2015 year. Award.
His artistry has impressed employees of major corporations, government officials, and entertainment stars not only through its visual brilliance but also through its depth of psychological engagement. Daniil’s talent proved universal—he captivated intimate audiences with trust-building dialogue and commanded the emotions of thousands on grand stages with equal virtuosity.
His success story began at age ten. After being barred from a magician’s performance due to misbehavior, Daniil taught himself his first magic tricks. Over time, however, his focus shifted from external spectacle to the inner workings of illusion.

2014 year. Andrey Malakhov's magazine "StarHit"
He explored how gestures, intonation, and pauses could guide the audience’s mental activity, turning each act into a dialogue with the subconscious. Continuous refinement led him to develop original techniques. In 2014, Andrey Malakhov conducted an in-depth interview with him, highlighting not only his technical skill but also his philosophical approach to magic. A year later, at the "Lucky Awards", Radaev was named "Lucky Person of the Year", with critics hailing him as an innovator merging illusion and psychology.

STAGE PERFORMANCE
Daniil's stage performance is not merely a display of illusions but a profound experiment at the intersection of hypnosis, mentalism, and psychology. The program, adapted for both large-scale venues and intimate spaces, is built on audience interaction through the lens of scientific methodology and artistic expression.
By eschewing elaborate sets, the focus shifts to the subtle manipulation of perception. Each trick serves as an exploration of human consciousness, where illusion becomes a tool for analysis.
Daniil employs techniques of neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis to create a "shared participation" effect: the audience does not passively observe but unconsciously influences the performance’s trajectory through their reactions and choices.
Mind reading, predictions, and subconscious pattern work are woven into a narrative that reveals the hidden mechanics of decision-making.
Audience engagement is rooted not in entertainment but in dialogue. Participants in the experiments become subjects of study, their actions forming part of a performance that highlights the fragile boundary between reality and suggestion.
Daniil Radaev merges academic psychology with stage hypnosis, transforming classic illusion acts into an intellectual spectacle. Viewers are confronted with questions about the nature of memory, free will, and the subjectivity of experience.
Daniil’s show is a performance-as-research. Here, magic ceases to be mere trickery, becoming a metaphor for human cognition: as enigmatic, unpredictable, and open to interpretation as the mind itself.

MICROMAGIC
Micromagic is one of the most challenging and awe-inspiring disciplines in the world of illusion. Its essence lies in virtuosic manipulations performed by a master’s hands directly in front of an audience. For Daniil, this art is synonymous with the highest level of skill, demanding not only years of practice but also profound respect for every detail.
Micromagic is not merely about speed and precision. Here, artistry is paramount, transforming a trick into a dialogue with the viewer. The master subtly guides the audience’s attention: first, the illusion captivates, then the spectators begin to focus on the magician’s very persona—their gestures, gaze, and intonation.
This is the pinnacle of illusion, where technique merges with psychology, and a trick becomes a story. As Daniil emphasizes, it is in this genre that magic ceases to be a mere trick—it evolves into genuine enchantment, born at the intersection of mastery and human charisma.
