  "account": "The Magic Table, a unique mentalism experience in Mumbai, comes to Grand Hyatt BKC for six months. The immersive event, curated by award-winning magicians Thommy Ten & Amélie van Tass, called The Clairvoyants, offers a five-course menu inside an almost dark room at Suma, the hotel's Indian restaurant. A section has been cordoned off with temporary curtains and fitted with a new ceiling to house the projection and sound system. Guests take their table and are wrapped in a magician's cape, who then guides them through the night's tricks and games. The evening starts with a cocktail and a five-course menu, priced at Rs 9,000. The menu includes creamy artichoke soup with truffle and parmesan, lobster bisque with caviar, watermelon tartare, nihari sauce, morel mushrooms, moilee sauce, sea bass, dahi bhalla, lamb on jeera aloo, and a chocolate hazelnut torte with strawberry and blueberry. Between courses, The Clairvoyants present games and tricks, such as a card trick, a locked box with keys, and a game to reveal your identity. The tricks keep guests engaged and questioning how their answers were determined. While the opening course and dessert were enjoyable, the food overall was only good in parts. The experience is priced at Rs 11,500 per head, making it a potentially memorable night for kids, but the food may not be worth the price for adults.",
