White Rabbit Experience
Holiday Party Magic in Los Angeles
One evening, every guest in on the same impossible moment. The part of the night your team still talks about in January.
In Good Company
White Rabbit brings close-up magic, mentalism and a private show to company holiday parties across Los Angeles. It is the rare entertainment that works for everyone in the room at once: the executive team, the new hires, the colleagues who don't drink and the ones who do. For the person planning the evening, it is also one less thing to worry about.
What the Evening Looks Like
Scott arrives well before your first guest. The music is on, the room is set, and by the time the doors open the evening already feels hosted. He greets guests as they arrive, the way a good host would, before a single card is touched. Through the cocktail hour he moves through the room, eight to fifteen guests at a time. Teams that rarely talk end up laughing together. When dinner is served, the magic steps aside so the meal has the room. By the time plates are cleared, most of your guests have seen something they can't explain and have a story to tell about it.
A Show After Dinner
For larger parties, or when you want one moment the whole company shares, a seated show follows dinner: 30 to 45 minutes, with its own lighting and sound, built around your guests rather than a routine performed the same way everywhere. Many companies book both: strolling magic through cocktails, and the show as the close of the night.
For the Person Planning It
Your name is on this evening, so everything is built to make your part easy. A written contract. A certificate of insurance, with your venue named, within two business days. A W-9 and invoicing that fits your procurement process. Material that is clean for any audience, and no guest ever put on the spot in a way they wouldn't enjoy. One point of contact from the first call to the last guest out the door.
Right for Every Room
The performance is visual and conversational, so it lands the same with a sober table, an international team or a room that leans conservative. It has been part of evenings for Netflix, Disney and Morgan Stanley, and for companies who book it again the following December.
December Evenings
The Friday and Saturday evenings in early and mid-December are the first to be claimed each year. Weeknights, lunches and dates after December 15 stay open longer. If you have a date in mind, a short call is the simplest way to hold it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should we book entertainment for a company holiday party in Los Angeles?
As early as you can. The Friday and Saturday evenings in early and mid-December are claimed first every year, often by late October. Weeknights, lunches and dates after December 15 stay open longer. A short call is the simplest way to hold a date.
How much does a holiday party magician cost?
Every holiday party is quoted individually, based on guest count, format (strolling magic, a seated show, or both), venue and timing. The quote comes after a short call and arrives as one clear figure, with no line items. The process is built for corporate procurement: written contract, certificate of insurance and W-9. Scott Syme is a member of the Magic Castle and a consultant to Dustin Tavella, winner of America's Got Talent. Call (424) 394-1850 or inquire through the contact page.
What are good entertainment ideas for a 100-person company holiday party?
For a party of around 100, the format that works best is strolling close-up magic through the cocktail hour, roughly 60 to 90 minutes, so every guest has a moment of their own. If you want one shared moment for the whole company, add a 30 to 45 minute show after dinner. Unlike a band or a photo booth, it brings people from different teams into the same conversation.
Will magic work for our holiday party if half the team doesn't drink?
Yes. Close-up magic is one of the few kinds of entertainment that works equally well for a sober table and a social one. The moments of surprise and laughter don't depend on the bar. Younger, social teams meet it with energy; more reserved or international teams find it elegant and clever.
Can you perform at our office, a restaurant or a private venue?
Yes. Offices, restaurants, ballrooms, members' clubs and private homes across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Calabasas and beyond. Travel within greater Los Angeles is included. Orange County, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs are quoted as one all-inclusive fee.
Is it right for an international or mixed-language team?
Yes. The strongest moments are visual: objects appearing, vanishing and changing in a guest's own hands. They don't depend on wordplay, so they land the same for every guest in the room.
