Having a background in magic that spans over 30 years, Scott Wells has taken a lot from magic. But just as one needs to replant the soil with new sprouts, Scott has sod acres of ground with fertile magicians. He is a performer, publisher, author, teacher, lecturer, collector, designer, artist and friend to magicians the world over. Scott has taught magic to neophytes in continuing education classes and lectured to professional magicians at conventions. He is a co-founder of two I.B.M. Rings (Lincoln, NE and Midland, TX) and a member of several organizations including The Magic Circle in London, England where he holds the degree of Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star. Scott is also a lifetime member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M.) and the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.). He has served on many committees on the local and international level of many magic organizations over the years. He was the President of the Texas Association of Magicians in 2000 when he chaired the annual convention in Dallas, TX and he received the prestigious "Magician of the Year" award three times from the Society of American Magicians Assembly 19 and the Houston Association of Magicians. As the Vice President of the World Alliance of Magicians (W.A.M.) his focus within W.A.M. was toward "Unethical Magic Manufacturers and Dealers" which was directed at exposing those in our fraternity who manufacture and sell unauthorized versions of proprietary illusions or illegally duplicate and sell copyrighted material. For over 10 years he wrote a syndicated monthly column (Scott's Thoughts) of advice, theory and business for magicians. He was a contributing columnist and feature writer for Genii, The Minotaur, M.U.M. and The Linking Ring among others with tricks contributed to The Trapdoor and Harry Lorayne's "The Himber Wallet Book" and other publications. He was a regular contributor to The Magic Menu in its early years and even rendered the logo for the magazine's banner. He was also the convention editor for MAGIC Magazine for nearly a decade. More than just a theorist and hobbyist, Scott is a magic dealer and a seasoned performer who understands the professional side of the magic business. He regularly entertains for corporate functions with close-up and stand-up comedy magic in venues from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to New York City. Scott was a house magician at Houston's former Magic Island and still regularly performs at Hollywood's Magic Castle. He also holds a Doctorate Degree from Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic (F.F.F.F.) having performed before his peers in an exclusive environment nearly a dozen times. He is the managing partner of Magic Inspirations, a partnership with the world-renown mentalist, Banachek, specializing in the manufacture and marketing of an exclusive line of mentalism props, books, videos and CD's. He designed and currently hosts several websites including www.houstonmagic.com which regularly updates the magic community on magic happenings in and around Houston, TX. Oh, and one other thing...he is one of President George W. Bush's favorite magicians. They were friends in Midland, TX in the early 1980's when G.W. assisted Scott with some of his illusions having his tie cut and restored, the shirt pulled off his back and even levitated three feet in the air!
