What Will He Teach?

Join me for an intimate close-up card magic performance featuring some of my most impactful routines:

• Two Card Transposition
• Ambitious Card
• Triumph
• Card to Pocket
• Oil and Water

At the start, the audience knows little about me, both personally and as a magician. I understand the importance of making a strong first impression to captivate their attention. I begin with a striking piece of card magic that draws them in, gradually inviting them into my world where the ordinary fades away. In this realm, playing cards come alive, secrets are unveiled, and the impossible becomes reality. We transition from strangers to a connected audience, sharing unforgettable experiences.

Who Is He?

Mahdi Gilbert is a Canadian sleight-of-hand card magician who was born without hands or feet. He gained recognition on the third season of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” where he successfully fooled the duo, earning a spot as their opening act in Las Vegas. Mahdi was featured in the documentary “Our Magic” and contributed to the research for “The Greatest German Living” by the late Ricky Jay, which explores the life of Matthias Buchinger, a magician born in 1674, also without hands or feet.

Mahdi has redefined the art of magic, demonstrating that a deck of cards can be manipulated in extraordinary ways. He performs miraculous feats without hands, walks the Earth without feet, and serves as an inspiration to all who encounter him. A unique blend of charm and skill, Mahdi shuffles without fingers and proves that anything is possible.
