I chase those reactions, the laughs and the pure "arre yaar, kaise kiya?!" (hey, how did you do that?!) moments. Magic, for me, is more than just tricks - it's about sharing something real with people, even if what you see isn't exactly real. ### What I Do - Big stage, small room, terrace, or garden - I shape my magic to fit your vibe. - For larger crowds, I mix interactive mentalism and bold illusions. If you're in the mood for audience participation magic, I’ll pull folks up on stage for wild stuff. - Love mingling? My close-up magic for weddings, office parties, or family functions gets right in the middle of things - think coins, cards, even your phone doing impossible things literally in your hand. ### How I Work - Most of my magic uses everyday objects, so everything feels personal and impossible. - I obsess over every detail - some ideas have taken me years to get right. My balancing acts are all about perfect santulan (balance), sometimes using things I borrow from you on the spot. - I mix sleight of hand, mind reading, and illusions that mess with your head, not just your eyes. ### Types of Events - Corporate events, weddings, private parties, festivals - I’ve done them all, in India and outside. - If you want everyone to remember your event for that "did you SEE that?" feeling, I’m your guy. Based in Bangalore, but I travel for shows if you want that mind reading show Bangalore energy anywhere else. My only aim is to leave you and your guests happy, surprised, and honestly, just a little bit confused in the best way. ## Highlights Browse through Sanjay's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/illusionistsanjay/live-magic-mentalism-shows/featured) - ![This is where the magic begins.
