Purple Background. Person on the right is holding onto an Indian Passport. There's a Purple Bar over his eyes, like a "redacted" identity. On the left is text: "I want to be The World's Greatest Magician".
People are seated around a table. On the head of the table is the magician. He has an obviously fake moustache on as he's taking you through a card trick.

I want to be the World's Greatest Magician

What happens when your biggest obstacle isn't mastering the craft, It's convincing the world you deserve to practice it at all?

Singing national anthems you don't know the words to. Customs agents demanding tricks at 3am. Visas that expire right when you're catching your breath.

Through torn cards, restored threads, and balls that won't stay in your hand, this show asks: Where do you go when you don't fit anywhere? When you feel like an artist among marketers, a magician among artists, and completely alone among magicians?

You'll laugh at the absurdity. You'll rage at the injustice. And hopefully, you'll leave believing that marching forward is the only option left.

Here's a raw look at what it takes to become someone the world wasn't expecting.
