Born in 1990 Abhinav Bothra is a Magician & Mentalist from Kolkata, India. Just like every other kid, he too had a fascination for magic during his childhood days, but unlike many the fascination sustained within him while growing up.
Back in 2010 he took up this art seriously and actually started learning things rather than simply buying self-working props. Initially his focus was just on Card Magic but soon he also shifted his attention to Mentalism and it didn't take a long time since he started working as a semi-pro.
An admirer of Richard Osterlind, Banachek & Daniel Garcia, he is currently (2014) a Business Law student as well as a working Magician & Mentalist.
