Abhinav Bothra

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.

Mammoth Tear by Abhinav Bothra

Mammoths used to be animals immense in size and power - and Mammoth Tear delivers exactly that and more.

This is a two-step center tear where you have the 'option' to cleanly show both the front and back of the folded paper - with absolutely nothing suspicious to see. It's bold, deceptive, and incredibly fair.

Not ready to peek right away? No problem. Mammoth Tear features a clever design that lets you steal the center with ease. It also allows you to open it with a single hand, the right side up, always - giving you complete control over the timing.

The ability to access someone's...

ESPerience X by Abhinav Bothra

A three-phase in-hand routine that lets your audience experience what it feels like to be a mentalist with a jaw-dropping kicker they never see coming.

PHASE I - GUT FEELING
You show five cards, each bearing a different ESP symbol. After mixing them face down, you ask the participant to point to one of the symbols. Astonishingly, they choose exactly the symbol you named. (You hand all five cards to the participant.)

PHASE II - MIND READER
You secretly draw one of the ESP symbols on a card and the participant reads your mind and accurately guesses which one you drew. (The card with...

Absolute Clarity by Abhinav Bothra

A quick and easy packet trick for those with analytical minds. An envelope containing a prediction is introduced, along with seven cards, each displaying a different number. You explain that there is something written behind each card, but that will be revealed later.

The cards are then arranged in two rows - one with four cards and the other with three. The participant is asked to eliminate one of the rows, and you turn over the cards in that row, revealing that you had predicted which row they would choose.

Next, the participant pairs one card from the remaining row with any other...

Automatic Prediction by Abhinav Bothra

21st century playing card prediction.

The performer caught without props, grabs a piece of paper and writes down a prediction, which is entrusted to an audience member for safekeeping. He explains that he anticipated such a situation, recounting how he shuffled a deck of cards weeks ago, then dealt them one by one on a table while being filmed.

He proceeds to play the recorded video, demonstrating how it can be paused and resumed. He holds his cell phone with the screen facing down. A participant pauses the video at any point, and flips the phone over to reveal a playing card on the screen....

Flow of Events:

Accurate by Abhinav Bothra

An impromptu version of the classic 'Free Will' combined with a short and simple reading that makes it unforgettable.

While the performer is looking away, three borrowed objects - 2 currency notes and a coin, are hidden one under each hand and one inside a card box or a match box. The performer turns back and deduces the location of each of those objects based on the vibe the participant emits and what a stranger (performer) would think of him/her.

  • Easy to do
  • Uses borrowed objects
  • Allows you to hand out business cards

Self-Working CAAN by Abhinav Bothra

An effortless CAAN that the audience performs for themselves.

The fingers left extended (say 2 and 1) forms the number (they get to choose 2 & 1 becomes 21 or 12) The participant opens up the pack of playing cards, deals the cards down (face up or face down doesn't matter). The card at their number matches the card you predicted (written on a paper before performance)

Audacious ACAAN by Abhinav Bothra

An ACAAN for stage and parlor performers.

In short: The performer asks 3 participants to name a suit, a number and a value. Next invites one of the participants to deal down the cards. And like it should be, the named card lies at the named number.

Here are the details:

1. The performer asks an audience member (1st participant) to name a suit. The participant does so.

2. Next, the performer moves towards the 2nd participant to name a number (value) between 1 and 10 he unboxes the deck. But then he suddenly remembers that he needs to give out a notepad and pen to record the choices...

The Fortuitous ACAAN by Abhinav Bothra

A virtually self-working ACAAN with plenty of audience involvement.

We all know whenever the audience tries to reverse engineer or recreate a trick and fail at it; they conclude with a common statement - He must have done something sneaky.

A deck gets shuffled by 4 people while 3 other people decide on the Number, Value and Suit. The shuffled deck gets collected and the cards get dealt face-up and the...

Caantastic by Abhinav Bothra

For decades magicians are on a quest to perform Any Card At Any Number from a borrowed and shuffled deck; which isn't always possible so they often settle for Card At Any Number.

The problem is that Card At Any Number when presented as a one-time feat can be mistaken as a co-incidence or the skill of the performer which takes away the feeling of it being pure magic. Caantastic counters just that by creating a mother of all co-incidences moment for the audience. Card At Any Number not just once or twice but thrice and when it happens the third time it dilutes any skepticism and evokes the...
