Akshay Patil is a professional magician based out of Margao, Goa. Born in 1992, Akshay took an interest in the art of magic at the age of six when his father taught him a magic trick. From that day on, he was hooked on this art form. He has immersed himself in magic as well as a multitude of art forms, from music to mysticism. Akshay began honing his skills in the conjuring arts, and within a few years began performing shows, first for tips and later for a fee. His first paid gig was at the age of 12, at a friend's birthday party. As a teenager, he performed as a magician at birthday parties, night clubs, and private events. He is the youngest person ever admitted to the Society of Indian Magicians.
