    Total Schmidt Show (2TSS84P) The Magic of Gabriel

    Total Schmidt Show (2TSS84P) The Magic of Gabriel

    It was the  @celebritycruises  Constellation where I ran in to Gabriel and and Alessandra Nicastro. Gabe's show has everything from close-up magic, to crowd work, to card tricks, to an enourmous breathtaking stunt. It really hits all the levels They are both from Italy. Worked in the circus together before coming out to the ships. It's the story I always love. Performers re-inventing themselves, pushing the limits... MAKING a career out of an idea and passion. It was a great conversation. 

    He was gonna be a lawyer..... HA!

    After the taping, Alessandra went back to her home in Italy to help with the family business for a while. Gabe takes a short break and then, heads back to sea.
