Audiences
are dazzled by the beauty, amazing skills and appealing
personality of one of the few women who have reached
headline status in the entrancing world of magic. Scarlett -
Princess of Magic is currently starring in Las Vegas at the
V Theater in the Planet Hollywood Hotel. Beginning October
7th Scarlett’s concert dates change to the
following. She will perform six days a week Friday through
Monday at 2:30pm –Wednesday at 4:00pm and Thursday at 4:00pm
and 5:30pm (Tuesday is dark). Children under 12 are admitted
free.
Scarlett’s
daytime show is a truly memorable experience: she performs
exciting feats of illusion, dressed as memorable Hollywood
stars throughout her family friendly show. The eclectic list
includes everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Michael Jackson.
David
Saxe, V Theater’s show producer and managing partner states
that “I have not seen such stage presence in a female
magician since my sister, Melinda: The First Lady of Magic.”
“I love
entertaining audiences in an intimate setting, and
headlining at the V Theater is a dream come true” states the
charismatic entertainer, whose voluminous red hair and
dazzling green eyes have become her trademark.
Scarlett is
a true female role model in a male dominated business. She
has mastered some of the most difficult feats performed by
the legendary Harry Houdini and Harry Blackstone, Jr. She
has conquered the unimaginable by being handcuffed, feet
shackled, dropped upside down and locked in bone chilling
water in an escape never intended for a woman.
She owns
one of only two 40 year-old Topsy Turvy vertical boxes that
belonged to Harry Blackstone, Jr. The prop is quite narrow
and just large enough to stand in upright. Scarlett is
flipped over and placed upside down and is able to
instantaneously switch to an upright position before an
amazed audience.
Fans of all
ages are amazed by the Wind Shear performance which is
extremely dangerous. Scarlett encounters a large high
powered industrial fan and is able to “magically’ pull her
body through its razor sharp blades in one piece.
Scarlett
also loves animals, and uses five of her personal pets in
the show. She feels that “Animals make people smile. I love
bringing Eve, a Hyacinth Macau, my rabbit ‘old blue eyes’
named after Frank Sinatra, Stan the parakeet, Spiffy the
miniature daschaund and my German Shepherd Rommel to work
with me every day. It takes patience to train animals and
create magical effects around them. Their safety is my
utmost concern.”
This
multi-faceted entertainer loves new challenges and is adapt
at three languages including: Spanish and Chinese. She is an
accomplished dancer, has fire performing skills, is an
artist, metal welder and a percussionist.
Scarlett
grew up in Reno, Nevada. She dreamed of performing, and at
the age of 5 began dancing. She studied ballet, tap, jazz,
Irish dance, salsa, tango, fire dancing etc. for over 10
years. She feels that “My comprehensive background in
dancing has helped my performance skills: you need the
physical dexterity and on-stage personality to confidently
perform magic before an audience.”
The young
girl was also interested in the wonder of illusion, and saw
every magic show in town. Beautiful ladies floating in air
and objects that mysteriously appeared filled her
imagination.
Her dreams
materialized when she was selected to perform as the
featured assistant to Reno magician Jon Andrew. She
incorporated her dancing expertise and fire performing
skills to enhance his show. Jon quickly discovered
Scarlett’s natural talents and began working with her to
develop a signature style of her own.
Scarlett
recalls that “Jon taught me classical routines – the
vanishing birdcage, linking rings, etc. and once I
understood the performance elements I was able to conquer
the technical aspects of each illusion more effectively.”
Scarlett
performed her first show in October ’07 in Henderson, Nevada
and has headlined at Hollywood’s legendary Magic Castle and
at “The World’s Greatest Magic Show” at the Greek Isle and
Casino in Las Vegas. She was the only female co-starring
with 6 other magicians.
It is a
dream come true for Scarlett. She has accomplished an
amazing feat – starting as an assistant to headlining in her
own show on the Las Vegas strip in just two short years! She
has always believed in hard work, determination, talent and
persistence.
She
currently resides in Las Vegas and her hobbies include:
painting, metal sculpture, travel and exotic foods. She
spends time doing charitable endeavors and working with non
profit dance companies to inspire young people, and let
them know anything is possible.
