Beyond live events, I bring my magic to the screen. I worked as a magic consultant for the web series Loot Kaand, ensuring the illusions looked as real on camera as they do in person.

About On Set with "Loot Kaand"

Making magic look good on camera is not the same as performing live. On the set of Loot Kaand, I had to choreograph illusions that worked from specific camera angles, which meant adjusting my usual stage tricks so the magic happened exactly where the lens was pointing. It taught me that real screen magic is about precise timing and controlled lighting, not just the sleight of hand.
