Ugesh Sarcar is an Indian illusionist, mentalist, and author. He is known for his work in street magic and for hosting the television show 3rd Degree.[1] Sarcar describes himself as a "mystician" rather than a magician.[2] In 2025, he released his first book, What Matters: Volume One – Credibility.[3]
Sarcar was born and brought up in Bangalore (now Bengaluru) to a Punjabi Rajput family.[1] He is the son of M.C. Sarcar, a magician and the founder of the Karnataka Magic Academy Trust.[4] He was introduced to magic at the age of eight and began training under his father.[4]
Sarcar is a school dropout.[1] Before pursuing magic professionally, he worked various jobs, including stints in call centres and marketing. He has stated that these jobs helped him understand human psychology, which he later applied to his performances.[4][1] Prior to his public debut, he practiced for 18 hours a day and isolated himself for three years to prepare.[1] He cites his father and David Copperfield as his favorite magicians.[1]
