“If you create that connection with your audience and find stories that make them feel in some way, that is a very reliable tool to have in your performance kit”

Vyom Sharma

effect sometimes tended to dominate his performance. Was this sustainable in the long run? “Yes, definitely,” claims Vyom. “In the long run people do not remember what they saw, what they heard or read, but they always remember what they felt. If you create that connection with your audience and find stories that make them feel in some way, that is a very reliable tool to have in your performance kit. There is something timeless about a good story,” he adds. Vyom’s upbringing as he terms it, was ‘very relaxed’. He was born in Delhi and his family migrated to Australia when he was 9. His father is an engineer and mother is a General Practitioner. He has a brother 18 months younger than him who is also a doctor. Initially they lived in Melbourne for three years, and then moved to Brisbane for five years. Vyom then returned to Melbourne to practice medicine, and is now based here with his family. “Nothing disgusts me more than the weather here, but I am sure there is no other place in the world where I would have been able to do what I have done. It is a great place to live in,” says this young Melbournian.

Vyom learnt his first magic trick when he was 17, and since then he was hooked. He has been performing magic in shows for the last three years and he intends to travel to Scotland and the US soon. At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this year he will perform with a friend in a show called Manipulated. He is aiming to also perform in New York in a regular Monday night show.

Like the young shepherd in The Alchemist, Vyom also yearns to travel on his magical journey, and he is obviously and passionately committed to claiming and living the life of his dreams - but today! At 24, this young magician has endless possibilities ahead of him, and he intends making the most of them.
