About Scott Nelson

When Cirque du Soleil made a TV series, Scott & Muriel were the illusionists they called. This Dutch/American couple are the first and only comedy act ever to win the World Champions of Magic. They call themselves ‘the Accidental Illusionists’ because nothing in their show goes exactly as planned.  Without speaking, they present amazing illusions of their own creation combined with hilarious physical comedy.  From Scott’s first appearance upside down and on his head, to them both sawing a member of the audience in two, their audiences never know what will happen next. But whatever does happen, you can be sure it’ll be laugh out loud funny! Their prizes and awards include: The Grand Prix at the FISM World Championships of Magic, Lisbon (2000) The Golden Clown at the World Festival of Clowns, Ekaterinaburg (2009) Four Special Prizes at the International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo (two in 2008 & two in 2018)
