Michael Abrahamson – Corporate Mentalist is one of SA’s top mentalists and has modified his corporate show to feature unique routines which are mind-boggling. His show is fully interactive and promotes lots of discussion – the perfect ice-breaker to your event.
Michael originally made his name in the industry as a multi award-winning sports broadcaster on TV and radio.
He has covered high profile sporting events across the globe, including the Athens Olympic Games, World Cups in cricket, rugby and soccer, SA tours to the Caribbean, Italy and the UK and major events in over 20 sporting codes.
He was the recipient of the top radio broadcaster SAB award for the FIFA 2010 World Cup and his voice has been heard internationally.
He also does voice overs and acts as MC for numerous cricket, swimming and gymnastics events.
Originally a magician, Michael was exposed to mentalism in the early 2000s, and immediately started working on putting a unique show together.
Since SA has very few mentalists, Michael’s show is unique and a real eye-opener to clients looking for something very different to spice up their events.
Michael Abrahamson show varies from event to event and he never performs exactly the same show twice, in order to give people who might have seen him before, something new to watch and enjoy.
Mentalism is an art form which allows the mentalist to use his or her five senses to create some wonderfully unique entertainment.
Michael Abrahamson show incorporates mathematics, memory feats, psychological suggestion, mind reading, body language, eye movement etc, and he even prefaces his show with some information about how his audience can use these skills in their day to day life. As such, audience members leave the event not only with a mind-blowing show to talk about, but with some skills that they can use to better their own performances in their day to day lives.
His three mentalism stage shows, Powerbrain – The Mentalist, Powerbrain – The Mentalist Sequel and most recently, Visage – Revealing the Secrets of the Mind, have played to big audiences and exposed mentalism to a wide spectrum of the SA public.
Michael also offers training programmes for corporate clients, and runs Memory and Mind Building courses around the country for school learners, varsity and college students, and corporate clients.
Michael Abrahamson also offers quiz shows, both general knowledge and music, which also go down very well. All the quizzes have a twist at the end, which keeps everyone interested right up until the final round. He is also an MC and a sought-after guest speaker, and his client list involves most of the big corporate companies in SA.

Sara-Jayne King is a mixed-race South African/British journalist and radio presenter whose career has taken her across the globe in search of remarkable stories and fascinating characters.
Her career began as a junior journalist in local radio in London and since then has included roles in the Middle East and Africa, most recently as a senior editor for news channel eNCA and presenter for Primedia’s talk radio station Cape Talk.
Born Karoline King in 1980 in Johannesburg South Africa, Sara-Jayne King (as she will later be called by her adoptive parents) is the result of an affair, illegal under apartheid’s Immorality Act, between a white British woman and a black South African man.
Her story reveals the shocking lie created to cover up the forbidden relationship and the hurried overseas adoption of the illegitimate baby, born during one of history’s most inhumane and destructive regimes.
Killing Karoline follows the journey of the baby girl who is raised in a leafy, middle-class corner of the South of England by a white couple. Plagued by questions surrounding her own identity and unable to ‘fit in’ Sara-Jayne begins to turn on herself.
She eventually returns to South Africa, after 26 years, to face her demons. There she is forced to face issues of identity, race, rejection and belonging beyond that which she could ever have imagined.
She must also face her birth family, who in turn must confront what happens when the baby you kill off at a mere six weeks old returns from the dead.
Sara-Jayne King is passionate about issues relating to identity, race, adoption, mental health and addiction and addresses all of those factors in her talks.
