Mind-reader Eric Dittelman didn't need his talent to predict the crowd's reaction to his show in the Westborough High School auditorium Wednesday night.

The 2003 WHS graduate and Grafton resident heard lots of laughs and applause from the stage.

Dittelman gained national acclaim this summer on NBC's "America's Got Talent," where he became one of 24 semi-finalists competing for the grand prize -- $1 million and headlining a Las Vegas show.

Dittelman will follow-up Wednesday night's show with a second Westborough performance next month.

He'll appear at "A Night of Amazement," Congregation B'nai Shalom's largest annual fundraiser, from 7 to 11 p.m. Jan. 12 at the Sheraton Framingham.

Advance reservations are $50, with students 14 and older and accompanied by an adult family member for $36 or a table of 10 for $500.  Otherwise, as space permits, admission will be $60 at the door.
