Adetunji Adediran, a.k.a. Zakurajah The Great, is a professional magician. He is a Communication and Language Art graduate of the University of Ibadan, who also doubles as a journalist, currently works as the Ondo State Bureau Chief for the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

His interest in magic dates back into the early 80s, when, as a young school boy, he had the opportunity of watching the late Professor Peller on the stage. Zakurajah, who is a devout muslim, maintains that magic is and has always been a performing art. He makes a distinction between mystical and entertainment magic. According to him, while people with mystical powers invoke the supernatural, entertainment magicians rely solely on their wit and dexterity to put smiles on the faces of people by creating illusions in their minds

By the time Zakurajah was going for his mandatory one year Youth Service in 1992, his ability to entertain as a magician had so developed that he easily became the most popular corps member in Anambra State within one week on camp. He was able to achieve this feat by performing magic to entertain various interest groups and individuals on camp, including the camp commandant.

Since then, Zakurajah has gathered quite a bag of tricks and has been entertaining various audience with his magic tricks across Nigeria in the last two decades. In the last two editions of the Abuja International Film Festival that was held at the prestigeous Silver Bird Cinema, Zakurajah was the sole entertainer that added colour to the events.
