Featured Magic Shows and Mentalism Performances
From TEDx stages to intimate corporate gatherings, I combine psychology and sleight of hand to create moments where reality takes a backseat. Take a look at some of my favorite performances across Bengaluru and India.
This is the moment just before the magic happens. I use a blend of psychology and suggestion to create experiences that blur the line between reality and illusion, leaving the audience captivated.
"Nimmage nanna phone password enadru gottidya?" (Do you know my phone password?). This is one of my favorite routines, a modern mind-reading act where I use intuition to unlock a complete stranger's phone. It’s interactive, personal, and always gets an amazing reaction.
Performing on the iconic red circle of a TEDx stage is always an honor. This was at TEDxNHCE, where I shared my perspective on illusion, perception, and the psychology behind the magic we experience every day.
On stage for ABInBev's grand Diwali celebration at the Hilton Bangalore. My goal for large corporate events is to create a high-energy show with grand illusions that captivates hundreds of employees at once.
Magic isn't just for the stage. I believe in creating moments of wonder anywhere, anytime. Here’s a spontaneous performance for an IRCTC employee late at night that ended with pure, simple joy.
Facing a crowd of over 2,000 people at the Infosys OneDerLand event in Bangalore. I thrive on the energy of a massive audience, ensuring everyone, from kids to grandparents, is part of the show.
A truly memorable moment being recognized by Rocking Star Yash. Sharing the stage with such a celebrated artist was an incredible experience and a highlight of my journey as a performer.
About this collection
Every performance I deliver, whether it is a grand corporate illusion or a close-up card trick, is built on a foundation of psychology rather than just sleight of hand. When you book me, you are not just getting a set of tricks, you are getting a tailored experience where I analyze the crowd’s energy to decide whether a mentalism routine or a high-energy stage act will land best. I usually bring my own pack of cards and enough enthusiasm to turn even the quietest room into a space of shared wonder.
I believe in creating moments that stick. My shows are not about simple tricks; they are about psychology, observation, and performance art. If a routine does not make an impact, I do not perform it. This philosophy drives my approach, whether I am performing for 2,000 people at an Infosys event or working a private party in Koramangala.
For my Bengaluru crowd, I love mixing in Kannada patter and jokes. Namma Bengaluru crowd, you know what I mean. Performing with that local touch makes the show feel like a conversation rather than a formal act. I often ask, 'Nimmage nanna phone password enadru gottidya?' (Do you know my phone password?) and that usually breaks the ice faster than any standard introduction.
I am comfortable in a sharp tuxedo for a high-end corporate award night or in casual wear for an office mixer or college fest. I travel extensively, from Mumbai and Delhi to Chennai and Hyderabad, bringing the same psychological edge everywhere I go. My goal is to ensure your guests are not just watching, but actively participating. Whether it is a digital magic routine using smartphones or a full-stage escape act, I make sure everyone, from the CEO to the front-row guests, feels the energy.
