Scott Silven is a modern-day marvel like no other. 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. Hailed by Vogue as a ‘world-renowned mentalist’, the Scottish born artist has been described as ‘a marvel’ (The New York Times), ‘truly astonishing’ (The Daily Beast), ‘mesmerizing’ (Town and Country), ‘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’ (Manhattan Digest).

Following 6 major sell-out runs in New York at The McKittrick Hotel, and an extensive tour on the international stage, including engagements with leading arts organizations such as Melbourne International Arts Festival, Sydney Festival, Stanford Live, Auckland Arts Festival, Luminato Festival, Seattle Theater Group, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Spoleto Festival USA, and the Sydney Opera House, Silven made his premiere at the Brighton Festival and Edinburgh International Festival in summer 2024.

Scott’s latest show, The Lost Things, premiered at the Sydney Opera House in June 2025.  This residency and performance at the Modlin Center for the Arts marks the U. S. Premiere of the show.
