Help Support Magician Scott Hitchcock in His Fight with MS

For decades, Scott Hitchcock has dazzled audiences around the world with sleight of hand, wit, poetry, and music. Whether on stage in Las Vegas casinos, performing street magic in New York, or crafting custom illusions for corporate events, Scott has always brought laughter, wonder, and originality to everyone lucky enough to see him perform.

Now, Scott faces the toughest challenge of his life: Multiple Sclerosis.

Recently hospitalized and newly diagnosed, Scott is in the middle of a severe MS flare-up. He’s dealing with overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, blurred vision, and frightening lapses in speech and memory. Most heartbreaking of all, for a man who built his life around performance, is the sudden loss of access to the scripts and routines he spent years perfecting. As Scott puts it, it feels like a steel door slamming shut in his mind, blocking him from the art he loves.

MS doesn’t just affect the body. It has upended Scott and his family’s entire life. He can’t drive, perform, or work, and the burden has fallen on his wife, who has been unemployed since November and is now full-time caregiver, chauffeur, advocate, and breadwinner for a household that includes three other disabled adults. The financial pressure is immense: with bills piling up, car insurance and loan payments due, and groceries becoming unaffordable.

Scott's spirit is resilient. But right now, the family needs urgent support just to get through the coming weeks and months.

This is our chance to give back to someone who has given so much joy and wonder to others.

Scott has always used his magic to lift others up. Now we have the chance to lift him.
