The Great Scott's magic tricks will AMAZE you.
Scott begins his children's shows with 30 Minutes of magic! Many of his tricks require Audience Participation, and for birthday parties, the Birthday Child becomes a Star of the Show!
To begin his show, Scott tells his audience the magic words - GREAT SCOTT! Throughout the show, Scott has the audience yell the magic words to make his magic happen.
Below are photos and descriptions of nine of the many tricks Scott performs at children's shows. Click the photos for full-size images of the tricks.
For adult shows, cocktail hours and the like, Scott performs a close-up routine consisting mainly of card tricks, coin tricks, and other effects that will Astonish You!

Ten-Foot Pole

Vanishing Ketchup
"I'd like to try a new trick today," Scott says. "I just put the Ketchup Bottle in the paper bag, snap my fingers and... no, that's not it. Wait, maybe if we all say the magic words... One, two, three!" GREAT SCOTT! "No, it didn't work... Nevermind, forget about this trick!" And with that, Scott crumples up the bag - the bottle has VANISHED!

P B & J
Back in grade school, Scott's favorite lunch was Peanut Butter and Jelly. He shows two black covers - under one is a jar of peanut butter, under the other is a jar of jelly. Scott covers them up and - GREAT SCOTT! - the jars switch places! Then Scott takes two plain slices of white bread, puts them in the Magic Lunchbag, and they become - GREAT SCOTT! - a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, ready to eat!

Appearing Boxes
Scott shows an empty paper bag. GREAT SCOTT! He pulls out a clear box that barely fits in the bag! GREAT SCOTT! He pulls out another one! GREAT SCOTT! And a third box! Stacked on top of each other, the boxes are taller than the bag from which they couldn't possibly have fit!

Hippity Hop Rabbits
Every magician needs rabbits, right? Scott displays pictures of two - black and white. He covers them and - GREAT SCOTT! - they switch places! The rabbits switch places a few times, until the magical twist ending!

Magic Hat
GREAT SCOTT! You'll laugh until you cry when you see what's hidden under the magic hat!

Lota Bowl
"Before I start every show, I like to empty this bowl... it's a superstition," Scott says, dumping all the water from a silver bowl into a bucket. A minute later: "Oops, I must have forgotten to empty the bowl!" GREAT SCOTT! Magically, the Lota Bowl has refilled and Scott empties it again into the bucket! A few minutes later: "I'm so sorry, I usually remember to empty the Lota Bowl before I begin!" GREAT SCOTT! Scott empties the bowl nearly a dozen times throughout the show!

Full Circle
Scott holds three ropes of different sizes - short, medium, and long. He snaps his fingers and - GREAT SCOTT! - the ropes become the same size! Scott takes two of the ropes and magically combines them into a single, superlong piece of rope! He takes a large red ring, examined by the audience, and threads the rope through it, tying the ends of the rope. GREAT SCOTT! Magically, the ring is freed! Then, Scott unbelievably removes the ends of the rope, leaving a circle of rope, with the ring trapped on it! Scott magically reattatches the ends of the rope, frees the ring, and - GREAT SCOTT! - restores the rope to three separate pieces, short, medium, and long!

Strat-O-Sphere
Scott introduces three balls, Red, Yellow, and Green. He places them one by one in a clear tube, but when he covers the tube - GREAT SCOTT! - the balls change places! Again, Scott places them one by one into the clear tube - Green on the bottom, Yellow in the middle, and Red on top. He covers the tube again, and - GREAT SCOTT! - Red is on the bottom, Green is in the middle, and Yellow is on top! A few seconds later, Scott makes the red ball completely disappear!
|
Traveling Blocks
An assistant from the audience guards a bag. Scott displays three blocks: Red, Green, and Blue. Scott covers the blocks, and - GREAT SCOTT! - the green block has VANISHED from in between the red and blue blocks and magically traveled across the room into the bag that Scott's helper had been guarding the entire time!
|
Magic Briefcase
"Watch carefully," Scott warns the audience at the beginning of his show, as he displays a briefcase, "because you never know when the magic is going to happen!" And with that - GREAT SCOTT! - he opens the briefcase and removes a full-size basketball!

Ring Box
An assistant from the audience holds a borrowed ring through a handkerchief. Scott hands a locked box to a spectator. GREAT SCOTT! Suddenly, the ring vanishes while the assistant holds it! When the locked box is opened by the spectator, sitting inside it is the vanished ring!
