What is mentalism?
Mentalism is a form of entertainment that involves the manipulation of the mind and perception. It is often referred to as the art of mind reading and involves techniques such as hypnosis, suggestion, and able to perform seemingly supernatural feats, such as reading thoughts and predicting future.
While talking about his journey, Arya Chandel said, “It has been 15 years and the journey has been incredible. Whatever I am today and whatever I have learned is because of this journey. The entire credit goes to my parents, who supported me throughout. My parents are visionaries, since when I told them at the age of 6 that I wanted to do magic, they said ‘not at birthdays or school parties, will you practice it on stage?’ I was like okay. They were visionaries, which is why I am where I am today.”
