Mind-boggling Mentalism

Engrossing, enigmatic: Magician Nipin Niravath has homeworked a lot before attempting his feat.

Thiruvananthapuram: Packed audience at the Vailopilly Samskriti Bhawavn here on 17th of April, was led to Mentalism, a branch of magic that has more mind-reading aspects than usual sleights of hands. Thanks to Nipin Niravath the young mentalist.

For around 60 minutes, audience including the Minister of Devaswom, Kadannappally Ramachandran; Soorya Krishnamoorthy and Honorary Director of the Magic Academy, R. Raja Moorthy were kept under Mr. Niravath’s spell. With the power of his eyes he could even bend a couple of stubborn iron rods and burst an incandescent bulb. Another audience member was at happy times to have the magician influence his mind and unearth pleasant days of his childhood.

Mr. Niravath’s careful selection of the backdrop, speech and music only made the event impressive. “It’s beyond words. Totally different kind of magical presentation I have ever seen”, was how the show was described by the Minister.

The act was held on 10th of April on the Kannanallur Panchayath grounds to begin the magician’s district tour on the occasion of the Kollam district turning 60 years.

Young magician’s yeoman service on Internet

Bangalore: Young magician, Philip Tiju Abraham, a former student of the Magic Academy uses to provide yeoman service for magicians by tapping the bounty of Internet.

To the latest, utilising his talents in the online world, he has come up with a brand new website, www.worldofmagicians.com for magicians in and out of the country.

The new site looks so friendly for the Mouse and pleasing for the eyes. A number of native magicians are already there. A good number of foreign magicians are expected to line up.

With his unflagging dedication, it won’t be a big job for Mr. Abraham to make his new venture a big success. His earlier endeavour, www.indianmagicians.com has completed 6 years.
