Soon afterwards he was doing contracts like 20 weeks performing in Holland Village in Nagasaki, Japan. Upon returning to Europe he won the biggest street festival in the Netherlands, the Oranjeboom Straatfestival (now the Rotterdamsefestival.)
This led to Scott performing around 200 shows a year at corporate events, private parties, galas and street festivals throughout northern Europe. Then in 1992 he was hired to perform at the prestigious Magic Stars Festival in Monte Carlo.
At this festival a dream was born to have a stage illusion show of his own.
But not wanting to be a carbon copy of the rest, Scott invested many years and thousands of dollars in his own original comedy illusions. However one thing was still missing: a partner.
Ads were placed, interviews were done, but it wasn't until his girlfriend Muriel (born in Holland in 1971) completed a Phillipe Gaulier workshop on the Clown that he knew who his partner should be!
Muriel, having performed her own cabaret show in festivals and theaters in the past, was however busy in a traveling theater production interspersed with performances at corporate events throughout Holland as a Theater Piccolo (Bellboy) with Davris Entertainment.
Finally in 1999 they began working together. They were an instant success!
They traveled to Monte Carlo, Germany, and Japan in their first year alone. Then in June they entered their act in the Dutch National Convention of Magic. They won and were crowned the National Champions of Holland!
But fate had bigger things in store...
In July they headed off to Lisbon, Portugal, for the FISM 2000 World Magic Convention. They entered in the comedy category and their act received a standing ovation. The next day at the award ceremonies they did not receive the 1st place in Comedy, BECAUSE THEY WERE AWARDED THE GRAND PRIX!!
Never before in the history of FISM had a comedy act won the highest award in all of magic. In one moment their lives changed forever and they have been catapulted into their future, full speed ahead!!
Now are traveling the planet with their hilarious romp through the world of Grand Illusions entitled, appropriately enough, Grand Dellusions!
They were shot for the television program Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde in Paris, Traunmtänzer and Stars in der Manege in Germany, and for the Arosa Humor Festival in Switzerland. Now they are part of the World’s Greatest Magic Show family too. |
