Who is Kel Fabie?

 A professional host, magician, mentalist, and now, a novice (but steadily improving) standup comedian, Kel has been a professional for a few years already, plying his trade in parties and corporate events. He has made a name for himself as a versatile performer who can entertain kids and adults alike. He is considered as one of the foremost thinkers in the realm of comedy magic and mentalism.

From children's parties to corporate product launches to proms and debuts, Kel's versatility lends itself to whatever you might need. As a magician and mentalist, his clients include the likes of Mike Defensor, Richard Merck, Panasonic, Alaska, SM North, SM Mall of Asia Hypermart, The Philippine ToyCon, My PC Buyers Guide, and a host of other private parties, for ALL age groups. He has even delivered lectures for I-Blog 3 and DLSU's Alternative Class Program.

As a former radio personality from WAVE 89.1 and the station formerly known as Campus 99.5, Kel is also a veteran in the hosting circles, having hosted countless movie premieres and parties for both stations, the WWE Smackdown press conference in Gateway, the 2009 Philippine ToyCon, the Sony Vaio Fashion Show in SMX Convention Center, the Sun Cellular Dance Showdown in Baguio, the Taste Asia Blogger's Party in Mall of Asia, not to mention various other weddings, debuts, and other such events.

He has been featured on television several times already, mainly on ABS-CBN'S "Ruffa And Ai", GMA 7's "Unang Hirit", QTV 11's "Sapulso", and Studio 23's "Mornings@ANC".

He is also one-half of the infamous magician/mentalist duo known as Kel and Jay. Often dubbed as the “Penn and Teller of the Philippines”, their cutting-edge, unique, and unmatched dynamic style, have given rise to last year's successful collaboration known as “Laughs And Gasps”, a magic, mentalism, and comedy show featuring Kel and Jay with special guest, leading singer/comedienne Giselle Sanchez, the sequel to which will be coming this October 23, in PETA Theater.

How Can He Entertain You?

  Kel is available for numerous different functions, including but not limited to parties of all kinds, receptions, functions, corporate events, trade shows, product launches, and lectures. He has the ability to perform in several diverse albeit complimentary formats. He is flexible and adaptable and through this he ensures that clients maximize their entertainment investment, and reap unparalleled returns from the astonishment and profound entertainment of the guests. Needless to say, he is not your average, run-of-the-mill magician. He is there to astound and entertain in his unique and inimitable style.

In a nutshell, Kel will pull out all the stops in order to entertain you and your attendees. Why bother with the same old song and dance routine? Think - and let your audience think as well! Give them an experience that they will continue talking about long after the party’s over. Give them the Magi-Kel experience!

Close-Up (Walkaround): The performer will approach tables or individuals and demonstrate his skills through a variety of effects. This is perfect for quiet dinner parties, wedding receptions, or even in between sets of stage performers or entertainers. He may also do this in a standup setting, achieving the same benefits from a table setting. This is a very flexible arrangement, and ensures a level of intimacy with the audience that maximizes the impact of the performances. This is Kel's specialty.

Stage Show: The stage show typically follows lunch or dinner, and often as one of the highlights of any program. Here, Kel will perform several tests of his skills onstage and ask the audience to participate as he does it. The stage show can also be confined into a parlor show, to demonstrate these skills even to children at children’s parties with more visual implements in order to attract their attention.

Corporate Shows: Whether as entertainment for a prospective client in a big meeting, or at a product launch, Kel's wide range of skills can certainly make your event very memorable. What you see in the videos section is a mere sampling of Kel's skills: he has a wide array of effects meant to astound and amaze audiences that they've never seen or heard of before. Kel's excellent communication skills also comes into play very heavily here, having had ample experience performing for non-native English speakers.

Trade Show: Whether as a booth where the performer/s will entertain your audience, or even as the attraction of choice at your hospitality suites, or even as a roving attraction to draw trafic and drum up interest in your Trade Show area, Kel's presence at Trade Shows is definitely a big deal. Be it through various tests of skill or even readings of one's personality, Kel is fully capable of becoming a must-see attraction in any given trade show.

Lecture: If you wish to learn about the art of performing magic, or the rudiments of mentalism, or even performance English, Kel is available to give lectures on these topics and more. As a teacher by profession, Kel has imparted his knowledge to beginners and experts alike. He is also unmatched as an impromptu and motivational speaker when it comes to being able to drive home a point through his impeccable choice of words and famous demonstrations of skill. He offers modules for people who wish to become magicians, mentalists, or even non-beginner performers who wish to enhance their English-speaking skills in a performance setting.

Hosting: As a professional host, Kel's entertaining banter and endearing personality will enhance any event, no matter what occasion. Whether it be as romantic and solemn as a wedding, or as energetic and action-packed as a rock concert, Kel's infectious enthusiasm and ability to connect with his audiences from all walks of life never fails to make any event that much more memorable. He is perfectly bilingual (English and Filipino), and knows a few key phrases and can even hold basic conversations in Fookien, Korean, Japanese, German, and Capampangan.

Not the best video quality, but it's Kel doing a rope routine for Charmelle of the 26K Girls from Deal Or No Deal.
