🎭 The Man Behind the Mystery
Where Wonder Meets Influence
A speaker of choice for Fortune-500 companies, Nakul Shenoy has delivered high-impact experiences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the UK, and the USA.
For over two decades, he has transcended the stage, pioneering a unique form of corporate entertainment that blends the art of magic with the science of psychology to connect, engage, and inspire audiences on a deeper level.
🎩 From Comic Books to Global Stages: The Mandrake Inspiration
Nakul Shenoy was merely five years old when he found his calling in the comic book superhero ‘Mandrake The Magician’. By fifteen, he was performing magic at large social gatherings, taking his first steps toward a lifelong dream.
Three decades on, this ace mentalist and hypnotist enthrals audiences as only he can, progressing steadily in his childhood quest to become “a real-life Mandrake”. That early inspiration sparked a fundamental question: What if the principles of magic and mystery could be used not for deception, but as a powerful lens to understand human connection, decision-making, and the subtle art of persuasion?
This philosophy is the thread that connects every keynote, workshop, and performance — transforming mystery from a spectacle into a strategic tool for genuine engagement.

✨ Off Stage: Collector of Mysteries, Books, & Teas
When the stage lights dim, my pursuit of wonder continues in quieter ways. A compulsive reader and self-proclaimed tea connoisseur, you’ll often find me deep in the archives of magic history, unearthing forgotten tales of the craft, or lost in a book on behavioural psychology, searching for the threads that connect theory to real-world influence.
This offstage work is essential—it’s in these moments of quiet study that the best ideas are born. Because the most profound mysteries, and the most genuine connections, often happen when the spotlight is off.
