Dhayanithi to share modern conjuring

Champion's session for 61st PPC at Magic Academy on 10th Jan.


Thiruvananthapuram: Monthly Perfect Performer Course at the Magic Academy steps on to the 6th year in style. On 10th Jan., adding grandeur to the occasion would be a teaching class by Vismayam 2008 Grand Champion of Magic, Dhayanithi.

This young conjurer from Tamil Nadu, whose dream is to become the World’s No. 1 magician, will be sharing the latest tricks from the modern conjuring.

Mr. Dhayanithi, even as he flourishes with performances, has been an ardent learner of the art. He has once told VMN that practicing on new magic numbers had made several nights sleepless for him. During Vismayam 2008, his success was chiefly because of the consistency of performance at various rounds of competitions. He performed with exemplary energy and elegance during the final rounds to get an upper hand over his close contestants.

The grace of this promising young magician will be lighting up the upcoming PPC session. Rays of knowledge emanating from his resourceful brain would add radiance of magical knowledge. Dhayanithi’s magic show will be held at 6pm under the auspices of the MAAAT, the alumni association.

Dhayanithi aims at becoming the world’s no.1
