YOUR PEOPLE • YOUR OCCASION • YOUR EXPERIENCE
The Audience Is The Experience™
Elijah Edwards creates cinematic audience experiences that blur the
line between psychology, participation, comedy and the impossible—
where audiences do not simply witness extraordinary moments; they
help create them.
A colleague’s unexpected reaction. A choice nobody saw coming.
The moment a room full of strangers begins laughing together.
These human details give live entertainment its personality and
make the experience belong to the people inside it.
Elijah works with planners to shape the tone, pacing and
participation around the audience, venue and reason everyone is
gathering. Proven theatrical foundations support the experience;
your people give it its identity.
Real people. Spontaneous laughter. Genuine astonishment.
As close to real magic as live entertainment gets.

“Elijah did an outstanding job entertaining our team during our
company dinner. He is incredibly funny, engaging, and knows exactly
how to involve the audience. Our group laughed nonstop and really
bonded… It was a unique, interactive experience that had everyone
talking long after the show ended. If you're looking for a memorable
and entertaining way to bring a group together, I highly recommend
Elijah. He made our evening unforgettable!”

“I’ve worked with other comedy hypnotists in the past, and he was
the best! We had a smaller crowd on our Friday show and Elijah was
masterful. He was uber-professional, unflappable and great to work
with. Run—don’t walk—to book him for your club or event!”
