Speaking about the celebration, Samsi said that he had always been fascinated by magic and different tricks. He also added that from the age of about 15 or 16, he wanted to become a magician as it was a hobby for him. It wasn’t just a phase, but something that really interested him as a small child. He still loves it, but cricket obviously took over after that.
