The youngest mentalist in the world, Nebo Abutbul, is only 17 years old, but has a career of several years on his shoulders. It was recently revealed that a first cultural collaboration was signed between an Israeli mentalist and a businessman in Dubai. Aboutbol embraced a series of shows in Dubai. In a conversation with Iris Cole on 103FM he told about the battle show.
At the beginning of his words, he referred to the beginning of his career and said: “At the age of 9 I started performing, I went to my parents and told them that I wanted to be a mentalist. I was always like that, a strange child, less going out with friends to play football and more staying at home, asking questions about the mind and thinking. In the end I decided which is what I want to do. At first they didn’t support me that much, they told me it wasn’t a profession for the future, but over the years they realized it was something serious. At the age of 12, I broke through on the TV show ‘Got Talent’ – at first my mother didn’t come with me, but when I got to the finals she arrived”.
He also added that “I’m still quite the wonder child in the field, and at some point the child will disappear and my goal is to leave the wonder. That’s the goal, and all I want to do is surprise people, make them happy, leave them with the feeling of ‘wow’. As long as I will do it, I’m sure it will continue to be my dream. I have a lot of passion.”
About his upcoming military service, he said: “I am enlisting in February, I received an outstanding craftsman track, which is a type of talent track in the army. My job will be to be a military mentalist, which is actually a standard that was opened especially for me after many, many tests. I will go around many, many bases and perform in front of other soldiers “.
As for the idea of the biggest show in his life, he said: “The businessman in Dubai invited me to do a show for his relatives, where he really turned on me, a good relationship was established and he decided to take the reins in his hands, and put on a show of crazy magnitude. This entertainment connects people and brings hearts together, it’s a step Huge for our country.”
In conclusion, he excitedly shared that “it is important for me to convey to the children who hear me, that you should give faith in dreams – that is the greatest thing in the world. I am grateful that I am able to fulfill my dream at this age.”
