Those words changed my life. They inspired 'Magic for Happiness', where I perform in orphanages to prove that everyone deserves a moment of wonder. My journey with magic started in a cyber cafe when I was 15, watching videos and saving up for props. I had a clear path set for the aviation industry, but the pandemic brought everything to a sudden halt. That setback was tough, but it became the foundation for my true calling. When a child from a low-income community told me that magic was only for the wealthy, it ignited a fire in me. I realized that my craft was not just about the tricks, but about inclusion. That moment led me to start the Little Smiles Foundation, my non-profit for the education and wellbeing of children. I have performed 500+ free charity shows. Today, I balance my work as a magician for corporate events, mentalism shows, and private parties with my charity mission. Virtual shows are mainly for corporate audiences, with families and private groups a secondary fit. Whether I am using professional cameras for a virtual show or performing on the floor of a government school, the goal is always the same: to create a genuine connection. Idhu thumba chennagittu (This is very good). I take the same care with my corporate clients as I do with my foundation work, ensuring every participant leaves with a sense of wonder.
