I bring the magic to your table, not just the stage. Whether it is cards, coins, or your own phone, I make the impossible happen right in your hands.

About this collection
Unlike stage shows where you watch from afar, this is about the impossible happening right in your hands. I move through your crowd, performing sleight of hand with cards, coins, and even your own smartphones. Since there are no stage requirements, it is perfect for cocktail hours or office mixers where you want people to talk and laugh rather than just sit and watch.
How Close-Up Magic Works
Think of this as a mini-show for every group I visit. I don't need a mic or a spotlight. I walk from table to table or mingle during high-tea, making sure everyone gets a front-row seat to the action.
Why it works for your event
- It's a Conversation Starter: When I perform the 'Kissing Card' trick or pull a surprise from a guest's pocket, the ice breaks instantly. It is great for networking events where people might be feeling shy.
- It's Interactive: This isn't just me talking at you. You pick the card, you sign the bill, and you hold the coins.
- Digital Magic: For the modern crowd, I incorporate tech. I use phones to hack passwords (safely, of course) or predict digital choices.
The 'Namma Bengaluru' Vibe
I keep the performance relaxed. If it fits the crowd, I mix in Kannada patter and local jokes. Nimmage nanna phone password enadru gottidya? (Do you happen to know my phone password?) — these are the moments that create real, shared memories.
Practical Details
- No Setup Needed: I don't require stages, audio systems, or fancy lights.
- Flexibility: I can perform in a suit for a formal corporate dinner or something more casual for a private party or festive gathering.
- Duration: Typically, I work in 60 to 90-minute blocks, allowing me to cover a larger number of guests effectively.

Hey, I am Nikhil. I grew up with magic in my blood thanks to my father, and for the last decade, I have been making jaws drop across Bengaluru. I am not here to hide behind smoke and mirrors; I want to look you in the eye, perform a trick a few inches away, and see that look of total disbelief. Let's make your next event a little more wonder-filled.
