He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois with a wide assortment of animals, all of whom are friendly and none of which perform magic. Beyond magic, Edd is a trained juggler and actor and has been seen on stage the Loop Theatre, the Chopin Theatre and the Side Project. His next self-produced project, a brand new full-length show called Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts, Comedy, Magic and Mayhem, runs Thursdays, at 8 pm at the Gorilla Tango Theatre in Chicago, IL from August 5 – September 2nd. “I’ve always believed in the power of magic”, Fairman said. “When its done well, good magic can change the way you look at the world. And when its done the way I do it, it can hopefully make you laugh at the world a little bit as well. Or if not, just changing the way you look at it is good too, I guess.” |
