Planning a fundraiser or charity gala in Manhattan Beach? 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.
Charity galas in Manhattan Beach are community events — school fundraisers, local nonprofit dinners, and beach community causes that bring the neighborhood together. Scott's close-up magic during the cocktail hour gives guests something to bond over before the program begins. When people are energized and connected, they bid higher and give more freely. That's not a theory — it's what hosts tell Scott after every gala.
The format is flexible: roaming magic during cocktails, a short stage set during dinner, or both. For the Manhattan Beach gala crowd — generous, social, and used to attending these events — the magic provides something unexpected that makes this year's event stand out from last year's.

From black-tie fundraisers at Manhattan Beach Marriott to intimate donor dinners at The Strand House, White Rabbit creates the kind of moments that loosen wallets and warm hearts across Manhattan Beach'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.

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.
