Michael
Abrahamson is best known as one of South Africa’s
foremost sports broadcasters with his experience dating back to 1991.
One of his main career highlights includes working as SABC’s
main English radio commentator at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, commentating on 19
games in full, including the opening game and the final, on SA’s official World
Cup radio station - Radio 2000.
He was the
first broadcaster in the country to win the
prestigious SAB Radio Commentator of the Year 3 times, with a total of 6 awards
in this category, and he won the SAB Radio Sports Broadcaster of the Year award
for being the top commentator in the country at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
However
this qualified Actuary’s passion lies in the art of Mentalism. While you may be
skeptical, there is more to this art form that meets the eye. Mentalism makes
use of the power of the mind with purely scientific methods to achieve the feats
that are demonstrated in the shows that Michael performs.
Abrahamson’s
mentalism shows have proven to be a huge success with a vast range of
audiences, and is an excellent event entertainment idea for most corporate
functions, private parties and end of year functions. The show is unique and
completely different and has universal appeal.
With
his mentalism shows, Abrahamson also demonstartes how he has developed his
memory over the years, as many features within his shows are purely memory
skills; one such component is that Abrahamson has memorised all the flags from
200 independent countries, plus various facts of each country.
As
an extension of this show, he also formed a Company called Powerbrain, where he
holds workshops aimed at helping people develop the skills he has acquired to
improve memory and brain function.
The
Powerbrain Memory Course teaches methods to improve memory, and is designed to
improve concentration levels and build up stronger links between the left and
right side of your brain so that you can use more of your brain to achieve
better results.
The
course has been successfully run at numerous schools, universities, and
companies over the past 20 years, and has received exceptional feedback from
hundreds of attendees.
In
addition to having actuarial qualifications from the Institute of Actuaries in
London, he also has a first-class honours degree in Statistics, and has been
teaching the subject in various capacities for over 20 years. Michael uses all
his teaching and exam experience to empower delegates and teach them clever and
useful techniques that have served his students well. As a multi award-winning
lecturer, his knowledge is invaluable to learners.
He
also teaches Mathematics and Statistics to school learners and unviersity students.
Before the year ends, Abrahamson will be hosting a Memory Course
on the 24th of November 2018, from 8:00am to 4:30pm at Boston City Campus and
Business College, Bedfordview (101 Van Buuren Avenue, in premises of Virgin
Active).
Not only
will this course teach you the necessary skills to get 2019 started, but it
will also help with end of the year brain fatigue, skills in dealing with the
end of the year stress, deadlines and burn out, plus more.

TESTIMONIALS:
• “If only I had learnt these techniques earlier
in life, I would have achieved so much more. Continue doing a great job for the
people you come across. May God bless you.”
– Thantaswa Takata,
Trainee Accountant, Auditor General South Africa, KZN branch
•“I enjoyed the sessions very much and feel more
empowered to go and write my exams. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you
very much, Michael, you are doing a great job”
– Tshepiso
Matlapeng, UNISA student working at Alexander Forbes
• “I definitely enjoyed the course as it was
both fun and enriching. The course substantially increased my ability to
memorise and revolutionised my study methods. I like the way you taught us as
you projected your voice very well and your jokes were funny. Very productive
course.”
– David Ng, 1st Year
Actuarial Science student, Wits University
• “Your skills are powerful, Michael. I attended
your session last year and it helped me as I used the skills to pass. I suggest
that you visit schools as well so that pupils know from an early age to use
their minds and study wisely. That will help to improve matric results and pass
rates at universities as well.”
– Mzimkhulu Kuliswa,
Trainee Auditor, Auditor General South Africa, Eastern Cape branch
• “From what I have seen in this course, you
don’t actually have to be a bright student to achieve good results. With the
methods learnt, we can change a fail into a pass or a 60% into a 70%. I really
could go on for days…”
– Ralph Strange,
student, Boston College
• “I have sincerely enjoyed this course! Brilliant
ideas I wish I had known when I was at school. I also found the exam tips
incredibly beneficial and accurate for the learners. The guidelines reiterate
all the ideas we as teachers try to explain to learners. I will definitely
recommend this course to any person interested in new, exciting and practical
methods of approaching studies. This makes an arduous task seem easy and
possible. I feel hopeful for learners on this course who have struggled previously
with their studies, as this will make all the difference.”
– Mrs N. Schefermann,
teacher, Northcliff High
• “I have
found this course really wonderful and have enjoyed being here. Very
informative, fun, humourous, with good examples of how to apply methods.
Excellent points on writing exams and best ways to prepare. Thanks Michael for
the effort you have put into this course. It has been a pleasure.”
– Colette Crichton,
parent
• "The
rapt attention and keen participation by the learners on a Saturday afternoon
were an indication of the excellence of the presenter and the course material.
Michael convinced me that it IS possible to teach an old dog new
tricks!"
– Mrs G. Leighton, Head of Mathematics, Glenwood House, George
• “Michael, thank you, thank you, thank you. My daughter is so inspired
and can't stop telling my husband and I how excited she is to use what she
learnt on your course. It's wonderful to feel her excitement and see how it's
sparked her interest in school work again. We look forward to your next course
in George.”
– Leslie Barske, parent
