In this astonishing, thought provoking and lightly humorous show, Aakarsh takes us on a profound journey of birth, life and death, using modern day magic & mentalism effects which defy the laws of science. As we progress through each stage of life, he reveals how the illusion of life becomes more and more pleasing and compelling, making us more and more ignorant and forget who we actually are. Behind the veils of these pleasing and compelling illusions, lies darkness called attachment. Attachment to this Illusion, this Maya, this Matrix. As we approach the end of the show, it starts to become evident that we have become prisoners of this Matrix. A prison we created for ourselves through ignorance. This show will make you gasp in awe, laugh, touch you emotionally and maybe even make you cry!Each act performed by Aakarsh, is audience interactive and hence people will be called on stage to participate. You will witness wizardry and psychic demonstrations. Some acts are dangerous. They are performed by a professional under professional settings.
