Ray Crowe is one of Australia’s leading contemporary magicians. And his shadow puppet show has become (as I understand it) his signature closing.
The popularity of Ray Crowe amongst his peers and audience is such that he was invited to become the first ever Australian Magician to be on the now famous NBC TV Special – “Worlds Greatest Magicâ€.
The show was viewed by over 20 million people worldwide and Crowe ended up getting a standing ovation from the 3,000 magicians in attendence.

Wow.. I the baby hand was the coolest. When you’re a parent you understand - those are the moments you miss as the little ones grow
He’s amazing in the transitions though. Anyone can learn how to make a shadow puppets, but the real skill is transitioning from one to another so flawlessly.
If anyone’s seen America’s Got Talent this season there was a ventriloquist who could sing just about anything and did so with so much charisma and skill that you actually got used to the idea that the puppet was singing. I bet we’re going to be seeing a lot of his youtube coverage soon
Just googled and his name is Terry Fator, here are a few youtube links of his. One of the few acts I really thought I’d take the kids to go see
His ability to get such range with his mouth closed is just mind blowing!
Here’s a link to him doing “What a wonderful world” as well

Here’s one of him doing “Unforgettable”

The guy just rocks.. I love this stuff
Wow, you’re right, Terry Fator is pretty amazing. I’d say he deserves all the praise he was getting from the judges…

Dude! John - that was so awesome!! My daughter, Sammie, and I just LOVED it!! And that song is such a sweet song, too! Sammie says that she would give anything to be able to do that!
I’m just completely amazed!
The power went out in our house last night and when I gave my daughter the flashlight, the FIRST thing she did was try to do her own shadow puppets. She was even singing the song. I completely forgot we watched it the night before, it was adorable
wow that was amazing
