The Great Scott

Scott put on a wonderful show for our students ranging from k-​8^th grade. He had our middle schoolers really engaged, which at times can be tough for that age range. Kids and staff laughed the whole way through. A lot of our kids really enjoyed the snake trick and the coin trick. He did a lot of audience participation as well which was really fun for the kids. I would recommend Scotts show to others without any hesitation.

Highly highly recommend! Great Scott performed at my son’s 4^th birthday party and was outstanding. He kept a group of about twenty 3 – 4 year olds engaged and entertained for the entire performance. His humor appealed to kids and adults alike. And he’s very nice and personable which makes it a joy to have him at a party. I’m so glad we found him!

We had The Great Scott for my daughter’s 6^th birthday party. He was awesome! To entertain 40 kids ages 6 month to 16 years for 45 minutes is no small feat! The kids loved his tricks and we loved how interactive the show was. Would highly recommend him to others! Thanks Scott!

He’s outstanding. My daughter and I saw him at a 7-year-old’s birthday party yesterday. To be honest, before we got there I wondered how 30 kids would devastate my friends’ home. The Great Scott kept them all in rapt attention, mixing together humor, showmanship, and fun magic tricks to create a room full of laughter and wonder. The parents were universally in stitches. It was fantastic.
My daughter has been talking about magic for 24 hours straight. Her own birthday is in two weeks and I’m so tempted to scrub our original plans and hire The Great Scott instead.

We just had a surprise party for our daughter’s 5^th birthday and hired The Great Scott as the entertainment. We were a little worried about finding something that would be fun for our daughter, while keeping the attention of our 9-​year-​old and our friends’ 3-​year-​old. We had a wide range of ages and attention spans, to say the least! However, as soon as the show began, we knew we had a big hit with The Great Scott. All of the kids, and, well, the adults too, were laughing hysterically in an instant. We all went from laughing one minute to being mesmerized the next. The tricks would seem sort of simple but then there was always a head shaking twist that would confound us all. Which was great as we had a 7 year-​old skeptic in the audience that was kept in check!
The Great Scott put on a 45 minute show in which kids and adults alike were not just entertained, but were completely captivated. We all had a blast! At the conclusion of the show he made balloon figures for each of the kids which then provided round 2 of birthday party entertainment. All in all, a huge success and a super fun afternoon celebrating our daughter thanks to the talents of The Great Scott!

We hired The Great Scott to perform at the birthday party for our 4 year old and 2 year old boys. We had about 36 kids and almost as many adults at the party. Every kid and adult was laughing and fully engaged in the show! My boys had huge smiles on their faces and really enjoyed themselves! The Great Scott arrived in time and set up an adorable stage for himself in our basement. My husband and I were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the show! We would absolutely recommend The Great Scott for your child’s next birthday party!!! The show was age appropriate and the tricks were perfect for a preschool audience!

We hired The Great Scott for my 9-​year old daughter’s birthday and he was a hit! The show was a perfect length (we had a 45-​minute show that ended with my daughter suspended in mid-​air) and he was able to keep the attention of 15 girls who had a healthy amount of skepticism. He kept them in order… and entertained… in a hilarious way. Scott adds a lot of humor and his show is geared to encourage interaction/​shout-​outs with the kids… it was really fun to watch as an adult. Plus Scott is a super-​nice guy on top of it all. Extremely professional, very clear about setting expectations with us in advance, was highly communicative through email and phone. I wasn’t worried one bit leading up to the party. My daughter summed up the show in one word: «Awesome.»

The Great Scott performed at my daughter’s 5^th birthday party to about 20 children and their parents. He was the hit of the party! The kids were captivated and astounded, and everyone was cracking up. The Great Scott’s magical stylings have inspired a new generation of hopeful magicians. His short set was perfect for younger kids – not hokey at all, just a really great mix of kid humor, good storytelling, and funny asides for the grown-​ups. And of course, incredible magic! He rolls with all of the kids’ unpredictable comments, reacting perfectly to them without skipping a beat. My daughter had stage fright when she was asked to participate and The Great Scott didn’t make a big thing out of it, he kept the pace and humor of the show moving right along. I appreciated that especially.
Working with him was as easy as could be. He is communicative, professional, and shows up on time with everything he needs. Highly recommend!

Scott was a huge hit at our twins’ 7^th birthday party. Kids were literally rolling on the floor laughing. Reviews from the our two: Daughter — «He’s very good at magic and very funny and he made a lot of people laugh.» Son — «He’s the awesomest magician there is.»

GREAT JOB by Scott. He is very talented with his skills and presented me and my son with a GREAT SHOW. My son loved every second of it, he couldn’t stop talking about all the magic tricks Scott has done during the show.
Scott is very entertaining and keeps the audience in the show with good humor and great magic tricks. All the kids had fun as you can tell on their faces after the show, they couldn’t wait to talk to Scott after the show about magic tricks.
I am planing to hire Scott in the future and have been telling all my friends about him. If you want a great magic show, contact Scott, I highly recommend him. Once again great job Scott.

I could not have been more impressed with The Great Scott. He did an amazing job at our daughter’s fifth birthday party. It was a big party with over 30 children, and The Great Scott had their complete attention the entire time. His show is very creative and he knows just how to keep the kids focused and fascinated throughout the entire performance. He did some special tricks that involved my daughter that she loved (she still treasures the giant coin he gave her). After his performance, he stayed and made balloon animals/​objects until every single kid got one. As the final piece, he made a giant balloon bicycle for my daughter. She absolutely loved it.
The Great Scott isn’t the cheapest performer in town, but he’s worth every penny. If you want to your kid to have a great party that he/​she will remember (as will all their friends and parents), book The Great Scott.

Honestly, I have no point of comparison for ‘The Great Scott’ and I still give him 5 stars. I had a bit of sticker shock, but the show was well worth every penny. We hired ‘The Great Scott’ for my son’s 5^th birthday — he arrived early and set up quickly at my son’s preschool. That was 2 weeks ago and my son is still talking about him. I have never seen my boy laugh so hard.
Scott was great with the kids. Not only was he able to quickly engage and entertain them, but he also knew exactly what to say and do to ‘command the room’. Adults and kids alike enjoyed the show. My son is already asking if ‘The Great Scott’ can come to his 6^th birthday party. It’s going to be a long year.

So pleased with our choice to hire the Great Scott for our son’s 7^th birthday! Scott was completely professional, flexible, pleasant, good to work with… AND he had 20 seven year olds held at attention for his entire performance! Highly recommend for kids!

So we looked online for a magician and I really didn’t feel comfortable having someone strange at my home. Then I searched the Unilocal reviews and stumbled upon Great Scott. One word… excellent. This guy was able to take a hold of 15 obnoxious kids and not only get their attention, but keep their attention.
Kids like magic, but it’s difficult to keep the attention of 10 year olds. From beginning to end The Great Scott had everyone’s attention. He made the birthday boy feel like it was «his show» and even paid close attention to the siblings.
I always thought balloon making was childish, but The Great Scott was making them for «begging» 10-​year olds.
I recommend The Great Scott and will use him again and refer him with Great Respect!!!

The Great Scott was brilliant! We could not have been happier. He performed at my daughter’s 6^th birthday party at our home, for a group of 36 children and quite a few adults, too. The kids were rapt for an entire 45 minutes, and the adults who watched all or part of the show (maybe 20?) were laughing out loud. His tricks were terrific and his humor and rapport with the kids was the best.
He checked in by phone a few times before the party, which was great because I was nervous about space issues. He was right on time, set up and tore down quickly, was flexible with start time (a few kids were late) and an unexpected increase in the number of audience members. From the minute I contacted him, he was completely professional and very easy to work with.
I dropped my daughter off at school today and several parents reiterated how great he was and how much fun they had at a «kids’» magic show. I’m sure he’ll be hearing from some of the parents who attended. This was money much better spent than for a party at some giant corporate ball/​trampoline pit, IMO. :)
Many thanks!

I am very impressed with Scott’s professionalism. He’s so easy to laugh with! I had a roaring living room with mostly adults and the kids felt so special. From the arrival to the departure we were all smiles. Great way to throw a party for Kids or Adults!

I recently hired Scott for a a large family program at a public library — 150 kids and parents loved it! His combination of comedy and illusion had perfect appeal for the preschool through elementary school kids!

The Great Scott was fantastic. We had a group of 44 campers and he kept them entertained the entire time. He was so funny, he kept the entire group laughing, and most importantly he was interactive and incredibly entertaining.
The Great Scott was timely, and he brought all the necessary materials and equipment he needed, leaving us with the simple responsibility of merely letting him in the door. He set up very quickly, he was very efficient, and he began the show at the exact time that he has us scheduled for.
We had a group of 44 antsy children, ages 5 – 8, and he had each and every child’s eyes glued to the stage the entire time. He was comical with the children, interactive with his performance, and made the adults laugh as well. Our campers had smiles on their faces, they were shouting out and laughing the entire time, and the Great Scott kept them going and going for the entire show!
I couldnt say anything else, but that the Great Scott was excellent and we will ABSOLUTELY have him back next summer at camp. I would recommend him for any event that you need an awesome magician!

I can’t say enough about my experience with The Great Scott. Although I was not able to attend the live show personally, I was privileged to be part of a group of friends that used his show to help entertain a dear friend’s son (and their neighbors kids) who was recovering from surgery and could not get out of the house.
His generosity of time and talents to provide this much needed lift in spirits was priceless. Especially because our little circle of supporters all live outside the state and could not be there to help ourselves. Our friend tells us that he was entertaining for all ages (including the adults!), caring and very personal in his delivery.
Please consider hiring him, he is well worth the price!
Many thanks to you, The Great Scott.

After my son and i watched the great scott at a park, I decided to give him a call so he could perform at my son’s 5^th birthday party. Even knowing that we were going to get a great show, I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the money. It was worth every penny as it’ll be an unforgettable experience for all the 25 kids there, ages ranging 3 – 10.
He’s funny, entertaining and a great magician. Adults are entertained as much as kids. We created the magic theme around the party by having him, cake and even goodie bags all with magic. It was a magical birthday. Thank you Scott!
