Magician, shadow artist, but first—son, husband, father. My art is a family thing. My wife, my kids Pooja and Pratheek (maybe you’ve seen us as Psychic Siblings or Shadow Siblings), we share the stage, share the joy. My maa, my gurus, friends—every show I do, I carry their blessings, their dāri dīpagaḷu (guiding lights). Performing is my way of honouring them, and sharing a bit of my heart with you. ### My work - **Magic, Hand Shadowplay, Ventriloquism, Mentalism**: I perform magic shows, Hand Shadowplay (Neralina Aata), ventriloquism, and mentalism—on stage, at home, online. - **Family Acts**: Psychic Siblings & Shadow Siblings: I often perform with my kids, Pooja and Pratheek. Our Psychic Siblings act brings a special energy. - **Hand Shadowplay Storytelling**: My Hand Shadowplay isn’t just shapes—it’s kathé (storytelling). We bring Panchatantra tales and social messages to life. - **Magic for All Events**: We’ve done shows at big festivals, private parties, corporate events, and even virtual magic shows. Every show is a sahayaatra (journey together). ## Book To book Prahlad Acharya, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Prahlad%20Acharya.)
