- Abracadabra!
Beware – this young magician is on the prowl on the city streets. He can make coins and ATM cards disappear from your wallets, burn your hard-earned money and pluck out cards – nine in a row – from thin air.
That’s not all. He picks you out from any crowd or even a petrol pump, asks you to write down the name of your favourite person on a paper, burns it and smears the ash on the inside of his forearm – and hey presto – you see the name printed there.
And as you stand there with a mix of awe and joy, he tips his hat and moves on to the next trick. He borrows a 100-rupee note from an unsuspecting victims, gets his signature on the note and burns it without a care. While the victim begins to simmer in fury, he just goads him into picking an orange from the nearby fruit stall. He cuts open the orange – and there is the signed 100-rupee note inside, nice and dry.
But his magician on the street does not have primitive pets like owls, toads or black cats or loud sophisticated props like those used on the stage. Sans the magician’s garb, want and all the paraphernalia, he looks like any other person on the road. He is Nipin Niravath.
No magical quill detected his birth at a tiny town in Kottayam. When he grew up, there was no Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at Koottikkal for him to go. And he never had an Albus Dumbledore or Rubeus Hagrid as a teacher.
All the tricks that he did bubbled up from his brain. “I used to watch magicians perform and tried to do the same at home. Many a time I failed, but when I succeeded, I was on top of the world,” recalls Nipin.
So on trick followed the other and soon he was confident to stage some of his tricks. It was his schoolmates at St. George High School, was first witnessed his tricks with match-box labels and shredded threads.
In his thirteen years of magical life, he moved on from stage magic to table-top magic, illusion magic and then great escape tricks like the handcuff escapes, great fire escape act and the water-torture act.
But now, street magic is his passion. “That is the riskiest of all magic. On a stage the audience gets to see just one side, the rest three can be manipulated by a magician. Street magic is a 3-D feat and you have to be very alert,” says Nipin.
His favourite haunts in the city are the Shanghumukham beack, Kovalam, Veli and the Museum grounds. His Sunday evenings are always magical, performing tricks for the local crowd. Say ‘Vinguardium Leviosa’ and he would stand eight inches above ground.
But he never takes a penny from anyone for his performance. “My idea is to create an awarness among the public so that they don’t fall for godman and other cheats who use magic to pretend that they divine or superhuman powers,” says Nipin. “In my native place lots of housewives have been cheated like this by fraud sanyasis”, he adds. And so, his magic shows are titled ‘Magic – the art and science of it’.
The World Environment Day celebrations on June 14 saw Nipin perform the New Indian Mango Trick at Kowdiar Square. He planted a mango seed in a small pot, and for 15 minutes he played in ‘Makudi’. In all of the 15 minutes, the seedling broke out of the seed, developed roots, shoot, stem, branches, leaves and finally a mango. As the audience sat dumfounded, Nipin cut the mango and distributed it.
“It’s just magic,” he says. He said the same after stabling his had with a penknife and transporting the blood to the viewer’s hand.
Nipin was the first Keralite to do the great first escape act after being tied with an 82-ft long chain and 38 locks. Was he ever nervous before such risky shows? “No, the anxiety always happens for the audience, not the magician”, he says.
Nipin is a self-taught magician, alright. But isn’t there anyone who would have inspired him or encouraged him? “Definitely, I always admired P. M. Mithra as a magician. As for encouragement, the greatest support has come form my colleague Rajesh,” he says. Nipin is a designer at ADD Arts Developing Designing, a firm floated by Rajesh.
