Very sad news... I understand he had a stroke, followed by a heart attack.
Those of us of a 'certain age' have to be careful... we aren't 21 any more! I did a lot of business with Scott and he was a straight shooter. He will be missed! JN

I just saw this today on my wife's facebook. What a shock.
Really makes one think about things. Scott was younger than me by several years. Worked with Scott over the years a lot, backstage, making props for his cruise ships productions and other things. He was a talented performer and worked hard.

Scott was way too young at 52. I am still in shock. Definitely one of my favorite stage performers. His holiday videos are modern day classics that will live on forever. I just cannot fathom how he could come up with all that material every year.
For those that would like to help Jenny and Scott’s 3 teenage kids there is a Gofundme page. https://gofund.me/19b38cd1 |

Thank you for sharing the GoFundMe videoman.
Tremendous Artist and lover of Magic.. I am grateful for his generosity. May he rest in peace.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love & be loved in return.

What a tragic loss at 52 years old. I was fortunate to see Scott perform multiple times at the PA Renaissance Faire. He was a terrific performer and a really nice person (based on my after show conversations with him). Also a great creator.
Thank you for the GoFundMe info. I can't even imagine how his family is dealing with their loss. Scott Alexander will be missed! |

In case any of you guys missed it:
The most popular headliner at Penguin Magic, appearing more than any other live guest we've ever had, Scott Alexander died very unexpectedly of a stroke while working on a cruise ship 2 weeks ago. He was only 52. He left behind 3 young kids and his wife (and lovely assistant) Jenny who could really use some help right now. Today, with the help of Scott's family we're selling a never-before seen video of Scott performing at the Magic Castle for $20. All $20.00 will go directly to his family. You'll be getting a great performance and helping a good cause. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/18283 |
