Suhani Shah Became First Indian To Win ‘Oscar for Magicians’ at FISM 2025
In a landmark achievement for India’s performing arts, mentalist Suhani Shah from Rajasthan has become the first Indian to win the ‘Best Magic Creator 2025’ award at the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM)—popularly known as the Oscars for magicians. The award was presented at the prestigious FISM World Championship held in Torino, Italy, recognizing her excellence in the online category of magic.
The FISM World Championship of Magic is an international competition organized every three years by the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques. Founded in 1948, FISM is considered the highest global platform for magicians, showcasing the best talents across multiple categories such as stage magic, close-up magic, and online magic.
Suhani Shah’s win is significant as it marks India’s first victory in this globally recognized platform. Competing against renowned performers like Jack Rhodes (UK), Jason Ladanye (US), Jason Maher (Australia), and Mohammed Imani (Dubai), her triumph underlines the rising stature of Indian magicians in global circuits.
Suhani Shah began her journey in magic at the age of six, and by seven, she had dropped out of school to pursue her passion full-time. She performed her first show before the then Gujarat CM Shankersinh Vaghela. Her performances today blend psychology, storytelling, and human behavior, making her one of the most followed mentalists online. This award cements her role as a trailblazer for Indian women in magic.
