| The Magic of Joseph Gabriel |
|
Back in April of 1983 Joseph was booked for one week at the famed Magic Castle in Hollywood. The response to his act was overwhelming! For the next couple of months he continued to rock the magic world until he achieved the break of all show business breaks. After only seven months in Hollywood, he was asked to perform on the “Tonight show” with Johnny Carson. Months later, February 1984, Joseph Gabriel made his Las Vegas debut fittingly in the most lavish show in town, the “Lido de Paris” at the Stardust Hotel. Two years later he was asked to be the starring act in ”City Lites” a the Flamingo Hilton where he performed for ten consecutive years.
In 1996, Joseph made a mega-leap from Las Vegas act to Broadway star, when he created and opened his own full evening show entitled, “MAGIC ON BROADWAY” in New York City. The show opened to rave reviews and ran for and unprecedented 18 months. Within the first three months, Joseph’s show broke all box office records at the Lamb’s theatre. After returning to Las Vegas, Joseph performed at Caesar’s Magical Empire in Caesar’s Palace. A 60 million dollar facility that rivaled any Hollywood special effects sound stage. The Magical Empire was an amazing two hour theatrical dining experience that ended with a spectacular stage show.
For those of your who have not seen Joseph perform, you have every right to feel denied. He is a master of sleight-of-hand and has created some of the most spectacular illusions in the world of magic. Gabriel’s stage presence is commanding, distinctive, and hypnotic. His originality in style and presentation is a sight to behold, making a marvelous mixture of kinetic energy on stage. It is his creativity and power of performance that has brought him to the forefront as one of the leaders in shaping the future of magic. After seeing Joseph perform, there are only two words you will think of when you think of magic…
