Planning a wedding in New York and want entertainment that actually brings your guests together? White Rabbit's cocktail hour magic is the secret weapon couples wish they'd known about sooner. While your guests mingle and the champagne flows, Scott Syme creates moments of pure, joyful astonishment that turn strangers into friends before they even find their seats.
Scott performed at Cipriani 25 Broadway for a wedding cocktail hour — one of New York's most iconic venues, with a guest list that included finance executives, fashion people, and families who've been hosting events in the city for decades. The magic had to match the room, and it did. Close-up magic during a New York wedding cocktail hour works because guests are standing, mingling, and waiting — the perfect audience for two to three minutes of something impossible happening in their hands.
New York weddings operate on tight timelines and the entertainment can't slow anything down. Scott reads the coordinator's cues, works within the flow, and covers the room without needing a microphone or a stage. He's also available for rehearsal dinners, where a Private Magic Show gives the immediate family and wedding party an intimate, high-energy experience the night before. For couples booking a New York wedding, Scott flies in from LA and coordinates travel seamlessly.

The Northeast's events carry a specific sophistication: guests are discerning, attention spans are earned, and quality is assumed rather than advertised. White Rabbit thrives in exactly this environment — Scott's craft-level magic and sharp mentalism earn respect from the most discerning audiences in the country.
Northeastern audiences bring a healthy skepticism that makes the impossible moments land even harder — when a New York audience gasps, you know you've earned it.
Scott regularly travels to the Northeast corridor for private and corporate events. Direct flights from Los Angeles make coordination seamless.
