People keep calling my magic a scam, so I prove them wrong. From blindfolded deals to random spectator decks, here is how 15 years of hard work looks when you actually put it to the test.

A hater told me to use a different deck besides the usual red and blue ones. So I took a unique deck and, despite my "powers" being in the other cards, I managed to arrange the entire deck in matching pairs.

"You don't even shuffle the cards," a 'chutiya' commented. So I made sure to shuffle the cards extra clearly, even asking them to listen to the shuffle, before producing the four aces and arranging the deck in new deck order.

Someone claimed I use trick cards of different sizes. I proved them wrong by showing the even deck and then locating all four aces with precise cuts, where even one card off would have failed the trick.

"You always deal from the bottom," a hater said. So I had my wife deal the cards for a game of Teen Patti, and I still got the winning aces, proving it's skill, not where you deal from.

A troll called me a fraud and dared me to do it live. That's exactly why I'm doing my live show in Delhi. Come and see the skills for yourself.

A hater challenged me to control all the hearts in the deck, not just one or two cards. I did that, and then for good measure, I showed I had also controlled and sorted all the other suits too.

"All your cards are the same," another classic comment. I prove them wrong once again by tracking the aces through multiple shuffles and then revealing the entire deck is in new deck order.

"You use magical cards," a viewer claimed, challenging me to use a sealed deck. I opened a brand new, sealed deck for the first time and immediately controlled the four kings to the top.

"It's all because of your black mat," someone commented. So I removed the mat and still dealt myself three aces in a game of Teen Patti. It's not the mat, it's the magic.

"You never shuffle," they said again. So I had my wife shuffle the deck, select a card, and I located her exact card at the 31st position, proving my control even with someone else's shuffle.
