Mentalist, illusionist and performance artist Scott Silven's marvelous magical career is inspired by the mists and mysticism of his Scottish homeland.

Silven studied hypnosis age 15.  At 19 he impressed David Blaine and by 21 he was headlining a show at one of the UK's top theatres.

Now 34, he's bringing his show Wonders  to the Auckland Arts Festival in March.
