and has a variety of different performances to suit each and every one of them. For drinks parties and dinners Edward has his close up act, ideal for informal parties and formal dinners. If you’re after the theatrics of a stage show Edward has a full cabaret show and for smaller events in smaller venues there is his parlour show, the theatrics of a stage show that can be performed in a private dining room or your own home.

Wow wow wow!!!! Thankyou so much for such amazing entertainment. So talented, professional and entertaining, everyone so impressed by the variety of tricks performed. Worked his way around so that everyone got involved and left all guests speechless, still trying to figure out how it was all done. Would highly recommend Edward. Thankyou for a fab evening.

Just to say thanks so much for Saturday evening. The guests were so impressed with your entertainment , especially the key bending. I had calls all day yesterday thanking me for booking such fab entertainment, and your name was mentioned again and again. There are a few people getting married this year, and I have already been asked for your details, so you definitely made an impression. I’m hoping to plan a Summer Ball as well , so hopefully we can have you return

BLOG ARCHIVE

The following are taken from my old website. Each blog would give a description of a recent show to give an idea of the type of events I am performing at in Canterbury. There are literally thousands of these entries. So far I’ve only managed to copy and paste a few but I’m planning on transferring the rest over the next few months. In the mean time I hope this will give an idea of a typical performance.

Wedding Magician Canterbury

Last week I was hired to perform at a wedding at Broome Park Country House, just outside of Canterbury. Generally at a wedding I will perform my close up act, mixing and mingling with guests as they drink or at their tables. The bride in this case wanted something a bit different. A show for all the guests after dinner. This was quite a small informal wedding so for this my parlour show would be ideal. The parlour show is bascially my stage show on a much smaller scale designed to be performed anywhere without the hours of set up required and the space of a full stage. Sometimes I will use microphones for this show (I have my own and PA) but in this case it wasn’t necessary.

I arrived at the venue an hour in advance to set up. First thing I always do is meet with the staff at the venue and let them know who I am and what I’ll be doing, frequently I will have spoken to them on the phone in advance. I then met with the bride and groom to let them Know I was there. A space had been left for me in the room to set up. The set up for the show takes about 30 minutes, I like to keep it to a minimum so as not to disturb guests from their meal. The show itself is about an hour long, it can be longer or shorter depending upon requirements but an hour is without a doubt the most popular length.

I always like to start a show off with an effect for all the audience, making sure to include everyone, this usually involves a psychological principal which will give me an idea of the best people to work with for the rest of the show. The main body of the show includes mind reading, predictions of peoples behaviour and ends with a special routine that includes the bride and groom, demonstrating their love for one another…..and a standing ovation. After the show I stuck around for an hour to show a few more routines, performing a few effects from my close up repertoire. I took the opportunity to try something new out, a controversial routine around the concept of healing. I was as amazed as the audience when it worked. The whole evening was a huge success. Here’s a review someone left for me on Facebook the following day:

“Absolutely amazing! I still feel completely blown away the day after Edward Crawford’s performance – Although I have been left feeling very confused (as a sceptic….previously).
On behalf of myself and all the other guests at the wedding, we couldn’t recommend Edward Crawford more. Every guest was left astounded and reeling in awe!”
