Gabe performed at our Senior Luncheon Program February 20th.

This was our 2nd program with Gabe and our members were memorized and amazed at his performance. He had our guests sitting on the edge of their seats for and hour and a half constantly wondering how he does what he does with our minds!! We are still talking about his performance and how he connects with the audience and gets them involved. He would be great for any event. As the program chairperson, I so enjoyed working with Gabe and appreciate what a fine person he is.

My husband and I want to tell everyone that we had a great experience with Gabe Abelson. We needed someone to entertain at a senior birthday party, so we called an entertainment agency (Gig Salad) which we found on the internet. They referred several mentalist to us and we had the good fortune to choose Gabe after he contacted us by email. When he followed up with a phone call, he sounded pleasant and reassuring. We scheduled him quite a bit ahead of the party date, and we were nervous about him being on time and his performance since we had not used him before. He from prior experience seemed to know this and called several days before to reassure us and confirm the time and place. That set the tone for what was a very professional interaction with us and our guests. He arrived on time and was very polite and amazing as he performed his unexplainable acts of mentalism. He stayed for the whole party although we had him scheduled for an hour. We would highly recommend Gabe , he was fabulous.
Everyone thought he was wonderful.
