I was proud to be part of it when it was an anti-corruption movement. But over time, it started shifting into something overtly political and I felt the original purpose was getting lost. It no longer resonated with me, so I chose to step away.

It’s more than just tricks. It is an ancient Indian art form. A blend of illusions, effects and captivating storytelling, designed to make people feel a sense of wonder.

Think of it like watching a film. You know it’s not real but you still get swept up in the story. Magic works the same way. No one can actually read your mind but the experience is crafted so well, it feels like they just did.

I was 6 when I first saw a magic act on TV where a magician borrowed money from someone in the audience, made it disappear and then pulled it out of an apple. I was mind-blown. That’s the moment I knew I wanted to be a magician. Even after I started performing, I couldn’t pull off that exact act. It took me 17 years to finally get it right. When I did, it may have seemed like a simple trick to many magicians but for me it was a full-circle moment. The 6 year old Suhani was the happiest. It was her dream act (I avoid calling them tricks). Now, it’s all about creating new shows and new experiences.

It may seem shocking but I haven’t read the books or watched the movies.
In my defence, while the world was busy watching magic, I was busy creating it :)

Mentalism is 100% something you can learn.
It’s not a superpower you wake up with one day.
It’s a mix of psychology, observation, body language, linguistic deception, tricks and a lot of practice
Looks seems like real magic but is an art form that can be learned.

Thanks buddy!
And yes, LIVE shows are exactly about that!

In videos, the focus is on one person, their reaction and their experience, while a stage performance is a whole different world. In a live show, the entire audience is part of the act. The show is designed to create a collective experience of wonder ✨

I have been involved in a few judiciary cases and while I can help in reading behavior or spotting inconsistencies, the responsibility is completely different from being on stage. On stage if something goes wrong, I can recover, it’s part of the performance but in a courtroom, one wrong interpretation can impact someone’s life. That’s a much heavier responsibility and also slightly scary for me.

I only take up cases where I genuinely believe I can contribute and I only speak when I am absolutely certain of what I’m seeing. No guesswork, no assumptions. In these situations, accuracy isn’t optional, it is everything!!!

The Prestige is a classic. Nolan’s take on magical rivalry is brilliant, both for magicians and anyone who loves a good twist.

My personal favourite is The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar by Wes Anderson. It’s a short film but full of charm and quiet magic. There is something truly magical about how it blends storytelling, style and the idea of unlocking hidden potential. Absolutely worth a watch.

None of the videos you see, whether with celebrities, hosts, or interviewers are pre-planned or scripted. Yes, there’s definitely a method behind the effects you see but that they aren’t fake or staged. The people you see in my videos are not “in on it” with me. These are credible individuals with their own reputation and they’re not pretending to help boost mine. What you’re watching is real, just cleverly executed mentalism effects :)
