      Loved the act, did not get the code about the 'hair' though (if there was any code in it).
      .
      Ride safe.. whenever driving fast vehicles.
      .
      Affectionate wishes🤍💙
      and hope to see you get so busy, so famous that you do even get to individually read all such posts, comments.
      .
      .
      Now I no longer want to travel outside India again.
      But if there be a bucket list.. of places to visit, things to do..
      .. then... wanting to watch your live performance😇 sure would be in it.
      .
      Or who knows... may be some day you decide to try sweaty, dusty, overcrowded tropical countries too give you an adrenaline rush.

    This wasn't just magician's banter, but a delivery that was lovingly bespoke-crafted around your (possibly also our) fanhood of Penn and Teller. This trick incorporated history, humor, danger, and a genuine familiarity of how much and why we all love these two guys. It's not a magic trick-- it's a loving tribute❤.

    As a fellow Vancouver magician, this was the first time I've ever seen Gabriella perform & I must say that I was highly impressed. Everything from her confident stage presence, to the way she had 2 or 3 different themes weaved through this performance (ie: flirting with Teller, Penn with the flash cards, as well as, the escape itself). Wonderful job & I look forward to future presentations.

    The key to success is always coming up with another goal, another hill to climb, this time you got to meet and make them laugh but NEXT TIME, you have to ACTUALLY fool them 😉👌

Very brave to invite them onto stage with you, and your stage presence is fantastic. Great humor, great presentation and pacing too. Although I did notice the slight of hug, I don't know how you escaped from the jacket. And that is what I love about stage magic: knowing you are about to be fooled, and trying to figure out how it was done. It is one of the most honest and intellectual forms of art.

    You have the most amazing personality and the best stage presence I’ve ever seen in an 18 year old. I wouldn’t be surprised if Penn and Teller ask you to work with them or open for them someday. I see nothing but greatness in your future if you’re this good at such a young age.

    I love escape acts. And you're absolutely right when you said you wanted to do something not everyone can do. There are self-working card tricks, but I don't know of any self removing straight jackets lol. You were awesome, plus you got Penn all flustered with math equations and that's always a win.

Your stage presence, charisma, and ability to draw the audience in had me hooked from the start. Beautiful display of class, confidence, showmanship and pride in your craft. Can't wait to see what you do next. +1 subscriber

    I gotta say, to be only 18, and to march out on the stage like you owned it, and to project that much confidence was the most impressive thing to me. I’m 45, and my awkward teenage years still haven’t left me! Well done! Great trick, and fantastic performance! Godspeed! 🖖😀
