Mentalist, Actor, Television Presenter and YouTuber
When Deddy Corbuzier was eight years old, he watched a magician transform a handkerchief into a bouquet. This moment became transformative in his eagerness to learn the craft, as he would later become a renowned mentalist in Indonesia. He was also recognised as one of the best mentalists in the world by the International Magicians Society.
Just as he had enchanted his audience with magic tricks, Corbuzier found he could also translate this charm on-screen, as he made several TV and film appearances. He finally put his magician’s hat down and is growing his podcast and YouTube channel, which follows a talk-show format that discusses current events in Indonesia with guest stars.
With more than 16 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and a billion-plus views, Deddy Corbuzier’s show entitled Close the Door is socially significant. Corbuzier carries a weighty influence in public discourse.
