Egoa: Please tell us bout your magic. How you started? When? Is it your passion or career?
Magic is a art of illusion, It is about doing something that is impossible and close up magic or street magic is the hardest one. I was always passionate about magic. I once saw Criss Angel levitating in the air. It baffled me ,it bowled me over so i thought if he can do it why can't I? But due to my studies I never tried it. But one day I saw Ugesh Sarcar's third degree (on UTV Bindass) and my friends said it was awesome. Every body in my class talked about him. So i got an idea to become a hero in front of my peer group and I started doing magic. I started 1 year ago but I improved my magic in the last six months.
It is my passion and not my career. I am so passionate about it that I try to do magic every time and everywhere.
Egoa: Who is your inspiration and who is your guruji?
My inspiration is Criss Angel but the man who triggered me into magic is Ugesh Sarcar. I learn magic from every magician. I learn from their performances. However Criss Angel is like Drona to me. I have never met him but he is my guru and I try to do all his magic.
Egoa: What are your future plans?
I just want to vanish a elephant like Criss Angel. I know how it is done but I want to show it to everyone. I am trying to make my own tv show for the past two years but it hasn't worked yet.
Egoa: What is your connection with Goa? Would you like to hold a show in Goa?
My dad has been transferred to almost all states in this country. I lived in Goa for two years. Now I'm in Ludhiana but I admire Goa. Life is a show and this World is a stage and Goa is a beautiful part of this stage. So every artist wants to perform in such a beautiful place if I get a chance, I will definitely hold a show in Goa.
Egoa: Which is the most crazy thing you have done? Why you call that the most crazy among all your other tricks? Please attach video link here.
The most crazy thing I have done is levitating (flying in the air) and quick change. Levitating is something that is our own Indian art and which is against the law of physics.
Quick change when I have done this everybody was amazed because I changed 10 clothes within a blink of an eye. Here is a link of quick change:

Egoa: Wat is the wackiest comment you ever got from your audience?
The most wackiest comment was when my Physics Sir said that there must be some magnet in a playing card when i levitated it, I was amazed because nothing can levitate with the help of magnet. It is impossible. Here is a video link of card levitation

Egoa: Tell us more about your struggling days?.. Was it an easy job?
Life is a battle and one has to struggle throughout life so it doesn't matter to me. It is very difficult to do close up magic in India because it is not popular here and my mother is a typical Indian types, she always stops me from doing magic so I have problem in learning it and doing it. She used to say 'najar laga denge' and all that so I practiced magic hiding it from her.
Egoa: How you perceive this as a career opportunity in today's world?
Magic and especially close up magic has great scope as a career in today's world. People book big magicians for parties, shows, and for entertainment. Nowadays many TV shows have started in India also and I am sure new will come soon
Egoa: What role does media play in your field or rather in your life?
This is my first interview so thanks to you. Lets see how does it affect me?..
