Planning a fundraiser or charity gala in Pasadena? 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 Pasadena are serious fundraising events — old-money families, established nonprofits, and donor lists that go back decades. The entertainment needs to feel worthy of the cause and the crowd. Scott's cocktail hour magic creates the kind of emotional warmth that makes donors feel connected to each other and to the mission. By the time the ask comes, the room is already in a generous mood.
Scott has performed at fundraising events at venues throughout Pasadena, including The Langham Huntington. The format works especially well for galas: roaming magic during the reception builds energy, and if there's a live auction, the crowd is already buzzing by the time the auctioneer starts. Pasadena's philanthropic community responds well to entertainment that feels sophisticated rather than showy.

Frequently Asked Questions
"Our guests didn't just enjoy the show. They came alive. Months later, they still talk about how Scott made them feel. That's not entertainment. That's something else entirely."
