Our Beloved Mentor | Illusionist | Motivator | Social Changemaker

Our beloved mentor, Gopinath Muthukad, holds a special place in the heart of our journey. It was he who inaugurated our signature program, Secret of My Success, and proudly presented its very first edition — setting an inspiring tone for everything that has followed.

Hailing from Kerala, Muthukad is an Indian magician and motivational speaker who has mastered the rare art of using magic as a medium to convey meaningful messages to the public. His performances transcend entertainment; they are tools for education, awareness, and transformation.

Pioneering Contributions to Magic and Education

• Founder of The Academy of Magical Sciences — the world’s first magic academy.

• Founder of Magic Planet in Thiruvananthapuram — the world’s first magic museum.

• In 1995, became the first magician in the world to recreate Harry Houdini’s legendary 1904 escape act.

• Recipient of the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award in the same year.

Recognitions and Awards

• Winner of the International Merlin Award from the International Magicians’ Society.

• First Keralite to be honoured by UNICEF as a celebrity supporter for promoting child rights in Kerala.

• Awarded the Kerala Sree Award (2022), the third?highest civilian honour given by the Government of Kerala.

A Shift in Purpose

In 2021, Muthukad announced his retirement from professional magic shows. This decision marked the start of a new chapter — one focused on empowering the marginalised differently?abled community. Through this work, he continues to create wonder, but now in the form of opportunity, dignity, and inclusion.

A Legacy Beyond the Stage

From breathtaking illusions to transformative social missions, Gopinath Muthukad’s life has been defined by creativity, courage, and compassion. As our mentor, he stands not only as a master of magic, but as a master of inspiration — showing us that the most powerful magic is the kind that changes lives.
