We meet the man who made the Burj Khalifa vanish
He has swallowed glass pieces, set himself on fire and made the grand Burj Khalifa disappear but 32-year-old Emirati Moein Al Bastaki is not a sorcerer: he’s a professional illusionist and mentalist. His work is good enough for the attention-grabbing city of Las Vegas and on par with that of his idol, David Copperfield. Yet he doesn’t have the crew and production team of the likes of Copperfield or Dynamo, nor does he have the facilities for creating magical stunts. Given that magic is still taboo in Arabia, often confused with sorcery, witchcraft and ‘real’ black magic, his story, full of passion, danger and the unexpected, is a pretty extraordinary one.
