Here is a look at my life as a magician, away from the spotlight. ## Photos and videos - ![This is my magical resume in one picture. With over 11 years of experience as a magician, illusionist, and mentalist, I guarantee an entertaining performance every single time.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ccd35d1f-2764-4d4f-be48-13be89446703) - [Video: A Friday magic jam session with fellow magicians.

The reactions from the crowd show that sometimes the simplest ideas are the most magical.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e8526db1-2b55-422e-a7cc-f9dbbaa78637) ## About More Magic & Moments You won't find stiff, rehearsed stage acts here. This is the raw side of magic—me testing new card sleights at a Friday jam session or figuring out shadow illusions with my crew. Magic requires thousands of hours of practice to stay sharp, and this is where the real work happens before I bring it to your living room or corporate event. It is messy, it is experimental, and it is exactly how I keep the tricks fresh enough to actually shock you. ### The Craft Behind the Chaos Most people only see the final performance where the card disappears or the mind-reading hits the mark. But magic is a discipline. Whether I am in a Bengaluru cafe or backstage at a corporate gig, a huge part of my life is spent jamming with other magicians, critiquing each other’s handling, and failing a dozen times before a trick is ready for a real audience. ### Why This Matters for Your Event When you hire me, you aren't just getting a guy with a deck of cards. You are getting someone who lives and breathes this craft. My 'More Magic' moments are essentially my R&D lab. - **Continuous Innovation:** I don't recycle the same stale tricks from a decade ago. I am constantly integrating tech, digital magic, and new psychological concepts to make sure the experience feels modern. - **Adaptability:** By practicing in non-traditional settings—cafes, home setups, or chaotic festival environments—I have learned how to perform anywhere. If your venue has bad lighting, limited space, or a noisy crowd, I already know how to work around it. - **Real Interaction:** The magic I do requires reading people. By spending time just 'jamming' and performing for peers, I’ve developed the instinct to know exactly when to push an audience and when to let the mystery breathe. ### Want to see the real deal? If you are planning an event in Bengaluru or anywhere across India, let's chat. I don't do 'packages' that treat your event like a factory line. I prefer to understand your crowd and pick the acts that will actually get people talking. ## About Sharan Kuttappa I’m Sharan, and for the last 11 years, I’ve been obsessed with making people question their own reality. I don't do boring, distant stage shows; I want to be the guy at your party causing chaos, breaking the ice, and blowing your mind with stuff you never thought possible.
