There’s something timeless and universal about magic. It captures wonder, curiosity, and the childlike joy of believing that anything is possible. In the spirit of nurturing young talent and celebrating Children’s Day, the Magicians’ Association Karnataka (MAK) is hosting a nationwide Online Children’s Magic Competition, inviting participants from across India to showcase their magical flair.
Proudly supported by Talentworld, a leading event management company from Bangalore, this initiative isn’t just a competition—it’s a celebration of imagination, performance, and the beautiful art of illusion.
The Magicians’ Association Karnataka: Preserving and Promoting the Art of Magic
Founded to foster community among magicians in Karnataka, the Magicians’ Association Karnataka (MAK) is a collective of illusionists, performers, and enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the centuries-old tradition of magic. The association encourages creativity, mentorship, and collaboration among professional and amateur magicians alike.
With members spanning diverse backgrounds, MAK provides a platform where knowledge, techniques, and ideas are freely exchanged. From stage magic and close-up tricks to innovative digital illusions, MAK supports artists in keeping this fascinating art form alive and evolving for future generations.
A Magical Opportunity for the Youth of India
This Children’s Day Special Online Magic Competition is an open invitation to all budding magicians below 18 years of age. Whether they’ve mastered the art of card tricks or have a knack for vanishing objects, young performers now have the chance to enchant audiences across the country.
Participants are required to submit a short video performance (between 1 to 4 minutes) showcasing their magic skills. Submissions are open until 10th November 2025, 6 PM, giving young magicians ample time to prepare and polish their routines.
And here’s the real treat—the top three winners will receive trophies, and every participant will receive a certificate of participation, encouraging them to continue their magical journey. Additionally, there are consolation prizes for standout performances, ensuring every child feels recognized and celebrated.
Talentworld: Spreading Joy Through Art and Entertainment
The prizes for this event are proudly sponsored by Talentworld, a name synonymous with creativity and celebration in Bangalore’s event scene. Founded by Mr. Uday Kanathur, a magician, juggler, ventriloquist, and visionary entrepreneur, Talentworld has been a pioneer in curating experiences that blend performance with purpose.
For over two decades, Talentworld has organized everything from birthday parties and corporate events to community celebrations and cultural performances, bringing joy to thousands. Their belief in nurturing talent and creating opportunities for artists—especially children—is what makes them a perfect partner for this initiative.
Talentworld’s association with MAK reflects its broader vision of empowering artists and inspiring young performers. As Mr. Uday himself embodies, art isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about confidence, creativity, and connection.
Why Magic Matters: The Joy of Performing and Learning
Performing magic is more than just mastering tricks—it’s an art that develops confidence, communication skills, stage presence, and problem-solving. For children, it’s a beautiful way to enhance focus, creativity, and self-expression.
Each sleight of hand teaches patience and precision, while every act of illusion inspires curiosity and imagination. Magic performances also encourage empathy—learning how to engage an audience, evoke emotions, and share joy.
For the participants of this competition, it’s not just about winning; it’s about discovering the magician within. It’s about that priceless moment when an audience gasps in awe, or a child’s eyes light up because they just made something “disappear.”
Building a Future of Young Magicians
The MAK competition aims to build a supportive environment where young magicians can shine. It’s also an effort to remind parents, educators, and communities that performing arts like magic deserve encouragement and recognition.
By organizing such events, Magicians’ Association Karnataka hopes to ignite a movement—one where young minds use creativity as their wand and imagination as their greatest spell. These children may be the next generation of performers who will take Indian magic to new heights.
A National Stage for Every Young Performer
With entries invited from all over India, this competition is a chance for kids from every corner of the country—big cities, small towns, and rural areas—to step into the spotlight. The online format ensures accessibility and inclusivity, allowing every child to participate regardless of location.
Imagine a little magician from a village in Assam or a young performer from Kerala wowing audiences with a trick they learned from YouTube and perfected in their bedroom. This competition bridges those distances, creating a virtual stage where dreams can take flight.
