Arguably one of India’s best magicians today, PC Sorcar Junior has enthralled millions children and adults alike with his magic tricks. A recipient of the Merlin Award for Magic, he also holds a doctorate in psychology.
Some his best-loved tricks include making monuments,like the Taj Mahal and Victoria Memorial, disappear and his ‘X-ray Eyes’ trick – where he can see things while blindfolded, to name a few. One of his more dangerous tricks is the one where he saws himself into two halves with help from his wife Jayashree.
On his birthday, The Quint looks back at some of the magician’s popular tricks.
