Scott Anderson

Oregon-based illusionist Scott Anderson has spent more than 22 years shaping magical theatre drawn from his own life: grand illusions, close-up sleight of hand and quick-witted comedy, with plenty of audience participation.

The stage show combines classic and modern illusion, with people appearing from nowhere, levitating and finding themselves halved, alongside pieces inspired by Harry Houdini. Arena halftime shows play in the round, visible to everyone without the need for a big screen. Up close, cards and coins vanish in a guest's own hands and a signed dollar bill turns up inside a lime. A native Oregonian and medical evacuation pilot for the Oregon National Guard, Scott has performed across the United States, Europe and Asia, on the stages of Las Vegas and on television in Hollywood, and suits company parties, cocktail hours, fundraisers and fairs.
