It was a magic filled Sunday as Rahul Kharbanda, a Delhi based magician, enthralled the audience through his magic tricks at a mall in Whitefield.
The show lasted an hour and featured tricks that were fairly innovative and original. The audience was bewitched by the performance.
The performer, in turn, interacted with the spectators, involving them in the show.
The show included conventional magic tricks, such as levitation and cutting a person, but each with a distinctive style unique to Kharbanda. In one of the acts, he gave halos to three girls and changed the colour of halos.
Another had him performing tricks through the sleeves of a jacket worn by a small child. The look of confusion on the little kid, followed by awe was hilarious.
The wonderous look on the children’s faces, and their glee was definitely a sight to behold, transforming a routine Sunday evening into a joyful event.
Rahul Kharbanda, who belongs to a family of performing magicians, has performed on the television show Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and also India’s Magic Star, amongst thousands of other performances in schools and corporations, in a career spanning 10 years.
A self-proclaimed illusionist, he’s a member of the Indian brotherhood of magicians and a street magician.
He firmly believes that one does not need special props to perform magic, and loves teaching children magic shows claiming that it increases their creative output.
