Mahdi Gilbert is a Canadian card magician and inspirational speaker who was born without hands or feet and developed his own physical vocabulary for sleight of hand. His official site offers motivational talks for schools, companies and organizations worldwide and provides direct phone and email contacts. Gilbert won a Fool Us trophy with a deeply personal oil-and-water routine and has continued presenting magic, storytelling and ideas about possibility across international stages. Because his work involves short-term residencies rather than one fixed public base, FindMagic should not infer a current home city from Toronto birthplace or event locations.
