Tonight (March 21, 2026), 21-year-old Indian sensation Aditya V. Kodmur steps onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage in Episode 1904, bringing his explosive card-throwing skills that have already made him a global phenomenon.

Known as the “Card Ninja” and a self-proclaimed “modern magician,” Aditya is a 6-time Guinness World Records holder whose precision, power, and showmanship turn ordinary playing cards into deadly weapons and mind-blowing entertainment.

Here’s the complete story of who Aditya Kodmur is, his inspiring journey, record-breaking achievements, and rise from a small-town dreamer to international TV star.

Who Is Aditya Kodmur?

  • Full Name: Aditya V. Kodmur
  • Age: 21 (born September 2, 2004)
  • Hometown: Solapur, Maharashtra, India
  • Titles: 6x Guinness World Records Holder, World Champion Card Thrower, Modern Magician, Sleight-of-Hand Artist, Card Martial Artist
  • Instagram: @aditya.v.kodmur (where he shares insane tricks and record updates)

Aditya describes himself as a “modern magician of India” who has redefined cardistry by blending martial-arts-style throwing with magic, deception, and high-speed trick shots.

Early Life & The Spark That Started It All

Aditya discovered his passion for magic at just 10 years old. Like many young magicians, he was inspired by legends like Dynamo, but his true calling came when he stumbled upon card throwing videos by a US expert online.

What began as curiosity turned into obsession. He taught himself the dangerous art of hurling playing cards with pinpoint accuracy — fast enough to slice fruits, light matches, pierce watermelons, and even create “Fruit Ninja” moments in real life. By his mid-teens, he was practicing 12–16 hours a day, turning his bedroom in Solapur into a training ground.

Early on, the journey was tough. Aditya faced financial struggles, lack of family support, and a negative environment. Friends mocked him, media ignored his early records, and resources were scarce. But he refused to quit.

Career Beginnings: From Bedroom Practice to World Stage

Aditya’s breakthrough came in December 2021 when, at just 17, he shattered the existing Guinness World Record for the most accurate card thrower — not once, but twice.

He became the only magician in India to hold Guinness titles in this category.

This opened doors to professional performances. He started combining card throwing with sleight-of-hand magic, creating a unique “card martial arts” style that no one else in the world matches. Today, he performs at events worldwide, runs his own shows, and has built a strong social media following as a content creator and Cameo celebrity.

Guinness World Records Achievements (6x and Counting)

Aditya’s record-breaking feats include:

  • Most playing cards thrown around a human target in one minute: 89 cards (September 22, 2024, Solapur) — breaking his own previous record of 66.
  • Most playing cards thrown into watermelons in one minute: 31 cards (September 22, 2024) — piercing one watermelon every 2 seconds on average.
  • Multiple titles for most accurate card thrower (honoured twice early in his career).
  • Additional records involving lighting matches with cards, precision target throws, and other death-defying card stunts.

He has openly said he keeps pushing boundaries because “nothing is impossible in life when you keep things constantly — no breaks, no chill, no fun until things are done.”

Appearances on Other Shows

Aditya first gained national fame on India’s Got Talent Season 10 (2023), where his “card throwing martial artist” act left judges Shilpa Shetty, Badshah, Kirron Kher, and Arjun Bijlani stunned. The judges initially thought it was a simple trick — until the cards started flying at lightning speed. The performance went viral, landed him in TV promos, and skyrocketed his popularity.

He has also appeared in multiple YouTube features, History TV 18 segments, and international card-throwing showcases.

Britain’s Got Talent 2026: Tonight’s Big Moment

Tonight on ITV (6:45 PM), Aditya brings his skills to the BGT stage. Official teasers show judge KSI jumping in for a chaotic, fun challenge — dodging flying cards alongside cameos from Aitch, Deji, and Angry Ginge. The act promises “serious paper cuts” and high-energy entertainment that could easily earn a Golden Buzzer on BGT 2026.

What’s Next for Aditya Kodmur?

With six Guinness records already under his belt and now competing on one of the world’s biggest talent shows, Aditya’s dream is to make India proud on the global stage and inspire young talents who face the same early struggles he did.

As he often says: “I came from nothing… and proved that if you put in the time and effort, you can achieve anything.”
