From magic to discipline
It started on a stage
Deddy Corbuzier was born in Jakarta in 1976 and was already standing on a stage as a teenager. Magic first, then mentalism: reading a room, holding attention, staying calm while everyone waits for what comes next. It made him a familiar face on Indonesian television.
Twice he was awarded the Merlin Award for World's Best Mentalist. In 2015 he stopped performing altogether, not because it was going badly, but because he wanted his time to go to conversations and to health. That second part had started earlier, in 2013, with OCD, Obsessive Corbuzier's Diet: his own approach to eating and training, put out in the open.
