Seance
Mark will custom design and act as your host
Medium for a seance entertainment. Each performance is built to invoke and
bring back from the beyond a specific spirit entity. Mark has successfully
brought back manifestations from such diverse entities as Elvis Presley,
Harry Houdini, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Bela Lugosi, Aleister
Crowley, Sharon Tate, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean and Jesse James. Clients are
encouraged to agree upon a chosen celebrity to invoke rather than a general
friend to the family or an actual deceased relative. It is to be understood
by the booking agency or client that each seance is performed for
entertainment purposes only and Mr. Edward does not imply, include or
guarantee that any supernatural elementals or actual spirit appearances or
guidance will occur. But who knows? It is imperative that each seance party
takes the time to choose a particular spirit with which they wish to
commune, otherwise there is no focus or center of attention with which The
Medium may prepare a script in advance of or be ready to create a believable
performance about. Mark's goal is total believability, not hokum. If your
group contains those who may be faint hearted, please hire another of his
show packages instead! Mark will have each host or hostess sign a specially
prepared Seance Waiver Form that covers the host and Medium from any and all
damages, mental or physical, that might transpire during his seance well in
advance of his actual performance. Prices are variable depending on whether
The Medium will arrive as a single unit and depart in a portable
self-contained fashion or whether the room or site selected for the seance
will need alterations or special set-up. With over fifteen years of
experience in this unique ability, rest assured that your seance will be
delivered with the highest level of integrity and with the style and good
taste your most discriminating guests would expect.
"Mark Edward gave us one
of the most incredible entertainment experiences we have ever had at any of
our events. With class and style, he provided us with a truly memorable
evening."

Taylor, Walt Disney Imagineering

Strolling Close-up Magic
Mark's
experience with Street Magic, working totally surrounded and entertaining
crowds using strolling close-up sleight-of-hand magic performed with cards,

Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. There he performed six half-hour
shows per day for two years. Through his twenty-five years of working every
room at Hollywood's Magic Castle, including Master of Ceremonies in their
Palace of Mystery theater, he has amassed more than enough polished material

and adults beginning and advanced magic classes. Prices are based on hourly
increments with a minimum two hour starting rate, plus any travel necessary
or accommodations required.
