The illusion that magic manifests before our eyes is unbelievable. Everyone is intrigued by magic and wonders how it evolved to be. And as a result of this fascination, Akshay Laxman Sharma, popularly known as Akshay Laxman, the renowned Indian mentalist and magician, was made.
Akshay Laxman, born in the city of dreams Mumbai, has always had an affinity with illusion. Over time, his enthusiasm with the art deepened, and he eventually began reading books about it. He started learning the craft of storytelling through movies so he could weave it into his magic feats. In addition to his amazing skills, Akshay has a psychology degree. He can read minds. Both of these attributes set Akshay apart from other magicians and make him the finest in his domain. He is recognised as a mentalist with the ability to read minds and create delusions like magic.
When did Akshay Laxman started his career?
However, every success, no matter how big or small, comes after a hardship. Akshay too went through a challenging period in the onset of his career while endeavoring to establish a reputation as a mentalist. After his father, the family’s only source of income, suffered a serious heart attack, Akshay began his work at the youthful age of 19. Beginning with small performances, he used the earnings he made from his gigs to help support his family. And following that point in his life, he did not look backward. Soon, he was given the opportunity to join the US-based Carnival Cruise ship, where he delivered more than 150 events.
He returned to Mumbai after a year and attempted his fortune in Bollywood. Akshay eventually found his big break on India’s Got Talent after two years of job hunting. He gave a performance in front of Malaika Arora, Kirron Kher, and Karan Johar. Despite the fact that Akshay was unable to succeed in the show, Karan Johar was enamored by his talent. One day, he received a call asking him to perform for Aamir Khan. It was Karan Johar who gave Aamir, Akshay’s number and commended his show. Aamir and his family praised Akshay Laxman after seeing his performance. Later, Aamir gave Akshay a video testimonial that radically altered his life.
