Meet the Magic Founder!
A brief message from Vidur!
I was an 8th grader when the Covid-19 pandemic paralyzed our world. Like everyone else, I too was adversely impacted by the sudden loss of personal interaction with friends and family. Fortunately, my passion for music (Alto Saxophone) and technology enabled me to launch Magic - as a means to remotely connect and collaborate with fellow artists from around the planet, engage and entertain diverse audiences, and raise funds to support our targeted beneficiaries!
Thus far, Magic has built a diverse global community of 100+ artistic performers, fondly referred to as Magicians, from different age groups, nationalities, cultures and genres. During the pandemic, the Magician community collaborated remotely to deliver entertaining content over online (youtube streams), and they now deliver in-person performances. Magicians from around the globe have consistently expressed gratitude for the stress relief and joy they experience, as a result of this opportunity to express themselves artistically, with the purpose of doing good! Similarly, we have engaged a global community of donors, sponsors and attendees across the US and India, who continue to generously donate their time and money to support our cause.
Creating a global community of Artists, Donors, Volunteers, Attendees, and Beneficiaries has been Magical!
