William has many show styles to choose from that are designed to fit any occasion along with just about any budget.

Extreme Close up Magic

Close up/Street magic is incredible magic that happens right in your own hands, or just inches away from your very eyes.

Cards and coins appear and disappear! Your signed dollar bill disappears from your hands and reappears in a lime wrapped in cellophane! Many people say that Close-Up Magic is their favorite kind of magic, because it just seems impossible to see it all happen so near!

If your event is less structured, and people are roaming about, then this type of magic is best. William performs sleight-of-hand routines from group to group, entertaining them with amazing, interactive close-up magic. Walk-Around Magic is also great for the cocktail hour before dinner to "warm-up" the crowd for a Stand-Up Magic Show after dinner.

Great for: Company Parties, Cocktail Parties, Get-Together’s, Carnivals and Fairs, Fund-Raisers.

The Theater Show

The Theater Show is a show like no other. Each show contains stage and close-up magic that is so incredible and entertaining your audience will hardly believe their eyes! Perfect for company parties, banquets, trade shows, and most any other venue with an audience around 500 people or less.

Utilizing masterful sleight of hand, a commanding stage presence, and quick wit, William will mesmerize your guests with a series of truly astonishing magical effects. Watch William Scott Anderson as he makes you sign a dollar bill, then vanishes the bill in your hands, has you pick 1 lemon out of a bag of 10, and then cuts YOUR lemon open to find your signed dollar bill in the middle. Watch William perform his award winning rope magic routine where you or an audience member repeatedly cuts an audience inspected rope in half only to have it restored right before your very eyes. William will open his act by giving you the hysterically funny routine known as the “Silent Treatment” where an audience member is instructed by way of flash cards to name out loud any card in the deck. At the conclusion of the trick William reveals why he has not said a word yet, he opens his mouth and inside he has the card that was selected before the trick even began.

And if that is not enough, you will be amazed when William Anderson reads your mind, and tells you what you are thinking, and who or where you are thinking about. This is a fun show with a lot of audience participation performed within inches from the audience's eye. It is a sheer delight to all when William places his head into the “Medieval Head Chopper” and cons an audience member to help pull the lever, only to notice that the assistant is nervous about the possibility of a catastrophic accident, so to prevent any “Undeserved Stress” William graciously trades places with the audience member and finishes out the illusion!

This captivating style of state-of-the-art magic harkens back to another age and time a hundred years ago when the rich and famous entertained in the parlors of their homes. Guests attending this “Parlor Magic” will feel like they have stepped back into yesteryear magically as well!

Grand Illusion Show-The Magic, Comedy, & Illusion of William Scott Anderson is a 2 hour Las Vegas style production filled with extraordinary magic, hilarious comedy bits, tons of audience participation, and impossible illusions. Great for any size of audience!!

Best of all, this is for all ages. The illusion show is a combination of classic and modern illusion. You will see some of the latest mind boggling effects as well as a few throwbacks to the days of Harry Houdini. People will levitate, disappear, and get cut in half! This show has all of the comedy and magic acts of “The Theater Show”, but adds the mystique of grand stage illusions. Audience members are encouraged to bring their cameras, as it is likely that you or one of your friends could become part of the show!! This show is designed to be modular and can be tailored exactly to your needs regarding the size, and length of the show as well as fitting into your budget! This program may require a significant amount of space to perform and a back stage area, though we can work with most any venue.

Birthday Party

The Birthday Party is a show that you and your family will never forget. The birthday party magic show is full of extravagant small scale illusions and uses the birthday child as the assistant. The guest of honor will have the choice of being cut in half, or electing a friend to be cut in half. Silk handkerchiefs will appear, disappear, and be magically transformed into candy, and even into the American Flag! This show features live animals as well. Rabbits disappear! Numerous doves appear out of thin air, even the birthday boy or girl makes a dove appear out of fire! In the end, right in front of your very eyes all of the doves visually turn into a large white rabbit! This show is great for anyone from 5 up to 12. If there is a broad age range for the party I would suggest a combo of “The Birthday Party Show” with “The Theater Show.” This would ensure that there is a little bit of something for all ages, and everyone will be entertained!
