Scott Silven: Wonders
Enter the hypnotic world of Scott Silven, the Scottish illusionist inspired by the landscape of his childhood.
About Scott Silven: Wonders
A childhood chance encounter inside a Glasgow magic shop catalysed Scott Silven's lifelong fascination with the world of illusions. As a teenager he swapped rural Scotland for Milan to study hypnosis. By the age of just 19, he gained recognition from the world-famous illusionist and extreme performer David Blaine.
Today, the Scottish illusionist performs across the globe – hypnotising audiences both on stage and via a screen. Through cunning tricks and engrossing performance pieces, he prides himself on pushing his craft to the edge and creating a suspenseful atmosphere that is reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock or a David Lynch film.
Silven invites you on a journey of his childhood memories growing up near the ancient rivers of Scotland in an unforgettable performance far beyond a traditional magic show.
