Trade Show Illusion of multiplying money

Finding blogging time....


Life is one of those things that occupies so much of my time it’s crazy. Between booking shows, contracts, and working on new effects I’m often do scattered brained I don’t have time to blog.


Now I’ve decided to find time. At the gym I have tons of time. I hate the tread mill but it’s a necessity to get my mma conditioning back up I need to elevate my heart beat. But it’s so damned boring. Here comes blogging.


I can blog and tread mill… best of both worlds time management at its best.

Fifty dollar bill roulette

Well this week has been a world of innovation arty Xavier entertainment. I’ve travelled the world and also worked on some new effects. The one effect I’m most excited about its my fifty dollar bill effect.


A fifty is just strong enough to keep people’s interest but also is a Lee enough amount that Jones can be made with the audience.


It’s basically a guessing game of which hand the bill is in. Using some clever mentalism skills of non verbal communication and body language lie detection, I aim to consistently guess which hand a fifty dollar bill is in for out of four times.


I’m prepared to write off the fifty, however to date no one has been successful in beating me. As body linguistics teaches always keep an eye on where the nose is pointing, it’s usually most people’s tell.


It goes into show rotation this Saturday for my show at Honda motors corporation in California. Maybe I’ll stop out to the magic castle after. I love the premise of real mind reading nothing supernatural. It’s a skill that can really be utilized as well as lost, so you can win the mind readers money at my next mentalism show.


I’m coming up on the mile mark so as always; be unique and remember the reason for life is to live every day. As bond says, you only live twice… wait that should be once. What ever…

TOP 10 list as to why you need to hire a "College Mentalist"....


How does one decide to become a college mentalist and why you should hire one


When I started out reading minds a little over a decade ago, I started in a strange world rather blindly. I have a way my first college show so I could call myself a mentalist. It was actually fun. Now I’m considered the premiere college entertainer and mentalist for campus activities that need to excite and interact with audiences.


From strolling crowds at huge events and bending coins and silverware, like in the matrix, using mentalist mind power abilities to reading the minds of a whole audience on stage at a larger orientation event; Scott Xavier has been reading minds and create interactive events for over a decade!


Top Ten Reasons to Hire A University Mentalist

1. He knows what the HOT boy/girl in your class really thinks of you.

2. With over ten years of performances, he’s funnier then that comic and more “mental”

3. Borrowed coins and silverware will bend in YOUR hand!

4. He’ll teach you secrets to remembering dates and facts that will help you in class.

5. He’s affordable. Usually less then the price of a free dessert per attendee.

6. Bands come and go, however having your mind read lasts a life time…

7. A borrowed lightbulb will be powered in a spectators hands using mind power!

8. A borrowed table just may float using spooky means!

9. Ever want to know what’s truly on your professors minds?

10. He’s won awards!

Trade show magician is the secret to gathering a crowd


Hire a magician for your Trade Show Booth and draw HUGE Crowds!


A review of trade show magician Scott Xavier at a recent Chicago trade show.


“For two years now, I have been the meeting and events planner at Chi-Town Construction. With the amount of money we spend on our booth, I was amazed to find an affordable alternative to the standard game gimmicks. This alternative is trade show magician Scott Xavier.


I met this wizard of illusions and the mind on a fluke. I saw Scott perform at a friends birthday party at my fiances work event. Scott uses his magic to present real seeming magic. It becomes cool to experience magic again. Gone are sponge balls and funny looking magic props and what is in its place are levitations, mind reading, and really funny interactive magic tricks.


So I asked for a quote for a two day trade show. His price was phenomenal. He only asked that I write this testimonial…


Scott creates interactive demonstrations of real magic that transmits our company goals and product benefits in a funny magician interactive way. Scott is by far the best benefit I’ve found. If you are looking for a trade show magician and need to draw HUGE crowds, here’s your chance. We more then tripled our leads using his advice. Not only is he a phenomenal trade show magician, but he has insight into giveaways and booth design that made a huge difference. Thank you Scott…”

A trade show magician goes on Holiday in Bedford Pa.

"Most of my day is filled with taking calls about future shows, while balancing dates and details of upcoming trade shows," says magician Scott Xavier when asked: how difficult is your day? You see, Scott has become one of the premiere mentalists in the business. Companies hire him to craft their products into entertaining feats that will dazzle audiences using magic.

Now Mr. Xavier has decided to take a vacation for a while from the biz, and is producing a one man play known as FRIQUE. FRIQUE is a call back to Scott's days in the freak shows that toured america. In fact, his debut performance will be where he started out in the freak shows, Bedford Pennsylvania.

Scott jokes that he's like David Hasslehoff I'm Germany in good old Bedford. The new theater show is coming after his latest theater run in London where he achieved huge publicity and success with his mentalism show. Scott says he is starting with his roots. He's developed the show from the ground up with many new extreme illusions including: Russian Roulete, levitations, hypnotic mind control, and those freaky things that make you go WTF...

Scott will be taking his show on the road to NYC an London. For further information about FRIQUE follow the link, or to get Scott at your Trade Show booth head on over to his site. According to past clients, he's a must have!

Trade Show Magician and Mentalist, Scott Xavier, visits the elite Magic Circle

It’s hard to remember sometimes, but when you get rid of the fake thumbs and balloon clowns, real magic still exists in the world. Scott Xavier is one of those real world magicians.
Xavier is in town working the opening ceremonies of the Olympics as well as working a soho trade show toy convention. In between wowing audiences of trade show fans,Scott blends in the name of his clients and even mentions product benefits. It’s kind of campy at times but really gets a huge laugh and interactivity with product names at the trade shows. I personally am not sure if it’s Xavier’s trade show mentalist tricks or his comedy, but CT Toys has said they’ve never gotten more leads from their booth, which has been a staple at this even for 4 years.
“We wanted to advance things by adding a trade show magician, and I have a love for Derren Brown so I was super excited about having Scott at our booth… We’re all scared by a double dip recession, but our sales and interest from having a magician at the booth has proven effective…”, so says Matthew James a specialty toy manufacturer of London’s West End.
Now Scott Xavier has become a local fixture in London, as he has been performing at private Toga Parties, Etrange a west end exclusive restaurant, and now dazzling the initiated guests of the Magic Circle.
For an exclusive one night engagement, the Magic Circle hosted Xavier has he demonstrated what some call: “the most amazing feat of mentalism and magic”. This feat being Scott’s signature blindfold routine which we saw him performing in Soho.
This mentalist‘s future is bright! With talks for a tv pilot in the works, we only hope the BBC snatches it up!
