| :: | Tom Crowl was introduced to the world of show business through the medium of television. Watching Señor Wences on the old Ed Sullivan Show gave him a love for the art of ventriloquism; but when Marshall Brodien introduced the TV Magic Deck - it was the thrill of magic that started him down the entertainment path. Steve Martin and Robin Williams also inspired the young performer to develop his comedic style of performance. The summer of 1984, Tom became a full time professional magician. In 1991, he married and his wife, Dierdre, joined the show as a partner. Their quick-witted ad-libs made them a sought after act and the couple traveled the world performing for schools, colleges, fairs, festivals, promotional events and corporations. Eventually it became a family affair when their son joined the act at the age of three. After performing together for over 14 years, Dierdre decided to pursue her own career as Tom continued performing. It was during this time, his love of ventriloquism re-surfaced. Now Tom is once again bouncing jokes and witty comebacks off his performing partners. This time, however, he gets the final word even when they aren't coming from his mouth! Tom is also the author of an educational magic book “Learn Magic”. When not performing he enjoys hand carving primitive folk art. Tom’s hand carved wine barrel heads are prominently displayed in several wineries and his Santa carvings have been licensed and sold internationally. In 2006, Tom was selected as one of the top 200 American Craftsman by Early American Life Magazine. |

Thank you, thank you Tom for the wonderful time!!" Shanna B., Oxy Permian
"From the minute you book Tom, he makes it easy. He sends marvelous promotional materials that are welcomed by the local media. He arrives promptly and is very self-sufficient in terms of set-up and working with the sound and light technicians. Once the lights come up, he's got the audience in stitches. He is flexible and adjusts his material to be age appropriate for the audience. High energy would be an understatement. After the curtain comes down, he doesn't disappear. He stays to greet the audience. This is a rarity and just one of the many attributes that make working with Tom Crowl a pleasure. This guy is funny. This guy is fair. And this guy is fabulous. I can't say enough about Tom and his consistent ability to fill our house and keep the crowds wanting more. You'll be happy to have him grace your stage.
