Author: Mark Edward
Mark Edward is a professional mentalist who specializes in magic of the mind. His book “Psychic Blues” cracked open the crystal ball on the psychic business and has been described by Mark Oppenheimer at The New York Times Review of Books: “Mr. Edward is staking his claim to belong to a very special subcategory of magicians and mediums: those who both perform their crafts and debunk them. From Harry Houdini to James (the Amazing) Randi and the duo of Penn and Teller, there is a long tradition of magicians who believe that it is their duty to inculcate skepticism in the audience.” Mark is recognized for his television work as both primary consultant and on-air performer most recently in episodes of “Weird or What?,” “Brain Games,” “Nancy Grace.” “ITV This Morning” and “Inside Edition.” In addition to working with Inside Edition’s Lisa Guerrero in 2012 to expose “Long Island Medium” Theresa Caputo, he recently completed another “Inside Edition” assigment with Guerrero on how psychics can easily convince us they are “reading minds” and be so accurate airing in April, 2016.
