Trusted by the Stars: Exclusive Mentalism & Magic
When the crowd includes industry leaders and familiar faces, the entertainment needs to be sharp, discreet, and genuinely engaging. Here is a look at the shared moments from some of the most discerning audiences I have had the pleasure of performing for.
It was an electrifying weekend reading the mind of the dazzling Madhuri Dixit. I also had the chance to amaze the esteemed faculty of the University of Southern California (USC) at the same event.
After a private show, the brilliant Farah Khan called me the best she'd seen. Her playful suggestion to add 'Kapoor' to my name for fame was a highlight of the evening.
Another wonderful evening performing for Madhuri Dixit, Dr. Nene, and their guests. Creating magic for such a warm and appreciative audience is always a pleasure.
On stage with Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk for their movie promotion. A bit of mind reading, a prediction, and a lot of fun. It’s always a great challenge to bring my art into the world of Bollywood.
Here's a personalized illusion for Gujarat Titans' captain, Shubman Gill. Using numbers chosen by the audience, I created a magical reveal of his name, leaving him and the audience smiling.
The time I read Anil Kapoor's mind and almost had to dodge a few playful punches. He's an artist through and through, and our post-show chat about his journey was incredibly inspiring.
I invited the veteran actor Shekhar Suman to revisit a cherished school memory. I then added a touch of magic, revealing the exact time connected to that moment on a watch he was holding.
"Naam toh suna hoga." On stage, I asked a guest to think of any celebrity. Through a process of reading her subtle cues, I was able to reveal she was thinking of none other than Shah Rukh Khan.
A fun moment with Mouni Roy, where her signed card impossibly appears from within its own layers. It’s a piece of magic that questions the nature of choice and reality itself.
I doodled a small heart on Maniesh Paul's hand and, with a bit of magic, made it transpose to Sonali Bendre's palm. A simple, visual piece of magic that creates a shared moment of wonder.
About Trusted by the Stars
Performing for high-profile guests isn't about being loud; it’s about respect and timing. Whether it’s a quiet interaction with a movie star or a routine for an elite athlete, my focus is always on creating a genuine, interactive connection that doesn't disrupt the flow of the evening. You get the same level of attention, confidentiality, and polished performance, regardless of who is in the room.
Magic at this level is less about the trick and more about the atmosphere. When I step into a private event for someone like Madhuri Dixit or a corporate gala, I am not there to demand attention; I am there to create shared experiences that elevate the vibe.
My approach to luxury entertainment relies on discretion, elegance, and impact.
Close-Up Sophistication
For intimate settings, I use sleight-of-hand and digital mentalism that happens inches from the guests. There is no need for big props or stage rigs. It is perfect for cocktail hours where guests are mingling or relaxing, allowing me to move naturally between groups without intruding.
Mentalism & Psychology
This is my signature. It involves psychological illusions, reading thoughts, and creating 'impossible' moments using borrowed objects like iPhones or signed playing cards. It is deeply personalized, which is why it works so well for high-profile guests—the magic is about them, not me.
Tailored for the Audience
Whether it’s a movie promotion or a family celebration, I adapt my routines. If it’s an athlete like Shubman Gill, we play with themes of performance and focus. If it’s a legendary actor, we might touch upon the art of storytelling and memory.
At the end of the day, it is about that moment when a skeptic becomes a believer. That is what I strive for—the look of pure wonder, the laughter, and that 'kya baat hai' feeling that lasts long after the event concludes.
Find the magic that fits your occasion
Whether you are planning a cocktail hour or a private celebration, find the right act.
