Why White Rabbit
What Makes White Rabbit Different
Philadelphia's Main Line old money, Center City renaissance, and fiercely loyal community spirit create events where authenticity matters more than flash. Scott Syme has performed at The Rittenhouse Hotel overlooking Rittenhouse Square, Crystal Tea Room galas in the former Wanamaker Building, and private celebrations in Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne estates where generations of Philadelphia families host with understated elegance. His Magic Castle credentials and genuine, personal performance style match Philadelphia's preference for substance over spectacle.
The Barnes Foundation's world-class art collection and The Logan's rooftop views of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway represent Philadelphia's cultural ambition. Scott's mentalism at a Barnes Foundation benefit — revealing a collector's favorite painting before they name it, predicting a donation amount — creates the kind of intellectual, emotionally resonant moments that Philadelphia's arts community treasures. In a city that famously demands realness, White Rabbit delivers entertainment that's as genuine as a Philly cheesesteak and as refined as a Rittenhouse Square dinner.
White Rabbit LA is based in Los Angeles and travels nationwide for private events. Travel fees may apply for events in Philadelphia — contact us for a custom quote.
