Raymond Crowe – Unusualism 24/02/2022 – The Box – Garden of Unearthly Delights First may I boldly say that Ray is a like a modern day silent movie superstar. I feel that I have seen him in the background of a Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton film in the 1920’s or 30’s. By that I mean, Ray uses his facial expression and physical movement to punctuate and deliver so much of his show entitled, Unusualism. Raymond has spent a lifetime crafting, developing and delivering his brand of magical illusions in so many venues across the world. He was a grand finalist on Australia’s Got Talent, toured the world with The Illusionists and even performed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety performance in London. Unusualism aptly describes the man himself and all that lies beneath this quirky, smiling professional and exceptionally talented individual that gives you the same feeling you had as a child. Raymond presents a world where one is allowed to believe and relish in the universe of magic. I attended the show knowing some of the components, but was surprised to feel so captivated in the hour long performance. There were so many elements, including audience participation where young and old were treated to his masterclass in understated excellence on stage. I could regale many of the illusions, tricks and dialogue but safe to say, you should go to experience the mastery of Crowe yourself. There are no Hollywood special effects crews doing their job here, it is all Raymond. His dexterity at hand shadows is world renowned but there is so much more to the artistry of Raymond Crowe. See it and open your mind and soul to a showman that will warm your heart and send you on your way again smiling and believing…… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars Reviewer – Stephen Foenander Adelaide Review Team Book now: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/.../raymond-crowe... #ADLFringe Adelaide Fringe Unusualism - Adelaide Fringe Festival Raymond Crowe
