Scott Wells Receives Special Fellowship Award from the Academy of Magical Arts in 2024

 A Night of Stars in Los Angeles, California

On May 17, 2024, the celebrities came out to celebrate the achievements of magicians from around the world. The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, recognizes magicians who have distinguished themselves and set them apart in a special category. Such awards went out to (among others) Magician of the Year, Lecturer of the Year, plus Special Fellowships that were presented to an elite few. Scott Wells received a Special Fellowship that evening.

The inscription on the plaque says, “The Academy wishes to honor Scott Wells for his considerable contribution to the creative world of magicians, mind readers, stage illusionists, and ardent admirers of the art of astonishment. In recognition of his Magic Word Podcast, beginning in 2011 and now numbering over 800 episodes, we celebrate those special conversations with esteemed colleagues and contemporaries that bring us insight, encouragement, and inspiration. The Academy of Magical Arts commends Mr. Wells for promoting not only the personal stories of fascinating individuals, but fellowship amongst our extended family of artists and entertainers everywhere.”

Congratulations to Scott Wells for receiving this most prestigious honor.
