The one on one illusions at the event were amazing. Unfortunately the stage show we asked for was much shorter than what he is used to and he was confused, unfocused and ill prepared for the shorter timeline, only making it worse by saying over and over, sorry my show is usually an hour or we don’t have time for this even though he would start the trick. It was very perplexing to observe and as an audience member you couldn’t help wonder what you missed or why, Those that participated in the show had a good time, and those that saw his illusions close up enjoyed them. He is talented but we were very disappointed especially as we had an initial conversation about what we wanted to see and even supplied a timeline to him written with the information a month prior,
So glad we booked Scott for our Halloween Party. He showed up early, was very polite and engaging. His magic was awesome and he had something for everyone to enjoy. Definitely recommend!!!!
Scott was a big hit at our 50th birthday party of about 50 people. He grabbed the attention of little kids and adults alike and demonstrated jaw dropping and mind boggling tricks, If you are looking for a mentalist (not just a magician), Scott is the man. I would rehire him in a heartbeat.
The guests at our event absolutely loved his performances! Received many rave reviews and others requesting to book with him. He will not disappoint you!
I had hired Scott for a personal event. I have only positive things to say about Scott and definitely would hire him again.
He arrived early, and prepared. He was very engaging and entertaining. Many of my guests approach me afterwards and want to know how I found him. The age range of my guests was from late teens to early 60s. Scott managed to connect with them all, He had them mesmerized, and laughing with delight, in amazement. I would hire him for another personal, or professional business event.

We booked Scott for our party and he was fantastic. Arrived early, mingled with the guests and freaking them out with his close-up illusions! Then he did a great show that had viewers in turn laughing, staring wide-eyed, looking away in shock but always amazed and completely wrapped up in the show.
Scott's a great act and a great guy too.

The most frequently asked questions:
WHAT IS A MENTALIST, AND IS THIS STUFF REAL?
A Mentalist is an artist painting a memory of the paranormal and mind reading, his canvas your mind.
Some magicians pull rabbits out of hats.
Others, Paranormalists, excel beyond the traditional sleight of hand and elevate into a category of entertainment that challenges the boundaries of reality...
Scott Xavier - is one of the latter.
"I always hated the balloon clown magicians growing up," says Scott Xavier, "I like the unusual stuff that you hear about on television. The stuff that makes you uneasy and on edge. The stuff that just works even though no one knows whether it is real or not."
Scott Xavier of Plainfield, Illinois has showcased his stunts to corporate audiences all across the world. A self-described "paranormalist," Scott Xavier combines elements of psychology, illusion, and theater to create a spectacle in which the audience is his chief prop!
"I like creating an interactive environment where the freaky and strange demonstrations are happening in the audience and not to me,: says Scott, who has been performing in nightclubs, colleges, and corporate events - he is also the corporate magician for Jamba juice - for about 5 years.
His techniques range from mental guessing games and hypnosis to crowd pleasing stunts, such as psychokinetic spoon bending and mind reading.
"There's a lot of twists and curves that are for everyone when I perform," he says.
Scott Xavier's show leaves traditional magic tricks behind and focuses on more elaborate schemes of popular psychology, verbal & non-verbal communication, intuition, & the paranormal.
"It's real mind reading! I can tell by the way someone's eyes wobble or by the direction their eyes are looking whether they are lying or not," he says. "By using clues such as this - and being observant - I can create some unique psychological demonstrations of mind reading and thought transference."
He says he has spent countless hours studying psychological techniques that allow him to guide people's thoughts and be attuned to subliminal clues that might reveal what they're thinking.
"We are all 98% alike, so when we're pressed to perform under pressure, we take the same preprogrammed actions," Scott states.
For Scott Xavier, the intersection from magic and the mind has been a lifelong pursuit. he earned a degree in Criminal justice and worked for a time in the Illinois State Police crime lab. But health problems - he is a diabetic - prompted him to chase his dream of becoming a professional "mentalist".
Growing up in Chicago's south side, Scott has been attracted to magic since the day he picked up his first magic trick at age 7 in a New Orleans magic shop. But when he was a teenager, Scott says, his his relationship with occult changed.
At this point, he says, his uncanny ability to read people - he calls it the "Sherlock Holmes effect" - became much more pronounced. He noticed scuffed shoes, clothing and the occasional black eye. And noticed body language too.
"I was the weird kid, the kid who was off in the corner who didn't fit in," Scott says "I went through a lot of experiences in my life, and I could detect them in other people. I could see stuff that was happening" - a fight, a breakup or a failed test - and confront them about it."
Scott drifted from the traditional magic tricks, which he claims never to have liked very much anyway and turned to psychology text books.
AND NOW? Scott Xavier performs at colleges, fortune 500 companies, universities, festivals, cocktail receptions, charity fund raiser, television, and world wide. From sales seminars to corporate trade shows, Xavier has crafted real world mind reading skills that help top fortune 500s sell more and be at the top of the sales game using proven mind reading techniques.
Scott also is the house mentalist at the world famous safe-house restaurant and magic bar in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
