"Throughout my performing career, I’ve made it part of my crusade to demystify the creative process – taking apart its pieces one by one, examining them and putting them back together to understand how they work as a whole.

"[18][19][better source needed][20] Zabrecky is best known for an aberrant magician character he portrays by combining irreverent dark humor, mentalism and an artful use of elongated pauses in performances.

The show featured highlights from his Magic Castle act, song & dance, conversations with the moon and audience interaction.

But what makes his highly interactive show worth seeing is his evident love of pushing things right to the edge and then maybe a little further.” [35] In 2022, Zabrecky released SEANCE!
