My thing is mixing mind-bending tricks with tech, so if you want your event to have a futuristic vibe, I’m your guy. ### How My Close-up & Cocktail Magic Works - I move around your party - no fixed spot, no formal show. - Guests get their own 'chota sa magic' (little magic) session. - Super interactive, everyone joins in, nobody just sits and watches. ### Digital Illusions & Classic Tricks - I’m known as the iPad Magician of India - digital illusionist for parties, but it’s not just screens and gadgets. - Watch me pull drinks out of the iPad or snap and manipulate photos that turn real! - Love a bit of mind-reading magic at events? I’ve got mentalism and classic card tricks too, for those old-school wow moments. ### Why It Works - Great ice-breaker at cocktail hours, sangeets, and receptions. - Perfect for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and any bash where you want something different. - I can do branded magic for corporate gatherings too - your logo, your message, woven right into the tricks. ### My Journey Been at this for 25 years, from childhood hobby to world stages, even Bollywood and a Guinness Record. Still, nothing beats seeing folks go “maza aa gaya!” (Loved it) when the magic hits. That’s what I live for. ## Highlights Browse through Rahul Kharbanda's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/illusionist_rahul_kharbanda/close-up-cocktail-magic/featured) - [Video: This is where technology meets illusion.

Been doing magic for 25 years, started as a kid just for fun, now it’s my life. Guinness World Record mil gaya (I got it), helped Akshay Kumar with magic in Atrangi Re. My shows have taken me from Delhi to Phuket and beyond. When not performing, you’ll find me lost in adventure or at the shooting range. For me, magic is focus, thrill, and making people believe—even if just for a minute. ### My work - **All Kinds of Magic Shows**: I do illusion, mentalism, iPad magic, grand stage acts, cocktail events, even pre-wedding magic. - **Digital Illusionist**: Tech magic is my thing—think iPad magic show, interactive LED presentations, and digital illusions. - **Custom Brand Magic**: I create customised corporate illusions, weaving your brand story into the act for launches or reveals. - **Audience Interaction**: I involve people—mind reading, laughs, memories. Audience makes the show, always. ## More services from Rahul Kharbanda - [Corporate Magic & Brand Integration](https://mytribe.in/illusionist_rahul_kharbanda/corporate-magic-brand-integration) · ₹70K-2.5L per event (estimate) - [iPad & Digital Magic](https://mytribe.in/illusionist_rahul_kharbanda/ipad-and-digital-magic) · ₹45K-2L per event (estimate) - [Stage Illusion & Mentalism Shows](https://mytribe.in/illusionist_rahul_kharbanda/stage-illusion-mentalism-shows) · ₹1.5-6L per show (estimate) ## Book To book Rahul Kharbanda, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Close-up%20%26%20Cocktail%20Magic%20by%20Rahul%20Kharbanda.)
