White Rabbit Experience
Golf Tournament Magic
Fills the gap between rounds and the auction — and lifts the awards dinner energy.
Trusted by World-Class Brands
White Rabbit performs close-up magic at charity golf tournaments and corporate tournaments across Southern California — clubhouse cocktail receptions, awards dinners, and on-course hospitality tents. The performance fills the natural gaps in a tournament day where guests aren't actively playing or eating, and lifts the room before the auction or awards.
Where the Magic Fits in a Tournament Day
Three highest-value placements: (1) the morning registration and breakfast, where players are gathering and waiting for tee times, (2) the post-round cocktail reception and silent auction, where attendees are mingling before the awards dinner, and (3) the awards dinner itself, where dinner-table close-up magic between courses keeps energy high. Some tournaments add a magician to a sponsored hospitality tent on the course to entertain VIP groups during their round.
Why Magic Beats a DJ at a Tournament
A close-up magician works the room one small group at a time, which is the format that matches how golf tournament guests actually socialize — small groups, mingling, conversational. A band or DJ requires a stationary audience and full attention; a magician moves through the room and creates intimate moments of impact within whatever conversation is already happening. For charity tournaments specifically, the magic creates the energy that lifts the auction without competing with the program.
On-Course Hospitality Tent Coverage
On-course hospitality tent magic is a premium add-on for sponsor tents, charity hospitality, and VIP groups. The magician rotates between tents during play, performing six- to ten-minute sets for the small group of guests stationed in each tent. This is most effective at multi-tent tournaments where sponsors are competing for guest experience, and at charity tournaments where major donors are housed in dedicated VIP areas.
The Right Audience for the Magic
The audience at a corporate or charity golf tournament is exactly the demographic White Rabbit performs for most often — adult, mixed-gender, professionally successful, often skeptical, and looking for intelligent entertainment rather than spectacle. Scott's client list (Netflix, Disney, Morgan Stanley) and Magic Castle membership pre-qualify the booking for this audience. The performance reads as a private clubhouse experience that earns conversation, not a kids'-show performance.
Booking Window for Tournament Season
Book eight to twelve weeks in advance for charity tournaments and twelve to sixteen weeks for major corporate tournaments. Spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) are peak tournament season in California, and dates fill in the order they're requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a golf tournament magician actually do during the event?
A golf tournament magician fills the natural gaps in a tournament day where guests aren't actively playing or eating. The three highest-value placements are: (1) the morning registration and breakfast, where players are gathering and waiting for tee times, (2) the post-round cocktail reception and silent auction, where attendees are mingling before the awards dinner, and (3) the awards dinner itself, where dinner-table close-up magic between courses keeps energy high. Some tournaments add a magician to a sponsored hospitality tent on the course to entertain VIP groups during their round.
Why hire a magician for a charity golf tournament instead of a band or DJ?
A close-up magician works the room one small group at a time, which is the format that matches how golf tournament guests actually socialize — small groups, mingling, conversational. A band or DJ requires a stationary audience and full attention; a magician moves through the room and creates intimate moments of impact within whatever conversation is already happening. For charity tournaments specifically, the magic creates the energy that lifts the auction without competing with the program.
How much does it cost to book a magician for a golf tournament?
Golf tournament magic at White Rabbit LA is custom-priced per tournament. The variables are hours of coverage (registration, on-course hospitality, post-round cocktail reception, awards dinner), format (close-up strolling only, or close-up plus a featured parlor set after dinner), travel, and whether on-course hospitality tents are included. Most tournament committees book the post-round cocktail reception plus dinner-table strolling as the standard package and add on-course coverage as a sponsor-level upgrade. Every quote is built on a short discovery call. Call (424) 394-1850 or request a callback through the contact page.
Can a magician perform at the on-course hospitality tents during play?
Yes. On-course hospitality tent magic is a premium add-on for sponsor tents, charity hospitality, and VIP groups. The magician rotates between tents during play, performing six- to ten-minute sets for the small group of guests stationed in each tent. This is most effective at multi-tent tournaments where sponsors are competing for guest experience, and at charity tournaments where major donors are housed in dedicated VIP areas.
Will the magic translate to a golf-and-business demographic?
Yes. The audience at a corporate or charity golf tournament is exactly the demographic White Rabbit LA performs for most often — adult, mixed-gender, professionally successful, often skeptical, and looking for intelligent entertainment rather than spectacle. Scott Syme's client list (Netflix, Disney, Morgan Stanley) and Magic Castle membership pre-qualify the booking for this audience. The performance reads as a private clubhouse experience that earns conversation, not a 'wedding magician' performance.
How far in advance should we book a tournament magician?
Book eight to twelve weeks in advance for charity tournaments and twelve to sixteen weeks for major corporate tournaments. Spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) are peak tournament season in California, and dates fill in the order they're requested.
