Edward Crawford
Midlands Magician
Award winning magician and mind reader

If you’re looking to hire a magician in The Midlands then you’ve come to the right place. Edward has been performing his unique style of magic and mind reading throughout The Midlands, and the whole of the UK for over 15 years. He is one of the few full time professional magicians in the UK thanks to his stunning, original style that audiences never forget.
Each year Edward performs at hundreds of events throughout The Midlands and the UK including weddings, corporate events, banquets, balls, dinner parties, cocktail parties and private parties. He has a number of shows suitable for every occasion including his close up act, stage show, dinner party show, table magician act, and much more. No matter what the event, Edward will tailor his act to suit your needs.
Edward’s style of magic is a lot more than card tricks. He performs a genre of magic known as mentalism, best described as magic of the mind, or even Jedi mind tricks! This is the closest thing to real magic you will ever witness. In a typical show Edward will read thoughts that would be impossible for him to know, control the future, influence the present and at times he will demonstrate telekinesis (moving objects with his mind). No camera trickery or stooges, like you might, rightfully, suspect when you see a TV magician. All this and more will happen directly in front of you.

Best show I have ever seen or indeed booked. Edward performed at our work Christmas celebration event. It was a fantastic evening and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it… people have been talking about it for days and days following the event.

We had Edward perform at a private function last night for friends and family, I must say, just wow. I have had a chance to see mind reading and magic tricks in various bars and parties i have been to over the years and it is often hit and miss. With Edward however this was not the case and he managed to pull off and perform every trick, illusion and mind blowing performance with awe inspiring results and a coif, sophisticated and professional style. Thank you again Edward and anybody who is looking for entertainment and that something different that will leave guests talking of such a great night and/or event for decades to come, look no further!

The following articles are taken from my old blog. Each week I would write a brief description of past shows. I ended up with literally thousands of these (all rather repetitive). Here I will be adding a few relevant to the location to give an idea of some of the events I perform at each year.
On Thursday evening I found myself in the lovely city of Worcester. For some reason it’s very rare I perform here, think it’s only the second time this year. I was hired to perform at an event for Zebra Architects who were celebrating their 15th year in business. The owner of the company had seen me perform a year earlier at the builders awards in Bristol and had contacted me shortly after to perform at their event. The party was taking place in Bolero Bar and Kitchen in the centre of Worcester (very pleased they had parking directly outside, and it was free!! Major plus for Worcester). The event was a casual drinks reception for staff and clients of the company. As ever I arrived half an hour early to set up and meet with the client to discuss any last minute changes (there were none). I always like to give the guests 15 minutes to get through the door and get drinks in hand before I start performing. Throughout the evening I mixed and mingled with the guests performing for small groups at a time. Each group would take part in a routine, generally lasting about ten minutes in which I would read minds and manipulate thoughts. Here’s an example of one of my easiest to describe routines. Upon joining a group I will write something down. I will ask the group between them to choose a playing card, whatever they name I will show to have written down previously. This demonstrates influence. I will then move into a mind reading routine. I might ask someone to think of an old friend, I will then describe this person and tell them the name! I was hired for 2 hours but ended up staying about 3 as people kept asking to see more, always my favourite compliment. It was a really fun evening and I look forward to performing for them again.
Here’s a review left on facebook:
“Zebra Architects Limited had a birthday party to celebrate their 15th anniversary of business and Edward blew all of our minds and made the evening extra entertaining! He was great, very professional and friendly.Thank you once again Edward.”
