Planning a fundraiser or charity gala in San Francisco? 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.
San Francisco has one of the strongest charity gala scenes in the country — old-money Pacific Heights fundraisers, tech industry philanthropic events, and nonprofit galas at iconic venues. 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.
The SF gala crowd is generous and engaged, but they've attended enough of these events to know when the entertainment is phoned in. Scott's magic provides something unexpected — personal, interactive, and genuinely surprising — that makes this year's gala the one people remember. He flies in from LA and coordinates with event teams on timing and format.

From black-tie fundraisers at Proper Hotel to intimate donor dinners at Quince, White Rabbit creates the kind of moments that loosen wallets and warm hearts across San Francisco'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 San Francisco. Dates during gala season (September–December) fill early. Reach out now.
Northern California's culture of innovation means your guests are analytical, curious, and hard to impress with surface-level entertainment. White Rabbit thrives in exactly this environment — Scott's mentalism and psychological magic challenge the sharpest minds in the room, and the reactions from tech executives who 'know there must be an explanation' are the most rewarding moments of any performance.
Bay Area audiences bring an intellectual curiosity that makes the mentalism and mind-reading portions of the performance especially electric.
Scott travels regularly from Los Angeles to the Bay Area and Northern California wine country. Travel coordination is handled seamlessly.

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."
