About Magic Performances
Who I Am
I’m David, and I do magic the way it should feel - real, personal, and right in front of your eyes. No big drama, no shiny props. Just me, you, and a deck of cards. If you want a big stage show, that’s not my thing.
My Style: Up Close, No Frills
Picture this - we’re sitting together, maybe even on the floor, and I’m showing you how cards vanish or reappear before you can blink. I keep it chill and interactive, so you’re part of it, not just watching. My magic is all about connecting with people, not just performing for them.
What You Get
- Sleight of hand magic with cards only
- Tricks that happen inches away
- A vibe that’s modern, raw, and a little edgy
- No ‘thimokpa thimokpa famdava’ (not just sitting around bored)
Best For
- Small social gatherings or house parties
- Casual meetups with friends
- Private events for a younger crowd
- Anyone who wants their guests to actually talk and laugh
Keep in Mind
I don’t do big illusions, mind reading, or clown stuff for kids. Everything I do is focused on close-up card magic. If you want a modern card manipulation experience at your event, that’s where I shine.

My Story
Hey, I’m David. You’ll catch me chilling in Bangalore, riding out to Nandi Hills, mall hopping, or just finding random photo spots. I’m from Manipur too – so don’t be surprised if I drop a 'khaide khaide!' with my folks. Sometimes it’s temples, sometimes it’s street art. That’s me – a mix of tradition, style, and a bit of magic. One minute I’m just hanging out, next minute I’ll show you something wild. It’s all about those moments of wonder.
