Guest Appearance: Lior Suchard, mentalist

Lior Suchard

How has your work as a mentalist evolved over the last six years, since you performed in Mumbai?
I have been traveling a lot. I've done two television shows, one for National Geographic scheduled for a February launch and another one called Gone Mental with Suchard. I've created new acts for a new level of astonishment.

What do you like about Mumbai?
I love to fly to Mumbai. I love the food there. I love the people and energy. The Marine Drive (Queen's Necklace) offers some of the best views of the city; it's mesmerising.

Are there any places you are looking to visit?
I perform in India; I have friends here, but I hardly get to see much [of it]. But, I would love to explore the markets.

What food do you like here and what are you going to try?
I am a little sensitive to spicy food. In Mumbai, non-spicy is still spicy for me. I love the savoury, fried triangles (samosa) that seem unhealthy but I can never resist them. They are served to me on small round paper plates. I also like the butter chicken from Copper Chimney since it is a little sweet and easy on my stomach.
