A magical journey across the world

Deepa H. Ramakrishnan

CHENNAI: A few magical chants and out of thin air appears a grand set from Egypt. In just two and a half hours, the K. Lals (senior and junior) take you on a world tour with their magic show.

Their show, being organised by T.V.K. Cultural Academy at Raja Annamalai Mandram in Broadway, is on till June 19. There is also a show at 4 p.m. on weekends. It is nothing less than a caravan when the Lal’s set out to perform at different locations across the country. They are accompanied by 50 artists and bring along four truck loads of props. “We believe in providing clean magic … wholesome family entertainment. I have struggled a lot to develop magic into an art … instead of being perceived as a mere trick show,” explained the 84-year-old K. Lal (senior).
