Sal & Gabi Break the Universe
Sal is in his first week at Culeco Academy of the Arts. On his third day he goes to his locker to get his diabetes bag as he was feeling a little light head in his last class. As Yasmany Robles is having trouble with his locker, Sal offers to help him. Yasmany gets offended by this and knocks Sal’s diabetes supplies on the floor. In retaliation, Sal says Yasmany keeps dead animals in his locker. Yasmany calls his bluff until a girl sees blood drip from the locker. He works the lock, since Yasmany keeps the combination on the back, and steps back to let Yasmany open the locker. When he does a dead chicken falls on the floor. The students scream and flee before a teacher arrives.

Appearance
Sal Vidon is a Cuban boy with light brown skin. He keeps his hair pretty long, as it gives him a place to hide stuff in the middle of a trick.

He wears canvas pants and a cargo vest, each with four pockets brimming with pretty much all his having a lot of pockets to help in his magic performance.

Personality
Sal is shown to be quick thinking and witty when in the right situation, as shown when a raw chicken appeared in Yasmany’s locker.
