Kid Magic Tricks

Kid Magic Tricks Biography
Indian and international speakers from different sectors, including academics, business and entertainment, addressed school students in the age-group of 13-18 from different schools in Delhi on the topic of 'relentless curiosity' at a TEDx Youth talk event.

Israeli mentalist Lior Suchard (30) drove the audience to frenzy with his 'supernatural' tricks. Lior randomly chose a 17-year-old student from the audience to play a magic game with him. While he made the boy think of his first crush, with eyes closed, Lior wrote the girl's name on a board. He then asked the boy to speak her name aloud. The boy couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that Lior had written the girl's name correctly even before he had revealed it. This was one of the many mind tricks that Lior performed at the event.

Lior is known to bend spoons with his eyes, read minds 'like people read newspapers' and influence people's thoughts. He was once a shy kid who also suffered from an attention deficit disorder. "I still suffer from an attention disorder. I think of too many different things at the same time. But that also made me realize that I have the power to focus deeply on things and that gives me the power to read people," said Lior. "Shrinks, scientists, doctors and all kinds of sceptics have checked me and found no answers. But I know I can do impossible things because I believe in myself."

Ethan Brown (12), an eighth grader from Bethel, near New York, also cast a spell on the audience, but with maths. While most students of his find maths rather tough, Brown likes to have fun with it. He holds the world record for reciting from memory 2012 digits of the number tau and has raised over 3000 dollars for his town library. In no time he made a magic number square, with numbers given by the audience - but every row, column and diagonal added up to the same number. "I just love doing maths. Though I make mistakes on my shows sometimes, I like solving a problem in different ways. My teachers are also very encouraging," said Ethan. He was joined by his inspiration, Arthur Benjamin, professor of maths at Harvey Mudd College and a 'mathemagician' who also showed the audience some unbelievable maths tricks. "I think schools are very rigid in the way they teach maths. Children need to be exposed to the fun side of maths. I feel maths is a very creative subject that can be like a beautiful symphony or a poem when understood properly," added Benjamin.

Jordan Casey (13) from Ireland is the youngest European app developer. He has developed three games which are commercial projects and many others that are very popular among kids. "I was using a mac book and, hence, it was easier for me to develop programmes on IOS. I am selftaught and learnt writing codes from books and websites," says Casey, who already earns a handsome remuneration with his finances being managed by his parents who are accountants. He is a member of Coder-Dojo, a global collaboration that provides free learning to young people in programming technology. "My catch phrase is 'making coding cool'. Many youngsters like me find programming very cool. I just hope it's included in school curriculum " adds Casey.
