Los Angeles Best Illusionist 2014 by LA Journal

New LA Journal Report Honors Mentalist Scott Xavier is the Best Illusionist of 2014

Following a 75 plus contestant battle in Los Angeles, celebrity judges came to the conclusion that mentalist Scott Xavier and his X-Ray eyes routine was the LOS ANGELES BEST ILLUSIONIST. Scott started the contest with some close up fork and spoon bending that moved into a signed quarter bend.

The crowd loves when things visually bend. It twists their minds! –Scott Xavier

The competition was really intense. Magicians from around the globe met and competed for this event. Over 75 contestants were in attendance. As one contestant stated: “Los angeles is the unofficial center for magicians. Los Angeles is known for it’s excellence in magic and magicians.”

1st place Award-Winner, Los Angeles Best Illusionist, Scott Xavier performed a visionless echo location martial arts routine. He duct taped his eyes shut, blindfolded himself with a sleeping mask and then proceeded to shoot balloons blindfolded with a paintball gun and sliced balloons out of audience members hands. It was truly an amazing performance!

Using Confusion for Good Business

As a mentalist, I have studied many powers of the mind. Some are so simple we often think they are not controllable. In my book Tricky Business, I describe many of the psychological stunts one can learn to manipulate for business success!

Here is one of the effects from Tricky Business from Scott Xavier at http://www.amazon.com/Tricky-Business-Secrets-Real-Jedi-ebook/dp/B004TME1KA you can also head to http://www.scottxavier.com for more!

Effect- During the first World- War, there was a story of a messenger on the front lines. This man was to carry a message: “Send reinforcements, we’re going to advance…” Sounds straight forward enough, however by the time it reached the general it became: “Send three or four pence we are going to dance…”

Any message you communicate can get distorted and confused. But what is a good communication and how do you use it effectively?

the Secret:

As leaders in a goal to success, we need to be aware of how we transmit messages. Miscommunication happens because we inform our teams rather then communicate ideas with them.

Communicating an idea is the exchange of an idea that has the same meaning to those involved. By simply assuming your ideas are understood, you can fail in business.

If I asked you what is time, you may have an answer, which is completely different, then those around you. Time can be linear or a more general period of existence. The definitions are numerous.

If you are speaking of a specific genre or terminology, which a person is not familiar with, the idea also has the potential for becoming lost to the receiver. When transmitting a message try to get feedback to ensure that your message was transmitted properly.

Next time you type an email, take a step back and read it. Try to find the meaning that it will carry. See it from the outside it. Don’t just assume it will be understood. In this modern age of technology, message boards and emails are the number one avenue to get your business in trouble.

A friend of mine always states: “Write your email. Read it. Rewrite it, and then throw it away and rewrite it once again…” The key to success is being able to transmit ones ideas well and if you are stumbling for the right words, your competition might just get the edge over you.

When you telephone someone, ensure that you have written out your ideas thoroughly and know how to transmit them well. For cold calling have every avenue of conflict already mapped out and have a rebuttal for each. Never make it seem like an assault either. Just become a wise man with a solution for their problem!

Real magicians do it in the streets

I’m Scott Xavier and tonight’s show is at 2-fers in minooka Illinois…

Batman is not real? Someone tell that to cousin John!

I could imagine a day filled with Bruce Wayne Lucious Fox and mind reading. Until that day happens I will have to be content with being a mind reader for G-Tech and Kellogg. Either way DC at comic con just released a photo of Ben Affleck as Batman. He looks remarkably allot like Adam West. Heres to hoping this isnt another batman forever. And if you need a mentalist at your next event…

Call me (312) 725-0190 And I am pretty sure Bruce is a master illusionist but even he would be fooled by my mind reading…

DAYUM! You must have some magic or something! Bruce would love this…
