Raymond Crowe

Raymond Crowe
Raymond Crowe, one of Australia’s most valuable exports, presents a brand of entertainment that simply cannot be duplicated. This is why literally millions of people – of all ages and from all walks of life – have gasped in wonder and amazement at his artistry. An evening with Raymond Crowe is one that will not be forgotten.

He is a dazzling original amalgam of comedy, magician and shadow artist.

Raymond Crowe’s original approach to the presentation of hand shadows resulted in a YouTube sensation, followed by appearances on talk and variety television programs around the world, culminating in a command performance for the Queen of England. (He received a standing ovation from Her Majesty)

That alone is an exceptional accomplishment, but it is only one part of what Raymond Crowe brings to an evening of theatre. His show brims to overflowing with original breathtaking illusions, audience participation, and comedic scenes that all bear the stamp of an unceasingly creative mind. More than a magic show, more than a hand shadow show, more than a pantomime show – it’s a contemporary re-imagining of these disciplines, blended into a seamless whole. It is for this reason Mr. Crowe lists his occupation as “Unusualist.”

No one has ever left a Raymond Crowe performance feeling they’ve seen “the same old thing.” People leave energized, uplifted, awed, and at times deeply moved. He can perform for ten minutes or half an hour, and the set-up requirements for what he does are minimal. He matches his performance to the venue and occasion, resulting in a personalized performance designed to meet individual needs.

Mr. Crowe’s famous signature piece “The Shadows” can be presented anywhere from a small room to the side of a skyscraper. His magical manipulation routines can be performed in a boardroom or a banquet facility; and when he borrows a man’s sports jacket, at which point it – incredibly – comes to life, gasps and laughter can be heard from an audience of ten or ten thousand.

Raymond Crowe delivers an unforgettable experience – one of imagination and charm and continues to delight millions around the world.
