DALE SCOTT is an avatar of astonishment, who discovered at an early age that he wanted to reveal and express the primal mysteries that energize and make us unique. He has made it his destiny to use his vision and innate abilities to dramatize these mysteries by using imagination, spectacular stagecraft, and new-millennial showmanship.

His peers echo his calling:

Phil Willmarth, The Linking Ring, magazine of the International Brotherhood of Magicians: "Dale Scott is clearly a polished and very experienced performer with expensive and highly effective presentations. His show features elaborate stage sets, pyro-techniques, dancers and dramatic kabuki-type presentations... not to mention excellent magic!"

"William W. Larsen, of Hollywood's world-famous Magic Castle: " He delighted Magic Castle audiences with his talent and style, which is unique and imaginative.

Hiawatha, writing in Magic Magazine: "We're talking eye-catching sets, props, costumes and enough pyrotechnics to rival Disney!"

By 12 he learned the art of stilt walking from Geza Geier, a European hand ballancer and acrobat and he was booked as the youngest professional stilt walker in the world "Too Tall the Clown". umax13.JPG (18462 bytes)He towered 13 feet in the air amazing audiences nation-wide at fairs, shopping malls, grand openings and parades. This lead to expanding his range and scale by creating eye-arresting and mind-blowing illusions. He became a member of the Counts of Conjuring under the direction of William Brewe.The Counts is the oldest organization in existence for teenage magicians and there Dale developed his award winning act. He subsequently learned more of his craft from the prestigious Chavez College of Prestidigitation and Manual Dexterity, studying under the premier sleight-of-hand authority, Neil Foster. umax15.JPG (18521 bytes)Dale eventually won the gold medal award of merit as a result of a national competition sponsored by the Society of American Magicians when he was only nineteen years old. Dale apprenticed for six months with Aldo Richiardi, his greatest inspiration, and was encouraged and advised by Marvin Roy, (Mr. Electric) who said after he won the gold medal: "Now go with it", and he did! (See Dale's inspiration page to learn about other magicians who helped his career move forward).

Stan Alan, now publisher of Magic magazine, advised Dale to contact the cruise industry, which led to a successful career with fourteen different cruise lines including 5 world cruises on Cunard's famed 'Queen Elizabeth II". Travelling to countries like Egypt, France, Africa, China and Japan, helped influence his unique style which Dale calls "Thematic Magic". umax14.JPG (15265 bytes)When he's not Inaugurating a new cruise ship, Dale can be found headlining around the country as well as appearing with stars like Bob Hope, Mitzi Gaynor, Jim Nabors, Jerry Vale, Red Buttons and others; or at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, or appearing for the Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan. In 1991 producer William A. Shaw writes, "Your performance with Bob Hope in the Rose Bowl Gala Celebration will long be remembered by everyone there". A week later, Dale brought his Magical Kabuki Theater production to the Magic Castle which was then celebrating their 28th Anniversary. It was here that Dale's friend the late Sam Kinison, "Super Star of Comedy", planned to work with Dale dubbing him "THE FUTURE OF MAGIC". Kinison, who had a deep love for magic and a fascination with The Great Dante, thought Dale's style was dramatically cutting edge. In 1993, Dale performed for the president of the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City for over 1000 VIP guests in his own production with a twenty two member cast and crew. He is the only illusionist to perform for a VIP Gala at the famed Kennedy Compound in West Palm Beach, Florida. Anthony Kennedy Shriver, afterwards, wrote: "We are grateful for your enthusiastic performance, it made our gala Outstanding!"

In fact many producers have built entire shows around him such as: Circus Fantasia, The Phantom of illusion, Magic in the Air, and Cinemagic (where Dale took on the role of James Bond). One of his most celebrated "looks" used in past performances was his stunning disguise in full Kabuki style make up and wardrobe with black panthers and four female assistants." Dale says that playing different characters in his thematic productions makes the magic more challenging for him and more entertaining for the audience. Today he uses his energetic presentations in a creative way which incorporates the art of illusion into corporate meeting themes. This not only empowers his message, but it makes his magic resonate long after the curtain drops. That is the real magic.

umax10.JPG (11761 bytes)It was best said by magic star Mr. Electric in an article prepared for Genii, The International Conjuror's Magazine, "Dale Scott is one of the new exuberant, wonderful breed of conjurors that will carry magic into the year 2000 and beyond. He is always willing to take that extra chance in search of that ultimate miracle that all magicians seek "

Taking the same primal energy and dream of magicians throughout human history Dale adds techno-brilliance, Faustian flash and razzle-dazzling deception to all of his theatrical events. He gives you the future ... now!
