Manipulators is an up close magic act of manipulation and misdirection presented by Simon Coronel and Vyom Sharma.

The close up magic is involved and with the performers sleeves rolled up keeps you guessing to how they manage to do it.

The storytelling telling element is strong about the detailed intricacies of how misdirection works.

The personalities of Vyom and Simon are generous and engaging and a big part about what makes the show watchable, there is no pretentiousness or trying to impress but a great ease to the show and the well executed magic.
