An unforgettable performance of awe-inspiring intrigue. As a child, Scott Silven reveled in mystery. This innate fascination with the enigmatic and unexplainable guided him to the craft of illusion at a young age, and evoked a sense of wonder that he knew he had to share with others. "Wonders" is a show for these extraordinary times; a shared experience that explores the power of connection through unforgettable illusions. As an acclaimed illusionist, mentalist, and performance artist, Silven pushes the boundaries of his craft by creating stylish, smart, and uniquely immersive performances on both stage and screen that mesmerize audiences across the globe. Recently awarded the prestigious New York Times Critics Pick and described by Vogue as a “world-renowned mentalist, ” the Scottish-born artist has been hailed by the world’s media as “truly astonishing” ("Tatler"), “mesmerizing” ("Los Angeles Times"), “unforgettable” ("Entertainment Weekly"), and someone who “wows everyone” ("The New Yorker") by crafting some “of the most awing and effective theatre productions on offer” ("Forbes") through “elegance, sheer mind power, and profound philosophical insight.” ("The Epoch Times"). Silven’s debut in La Jolla follows an extensive tour of his groundbreaking virtual experience The Journey, celebrated as one of the most successful and longest-running shows of the pandemic by critics worldwide. Alongside this, Silven recently completed two major sold-out runs in New York and three world tours of his critically acclaimed shows Wonders and At The Illusionists Table.
