It's everything. Enakellam enna feel aaguthunna, evvalavu konja naal irukka porom ellarum (Sometimes I feel like, we're all here for just a short time), so I choose to collect memories, not money. These lectures and workshops are for anyone who feels the same way about magic - serious students who want more than tricks. ### Why I Teach People always ask how to become a magician. Honestly, I still don't have a straight answer. After 3000+ shows in 20+ countries, I've found that it's a lonely, tough path with no guidebook. I share my journey because I want to pass on the real secrets - stuff you won’t find in a YouTube tutorial. ### What We Dive Into Sessions cover a mix of technique, deep theory, and the philosophy behind magic. - In the close-up magic workshop, we break down my own coin and card work, focusing on mechanics and psychology. - For mentalism training for magicians, we look at the structure and ethical side of psychological illusion, not just mind-reading. - We talk performance theory for illusionists: misdirection, stage presence, and why relentless practice matters to me. ### Cruise Ship Diaries & Real Talk I’ve performed on cruise ships like Carnival - it's wild, with its own rules. I share everything: the high points, the disasters, the stuff nobody tells you. If you dream of performing at sea, you’ll get the real picture. ### Community Over Competition The path is tough, but these meet-ups are our space to connect, jam, and grow. Nalla iruppom, santhoshama iruppom, jaaliya iruppom (Let's be good, happy, and jolly). For me, it’s about building a community of magicians, not just sharpening skills. ## Highlights Browse through Vivek Ranjit's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/vivek_magic/lectures-workshops-for-magicians/featured) - [Video: People ask how to become a magician.

He came to Bangalore at 16, just a bag and big dreams from a tiny Tamil Nadu village. Worked, studied, never gave up. After 44 years, still the same honest man. I guess I got my vibe from him. Panam venumna sir, yetho vazharathukaga sambathikalam. Aana sambathichukitte irukarathukaga vaazhnthida kudathu sir. I’ve done magic in 20+ countries, cruise ships, big halls, small rooms. At the end, it’s just you and your memories. Mine? Magic. ### My work - **Mentalist and Magician**: I do close-up magic, mind-reading magic, and interactive stage illusions for all kinds of events. - **Interactive Experience**: It’s never just watching. I mix Tamil, Kannada, English, and maybe steal your watch for fun. - **Magic Philosophy**: Magic isn’t just for kids. Selvathul selvam sevichelvam... Listen close, that’s where real magic hides. - **Impossible Moments**: Guessing your phone password, making things appear, or psychological magic tricks - I want you to remember. ## More services from Vivek Ranjit - [Stage Magic & Mentalism Show](https://mytribe.in/vivek_magic/stage-magic-mentalism-show) · ₹40K-1.8L per show (estimate) - [Close-Up & Strolling Magic](https://mytribe.in/vivek_magic/close-up-strolling-magic) · ₹15-40K per hour (estimate) ## Book To book Vivek Ranjit, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Lectures%20%26%20Workshops%20for%20Magicians%20by%20Vivek%20Ranjit.)
