Mahdi Gilbert (born 1989) is a Canadian professional sleight of hand card magician.
Early life
[edit | edit source]He was born without hands and feet and so had to individually create all of the techniques he employs in his illusions.[1][2]
Filmography
[edit | edit source]Gilbert appeared on the third season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. He performed a version of the card trick Oil and Water, which fooled Penn Jillette and Teller, granting him a trip to Las Vegas to appear for the duo's opening act.
Gilbert appeared in the documentary Our Magic, created by R. Paul Wilson.[3] He also contributed to the research of the book The Greatest German Living by Ricky Jay, which is about Matthias Buchinger, who was similarly born without hands or feet.[2]
In 2018 Mahdi appeared on the BBC series The One Show.
