He took part in the general magic and shocked the audience in the final round of the performance by becoming invisible on stage
at Arcachion in France, Thayanidhi said.Explaining the difference, Dhayaa said that normally the magician made the objects invisible, but “I became invisible during the performance,” thus making India proud, he said.
