Meet the ‘psychological illusionist’ Karan Singh, who has shocked audiences across the world with his mind-boggling tricks

From reading minds to baffling an audience with his card tricks, Karan Singh can do it all. This boy from Delhi has managed to expand his fan base far and wide. In fact, popular illusionist Derren Brown complimented Karan on his abilities as an illusionist. His response to one of Karan’s many tricks was, “I have absolutely no idea how you did that.” Earlier this year, Karan held his first solo commercial performance in New Delhi, which was a great success. The show was also India’s first ever one-man mind-reading show. With many tricks up his sleeve, we’re sure Karan Singh is all set to go places, entertaining his audience along the way.
