My father had given me a laptop and a data card for internet connectivity when ever, I am free from my regular studies, I love to surf that attracted me a lot. Recently, there was a performance of Fire Escape, Blind Fold Bike Ride, Under Water Escape by Magician Akash and awesome magic items by Magician Anand at Trivandrum. I observed all the performances by Mr. Akash and Mr. Anand and I found it very interesting and thus would like to write on the same…..   Jadugar Anand along with his son Akash and his troupe is touring Thiruvananthapuram these days. Their tour started on 21st Sept.   On 21st Sept : Akash performed Fire Escape show at Chandershekhar Nair Stadium Thiruvananthapuram. The show was scheduled at 4 PM. Stadium was largely crowded. A hay enclosure almost 15 feet high was built in the center of the stadium ground. Akash was tied up with 25 chains and 25 locks. It was impossible for him to move. These locks were checked by onlookers and some VIP guests. Soon he was lifted up by a crane and dropped in the hay enclosure. The hay enclosure was set on fire from all the sides. Fire spereaded quickly. We all were waiting for Akash to come out. Within 40 - 45 seconds he came out of that burning hay stack. The crew member rushed towards him to cover him with a blanket. He came out unhurt. It was an amazing show.   On 24th Sept. : Blindfolded motorbike ride was happened next which was also performed by Akash on the streets of Thiruvananthapuram. Before starting the ride he was blindfolded by a piece of cardboard, cotton and plaster of paris cut in the shape of an eye glass – held together with a band of black cloth wrapped over. Before starting, a hood was placed over Akash's face. Volunteers were riding along with blindfolded Akash. Everyone was amazed from the way Akash was taking correct turns and curves. He even adjusted speed and applied brakes to avoid potholes and collision with other vehicles. This ride was done to spread message to public that when blindfolded riders can navigate safely on busy roads, why should accidents take place during normal driving. This feat of his had combination of tricks, meditation and concentration.   On 26th Sept: Karthika Thirunal was the venue for the Inaugural show of Jadugar Anand. It was back to back magic show. Expectation and curiosity of people raised after the Akash's Fire escape and Blindfolded ride stunt show. Many VIP's attended the show like Vijaya Kumar (sports, youth, port, etc.), Forest and housing minister Binoy Visham, two ADGP's, Trivandrum IG, Trivandrum Commissioner, Director of Health Services and lot of other guys. A large number of media personnel were also present there to cover the show. There were many new items which added thrill and excitement to the show. One of the finest of these was the television panel from which people emerge and get into, slow motion vanishing of Statue of Liberty, Floating of one of the ADGP's daughter in the air, Elephant appearance on an empty stage, cutting of an assistant magically transformation of appreciation letter from Forest Minister to Mr. Anand into his resignation letter and also donating his entire property to Magician Anand. All the kids present there enjoyed the most as the show transported them to another world.   On 1 Oct : It was the biggest event of the tour THE UNDERWATER ESCAPE. It was a life risking stunt. Seven out of ten attempts fail in this Escape. It was his second attempt. First was at Hyderabad was first attempt after 40 years (last time his father attempted successfully) where he created a world record for exiting in just 15 seconds. It was held at Vizhinjam Harbour. Kovalam MLA George Mercier, Southern Range IG Arun Kumar Sinha, Police Commissioner Revatha Chandershekhar, ICGS Vizhinjam CO PK Mishra, Vizhinjam Panchayat President Latha Sugathan etc were among VIP guests. Akash was handcuffed by an MLA. He double checked the locks. Akash then sat in bag which was tied and sealed by commissioner. This bag carrying Akash was dropped in a wooden box. The box was then lowered down into water by a crane. The crane boarded a large boat so that box is dropped in a deeper side of sea. Box was submerged into the sea. Many motorboats were roaming in the sea filled with media person so that they can have best snaps of the Akash as he surfaced out of the water. Everybody present there was eagerly waiting for Akash to come out specially Magician Anand as he father. As few minutes passed we saw Akash swimming across the sea towards a boat. Boat brought him to the jetty. As he was progressing towards jetty he gave quick interviews to journalists on the boat. The box was also brought from the water. It was in one piece and when opened all the locks and chains were as it is. Akash was the only one thing that was missing from the box. It was a mesmerizing show that I will remember all my life.   Currently there magic shows are going on at Karthika Thirunal hall. It is worth watching their magic shows.

Now days definition of magic has changed. Now they are more advanced, entertaining and lots of money is spent on these shows. Magician Anand and his team's magic shows are one of them. Currently their shows are going on in Thiruvananthpuram(Trivandrum). Jadugar Anand's son Akash performed his famous stunts as part of the thier tour. On 21st sept. he performed his Fire Escape show, on 24th sept. he performed his blindfolded ride stunt and then followed their inaugural magic show on 26th sept. All the shows were fabulous and crowded. This shows how popular they are. Today on 1st Oct Akash performed the most awaited stunt of the tour 'The Underwater Escape' Show. His last performance of this stunt was the first performance done anywhere in the last 40 years. He also holds world record for this stunt for escaping in just 15 seconds. He was handcuffed, chained and locked from head to toe. He was then put in a sack and locked in a box. This box was lowered in the water. Within 15-20 seconds he came out of that locked box free from all locks, chains and handcuffs. He was applauded by all present there. He deserve all the praise he is receiving.
