Scott Tokar is unique among magicians, having focused solely on corporate entertainment (Infotainment) and visual communication, he is known today as a “specialist” in tradeshow magic and sales meeting motivation. Unlike his magical colleagues, Scott does not regularly perform in night-clubs, at kids birthday parties, or picnics...
However, like many well known magicians, early career achievements have always been a part of Scott’s life pattern. At age 7, he was given a magic set as a present. While mastering cards, coins, and cups and balls, he developed an intense interest in the art of illusion, and began performing publicly. As time passed, Scott could be found honing his skills at private parties and gatherings throughout the greater Los Angeles area. At the young age of 13, Scott became the "City of Tustin's Official Magician" and he placed his first ad in the Yellow Pages. At age 16, Scott became a member of The Magic Castle’s Junior Program for advanced and promising young magicians.
After four years of intense lectures and mentoring by some of the world’s finest magicians, Scott, at age 20, received the coveted Junior Achievement Award from the Magic Castle’s Board of Directors. And, to this day, Scott is ranked as one of the youngest members ever to receive an award from The Magic Castle..
Over the years, Scott’s professional affiliations have grown to include membership in The Society of American Magicians (Life Member) and, The International Brotherhood of Magicians (Order of Merlin). As a member of London's prestigious Magic Circle, he has been honored with the highest degree possible in magic, "M.I.M.C. (Member of the Inner Magic Circle, with a Gold Star).
At the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention, Scott was invited to compete amongst fourteen other magicians from around the world. He was immediately recognized for his originality, technical expertise, and showmanship, and was granted the First Place Trophy for his Close-Up / Sleight of Hand Magic.
In 2011, at the 83rd I.B.M. International convention, Scott participated along side 20+ “Street Magic” performers in the Annual I.B.M. “Strolling Olympics”... And this time, by a popular vote by his peers, Scott was named as “Best Comedy Magician” of the competition!
Scott is now globally recognized as an innovator and leader in the world of trade show exhibiting, and conventions. For the past three years he has served as faculty, instructing Certified Trade Show Managers (CTSM) at the Exhibitor Tradeshow in Las Vegas teaching "Booth Basics Boot Camp", and "Gathering the RIGHT Crowd" as well as moderating several round-tables.
And in the Summer of 2018, Scott launched his peer-acclaimed “Masterclass” on the business of magic: “How to Make Six Figures in Magic” with Ellusionist.com
With nearly 18 hours of on-demand video, 17 interviews on the vertical markets within magic, and 5 solid resource files, this has become THE concise reference to making a successful living as a professional magician.
2020 may have been a "bummer" year for most, but for Scott his inclusion in the Guinness World Records book was a childhood dream come true... Working with Pioneer/Corteva Agriscience Scott used his Corporate Magic experience at the Farm Progress Tradeshow to achieve the "Farthest Teleportation Illusion" in Boone, IA.
