Description

Magician Loch David Crane portrays an exciting western character: BAFFLIN' BILL CODY. Using authentic Lakota Indian props and stories, the audience is drawn into a nostalgic representation. Volunteers help in every effect, picking cards and examining props. He uses family-clean comedy and dresses in an 1860s replica of Cody's outfit. I offer shows in 20, 30, and 45 minutes' length on stage, and can also be performed as closeup magic on an hourly basis for moving lines, buffets, and large crowds.
Retired university professor Crane can saw volunteers in half--and put them back together--during his exciting READING REWARD ASSEMBLY program for K-12 ages. This show includes half an hour historical presentation as Cody, then 15 more minutes of scary-but-safe hilarity in which I apparently Saw in Half the Principal, V-P, coach, retiring teacher, or whomever you wish to honor on stage. The reading Reward Assembly has special Magic Words: "If you read, you can succeed!" Suitable for K-12 students; ask to see school references or see me right now on YOUTUBE!
As a retired teacher he then developed a medieval character MERLIN-YE-MAGE when the cowboy was "reined in" for using abang gun and authentic Indian knife on stage. To please zero tolerance school officials the new act has no weapons, adding more spooky mind reading activiites and visible rope escapes instead. This act plays better across Europe because of their heritage of knights, castles, and chivalry.
Crane also performs as MAGIC SANTA CLAUS during November and December; he grows a real beard and performs his Magic act in character with holiday patter and themes. This character is bearded and ready to go from November through Martin Luther King day!
Loch David Crane has been an entertainer since the 1960s and for five summers he traveled and performed across Europe, donating over a dozen shows to troops and families aboard US bases. He performed in Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany (speaking German) in the country's oldest medieval town--in the town square before the night watchman's graveyard tour! Crane has donated shows to the Superbowl celebrations in San Diego 1988 and 1998, entertained athletes from the 1984 Olympic games, and in 1998 went to sea aboard the USS Kitty Hawk to Saw in Half the Executive officer. See him NOW on You Tube under his own nanme and under his unique character names as well.
