Elijah Edwards is the real deal. People are still asking me weeks later, "How the heck did he do that?!" He struck the perfect balance between jaw dropping mind reading and complete utter laugh out loud humor, completely reading the energy of the guests. If you need a performer who shows up early, acts like a pro, and steals the show, hire him.
