Looking for a close-up magician in Hollywood? Close-up magic is the most powerful form of entertainment because it's personal. It happens right there in your hands, inches from your face, and no amount of replaying will reveal the secret. White Rabbit brings world-class interactive magic directly to your guests, creating moments that feel like encountering real magic.
Close-up magic in Hollywood works because the audience brings something most crowds don't: genuine curiosity about how things are made. Producers, editors, writers — they watch the hands, they think about the method, they're sure they'll catch something. They never do. Scott has performed for industry crowds in the Hollywood Hills where the sharpest minds in the room spent the whole night trying to figure out one effect and couldn't get close.
The format fits Hollywood events perfectly — standing cocktail hours, house parties in the Hills, seated dinners at restaurants like Mother Wolf or Musso & Frank. Scott moves through the room performing for small groups, and the reactions carry. One table loses their mind, the next one waves him over. In a 60-minute cocktail hour, he reaches 80 to 120 guests.
