Suhani Shah scripts history with big win at World Magic Championship
Suhani becomes the first Indian and one of the few women ever to be honoured in this category. This year, FISM introduced a new category—Digital Magic—acknowledging artists who innovate using social media platforms. With over 4.5 million YouTube subscribers and 2.1 million Instagram followers, Suhani has not only embraced digital mediums but also redefined magic for the online age.
Her performances, blending mentalism, psychological insight, and storytelling, outshone competitors from over 50 countries, including acclaimed artists like Jack Rhodes, Jason Ladanye, and Mohammad Imani. From reading passcodes to revealing personal secrets during live sessions, her acts left a lasting impact on the jury and audiences alike.
Born in Udaipur, Suhani began performing magic at age seven, supported by her father. Despite dropping out of school after first grade, she pursued her passion, later becoming a hypnotherapist and author of Unleash Your Inner Power.
'Being recognised at FISM is an honour. It's a win for Indian magic and women everywhere,' said Suhani after her win.
With jurors like Dynamo, Chris Ramsay, and Xavier Mortimer, Suhani's achievement highlights India's growing presence in global digital entertainment and magical innovation.

‘I wasn't supposed to feel gareeb in India': Dubai vlogger left shocked after Rs 1,000 chai in Mumbai
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger has gone viral for something most NRIs can relate to — the shock of returning home and finding India anything but 'cheap.' Parikshit Balochi, a radio presenter and content creator, recently posted a candid Instagram video about how the cost of living back home has left him stunned. His witty yet exasperated rant, especially about a cup of tea that set him back Rs 1,000, has already crossed half a million his video, Balochi confessed that earning in dirhams always gave him the impression that India would be his playground for carefree spending. 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said, sounding equal parts amused and frustrated. But instead of feeling wealthy, the inflated bills in Mumbai hotels and cafés have made him rethink the entire NRI privilege. Nothing captured his disbelief better than the price of a humble cup of tea. 'Rs 1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he explained that the unspoken 'deal' NRIs had with India was simple — come home, convert dirhams to rupees, and live like royalty. He said that converting dirhams into rupees was supposed to make him feel richer, not leave him shocked. Instead of showing off his wealth, he now jokes that he might actually need flexible payment plans just to survive the a mix of satire and genuine worry, Balochi ended his rant by pointing out how much money locals must be managing to spend daily. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas,' he said, marvelling at how residents navigate this reality.
