Magician Anand

BANGALORE: If you happen to see an elephant disappear and reappear in front of your eyes, don't panic. It is just Jadugar Anand's magic at work.

The noted magician is back in the city with his troupe, this time to perform new feats for the people of Bangalore from April 7 at the Town Hall for one month.

One of the highlights of the show will be the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty in slow motion, for the first time in India.

Last year, Anand had made an elephant disappear from the stage. This time he will make an elephant appear on the stage in a matter of seconds.

Apart from the regular show, a daring feat will be performed by Akash on Sunday at the Palace Grounds, which will be free for the public. Akash will perform a fire escape, wherein his hands and legs will be chained and he will be thrown into the fire, out of which he will make a daring escape.

Anand told presspersons here on Friday that the art of magic has not been given recognition by the Government as an art form even though magicians performing abroad bring in considerable foreign exchange to the country.

Mr. Anand, President of the All India Magic Federation, holds the record for riding a motorbike blindfolded from Indore to Bhopal, a distance of 200 km.
