Testimonials
“We were delighted that Edward was able to take part in our “Spellbound” Live Friday event. His performance was one of the highlights of the evening and was hugely popular. In fact, we had to work extra hard to ensure we didn’t overreach the capacity in the gallery where Edward performed. Edward’s show included a number of impressive illusions which perfectly encapsulated the theme of the evening and he was able to adapt brilliantly to working in very close proximity to the audience. Edward was a joy to work with. We were absolutely delighted to have him as part of our event and would not hesitate to book him again.”
“The look on people’s faces when they saw the impossible, was priceless.”
“A master of his art... the audience are genuinely stunned. The penultimate trick leaves the onstage volunteer so stunned that she has to apologise for her language before returning to her seat, clearly questioning reality and with a memento and accompanying story that I’m sure she’ll tell for years to come.”
