Planning a fundraiser or charity gala in Downtown LA? The entertainment you choose sets the emotional temperature of the entire evening. White Rabbit delivers world-class close-up magic and mentalism that creates an atmosphere of generosity, delight, and genuine human connection — exactly the energy you need before the paddle goes up.
Downtown LA galas pull donors from the financial district, the legal community, and the arts world — people who attend fundraisers regularly and know the difference between an event that's going through the motions and one that actually moves the room. Scott has performed at charity events at venues like the Los Angeles Athletic Club where the cocktail-hour magic warmed the room in a way that made the ask land harder.
White Rabbit has also served as MC and auctioneer at fundraisers, including a record-breaking event for FosterAll. For DTLA nonprofits, having the entertainment and the emcee be the same person keeps the energy consistent and the night moving without awkward handoffs between speakers.

From black-tie fundraisers at Proper Hotel Downtown LA to intimate donor dinners at Otium, White Rabbit creates the kind of moments that loosen wallets and warm hearts across Downtown LA's most prestigious philanthropic events.
Scott can also perform a pre-auction parlor show that electrifies the room right before the live auction, creating a surge of energy that translates directly to higher bids. Every element of the performance is tailored to serve your fundraising goals.
Available for nonprofit galas, charity auctions, philanthropic dinners, and fundraising events across Downtown LA. Dates during gala season (September–December) fill early. Reach out now.
In a city where world-class entertainment is the baseline expectation, your guests have seen it all — studio premieres, private screenings, exclusive launches. That's what makes White Rabbit different: the magic is intimate, personal, and impossible to fake a reaction to, even for the most jaded LA audience.
Southern California audiences appreciate sophistication without pretension — effortless cool backed by genuine craft.
