Nevo the Mentalist

Nevo Abutbul, the youngest mentalist in the world, has taken the world by storm, astounding audiences globally. At the remarkable age of 12, he became a finalist on "Israel's Got Talent," and in 2023, at just 18, he was honored as one of Forbes' "30 Under 30," recognizing him as one of the most innovative and inspiring young minds in the world.

Ever since he was a young boy, Nevo has pursued his dream and realized it day by day. During the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Nevo developed a podcast for youth about realizing their potential and turning their dreams into reality-"LEAD IT," was distributed across all channels and even evolved into a specialized summer course for teenagers.

The Israel Defense Forces recognized Nevo's potential and selected him as an outstanding instructor. He was assigned to serve in the Education Corps, where he utilized his art to encourage soldiers, instill personal self-confidence in them, and boost morale. Since "Iron Blades," the frequency of Nevo's performances has risen exponentially (up to 4 shows a day), in front of soldiers in combat zones - on the frontlines, in gathering areas - sometimes even under artillery fire and gunfire. Additionally, Nevo performs for wounded soldiers and civilians displaced from their homes in conflict zones. After performances for IDF soldiers and reservists, they testify to a rise in spirit, breaking routine, and, most importantly, mental refreshment and uplift.

Parallel to his military service, Nevo was chosen as an ambassador of honor for the "Unistream" association, an organization that annually provides equal leap opportunities to thousands of young boys and girls from all over the country and from all sectors - who receive tools and skills from the worlds of entrepreneurship and hi-tech, aiming to encourage them to dream big and fulfill all their professional aspirations.

Nevo launched the first cultural collaboration between Israel and the United Arab Emirates since the signing of the Abraham Accords. Officials in Dubai, invited the young mentalist to perform in a series of regular shows titled "Wonder Boy," similar to the classic shows in Las Vegas and Broadway.
