WHO IS
GABRIELLA LESTER
Gabriella Lester is a 20 year old internationally award winning magician from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Known for her quick wit and sardonic charm, she's quickly became one of the fastest growing names in the industry.
Gabriella is one of the youngest performers to ever do Houdini's daring suspended straitjacket escape (at the age of 14), she's performed on some of the biggest stages in Vegas, and is also a frequent headliner at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. Most recently, she appeared on Penn and Teller's hit show 'Fool Us', was featured in the New York Times, and performed over 500 shows in the year of 2023 while solo touring in both Europe and North America.
Aside from live performances, Gabriella worked as a magic consultant for Hallmark while filming movies such as "We Need a Little Christmas". And in 2024, she became an associate producer on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.
In her spare time, she works on and rides motorcycles ranging from dirt bikes to liter bikes to track. She developed her love for powersports from her father at an early age, and has since spent years in the garage learning about the ever so complex world of motorsports mechanics.

YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT
“Dear Gabriella
I wanted to write and thank you for your recent performance on stage at our annual convention in Las Vegas
A few colleagues were surprised when I suggested we have a 14, nearly 15, year old female magician perform at our event, but my theory and predictions were correct, you were an absolute hit with our audience and so many commented to me how incredible you were.
As usual, the main question was, "how does she do that?" and I really don't know. You are very talented, and have a wonderful way of interacting with the crowd and I am truly grateful you gave such outstanding performances, not once, but twice on the day.
I would happily recommend you to any other organization who were looking for the extra WOW factor at their corporate event, you will certainly amaze all who see you.
Keep up the good work and I am sure we shall see your name in lights on the Las Vegas strip in the not too distant future”
Sincerely
