iTricks stumbled across this clip on YouTube featuring Princess Tenko from a 1994 Japanese program called Tango. We do not know anything about this show, but we do know that we do not get to see enough Princess Tenko in the United States. If the 1994 air date is correct, this performance was right before her most successful foray into American television, her Saban (the folks that brought the US the Power Rangers) cartoon Princess Tenko and the Guardians of Magic (and accompanying toy line).

Indonesian magic duo Make Me Power was backstage at TV channel RCTI’s studios performing for celebs including singer Ayu Ting Ting.

Magician Vignesh Prabhu, the flying man of India, shared this clip from Sun TV’s news which features him flying over several spectators. We believe the clip to be in Tamil and honestly have no idea what is being said. Given the high production values, we are assuming this was produced for a TV special or series.
Illusionist Neel Madhav visited the NDTV studios recently to talk about the state of magic in India and more. Need is also the host of his own NDTV show called You Got Magic.
In America, we have NFL player Jon Dorenbos and he might not be the only pro athlete out there making magic his side hustle. Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer was recently on the Zoom network and was outed as a magician by another player, so he demonstrated his skills.
This clip of an unidentified young lady performing in a magic competition in Delhi earlier this year was posted by the Indian Brotherhood of Magicians, who hosted the event. They have more clips on their YouTube page.
