Most people go big or go bigger with New Year’s Eve parties. Here, we get a video tour of how Dubai celebrated as seen through the eyes of magician Nabeel Bera. There’s fireworks, sparkly balloons, and lots of party people. He works the international (and largely intoxicated) crowds with a whole variety of roaming magic tricks, riffing on the cup and balls, crafty number play, and cards.

If you enjoyed Bera’s videos of his work across Bahrain in 2017, he’s got good news. The magician is promising a video a week this year on his One With Magic channel, plus he announced a move to Dubai. Cheers to seeing more of his unique behind the scenes takes from the UAE in 2018!
