Edward Victor (1887 - April 17, 1964) was born Edward Neuschwander in England.

Edward was early member of the Magic Circle (which he was promoted to MIMC) and for over thirty years was president of the Merlin Magical Society.

In 1911, a trial week at St. George's Hall was extended to many months, setting the standard for his professional career. He played top variety theaters in Europe and South Africa and was often seen on television (including a "What's My Line?" appearance which he was quickly recognized).

Early in his career he also took up Shadowgraphy.
