TEDx & Keynote Speaking by Akshay Singh
I bring psychological illusions to the stage, transforming the concept of a typical keynote into a mind-bending exploration of perception, choice, and the human psyche.
A fantastic interaction on the TEDx KGI stage with the incredibly humble Milind Soman. I performed a mind reading demonstration where I correctly guessed the object he was thinking of, just by reading his body language.
A few candid moments from my time at TEDx IIM Bangalore. The energy backstage and the interactions with the audience and fellow performers are just as magical as what happens on stage.
Another shot from my talk at TEDx CIT Bengaluru. The screen behind me reads "A journey of Education," as my talk focused on how illusion can be a powerful tool for learning and changing perspectives.

My official performer bio for TEDx IIM Bangalore, where I was billed as "India's only Paranormal Illusionist." It's an honor to be featured alongside other talented artists and musicians.

About TEDx & Keynote Speaking
When I step onto a TEDx or corporate stage, I don't just do tricks for applause. I use card illusions and mind reading as a visual metaphor for cognitive biases, helping the audience literally see how easily their focus can be manipulated. It is about taking complex psychological concepts and making them visible, so your audience walks away with a fresh, startling perspective on how they make decisions every day.
My approach to public speaking and keynotes is simple: if you want people to change how they think, you have to show them, not just tell them.
I treat every talk as a psychological experiment. Whether I am at a university event like TEDx CIT Bengaluru or a corporate summit, the goal is to bridge the gap between magic and reality. I use my signature 'paranormal' style to grab attention, then pivot into the science of why we perceive the world the way we do.
What I Bring to the Stage
- Live Demonstrations: I don't rely on slides. I use live mentalism to illustrate points about communication, decision-making, and focus.
- Interactive Learning: Your audience isn't sitting back. They are part of the process, helping me uncover the subtle cues that drive human behavior.
- The 'Why' Behind the Illusion: I break down the psychology, explaining how I read micro-expressions and body language, which translates directly into lessons for leadership, sales, and team building.
This is not a traditional motivational speech. It is a performance that leaves people questioning their own reality, which is exactly why they remember it long after the event ends. If you are looking for a speaker who can wake up a sleepy conference room or bring a new edge to your organization's annual event, I am ready to show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
