Mahdi Moudini whips out head-turning tricks on a whim


Moudini lets a dove loose from a blank picture frame in true magician's style. — SAMUEL ONG/The Star

IRANIAN magician and illusionist, Mahdi Moudini, has made Malaysia his home for the past 20 years. In this time, he beat violinist Dennis Lau in a push up challenge, performed for local VIPS and royalty, and appeared for interviews on radio, television and print. And yes, he also made it into Datuk Kee Hua Chee’s high society lifestyle blog.

Though Mahdi’s bag of tricks has included turning a lion dance troupe into a horse, and making doves fly out of a burning book, one trick which has the audience eating out of his hand is transforming real ringgit notes into greenbacks.
