About Close-up & Strolling Magic
Magic That Happens Right With You
I’m Nihal, and I love surprising people up close. My magic isn’t about big stages or spotlights. I move around, chat with your guests, and suddenly make a coin disappear or tell someone what they’re thinking. It’s right in front of you, no hiding, no fancy setup.
What I Do
- Walk up to groups, break the ice, get everyone laughing or a bit mind-blown
- Classic sleight-of-hand illusions with cards, coins, whatever’s on hand
- Mind reading performances that really get folks talking
- Crowd work that fits in naturally - I’m not stopping your party, I’m part of it
Where This Works Best
- Office parties where you want something that’s not just another Zoom call or boring dinner. Boss-ge magic nodi, avru kooda shock aagthare! (Even your boss will be shocked seeing this magic!)
- House parties, birthdays, anniversaries - I blend in, so nobody feels left out
- Pubs and restaurants - table-hopping magician style, giving each group their own mini-show
Why I Do It
I just want you to feel like a kid again, honestly. There’s nothing like that look when someone sees real close-up magic for the first time. If you want your event to feel different, let’s make it happen.

My Story
Hey, I’m Nihal. Magic’s been my thing since I was a toddler in a giant turban – not even kidding, there are photos! By 8, I’d won state awards, and at 12, I was off to international summits, juggling school and magic tricks. My parents? My biggest fans. Turning childhood passion into a full-time gig feels unreal. For me, the best part isn’t just the tricks – it’s that feeling of wonder, like you’re a kid again. That’s where real magic lives.
My Work
All My Acts - I do magic, ventriloquism, mentalism, and emcee gigs for birthdays, corporate events, public shows, even pub magic gigs.
Comedy Magic & Ventriloquism - My most popular act with Sandy the monkey. Loads of laughs, magic tricks, and comedy ventriloquism show for all ages.
Interactive Human Puppet Act - I pick someone from your crowd and turn them into my puppet. Totally interactive and hilarious for corporate events.
Close-up Magic & Mentalism - I mingle, read minds, and do close-up mentalism. Might even guess your phone password (don’t worry, I won’t steal your data).
Emcee with a Twist - I host events, keep the vibe lively, and add a sprinkle of magic and fun to everything.
