Planning a fundraiser or charity gala in Scottsdale? 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.
The best galas don't just raise money. They create an emotional experience that makes donors feel proud, connected, and eager to give. That's where White Rabbit comes in. During cocktail hour, Scott moves through the room performing intimate close-up magic for small groups. By the time guests sit down for dinner, the energy in the room is electric. Strangers have bonded. The mood is generous. The ask lands differently when people feel that good.
Scott is a member of the world-famous Magic Castle® in Hollywood and has performed for Netflix, Disney, Morgan Stanley, and Rolls Royce. His presence at your gala signals to donors that this is a world-class event, the kind of evening where extraordinary things happen, including extraordinary generosity.

The Southwest's resort culture creates events where guests expect a premium experience from arrival to departure. White Rabbit fills the entertainment gap that most resort events miss — the personal, interactive moments between cocktails and dinner that transform a nice evening into an unforgettable one.
Desert audiences bring a relaxed warmth that makes the interactive elements of close-up magic feel like a conversation between friends — guests lean in rather than sit back.
Scott frequently performs throughout Arizona and Nevada, with seamless travel coordination from Los Angeles.
