The tradition of magic in India has long been playing the disappearing act. In a bid to spread awareness about magical performances, Delhi Tourism is organising the 4th International Magic Festival at Dilli Haat, Janak Puri, INA and Pitampura from September 26 to 28. Magic in India has a rich past, but the most deserving stories have often slipped the ears of masses.
International and Indian magicians from diverse backgrounds will be present to ensnare the audience with their legerdemain skills. The programmes are designed in a unique way that grasp the interest level of all age groups, with grand and interactive gala shows.
In order to set the mood and ambiance before the shows, the venue will be an open host to ancient (Majma) and modern forms of street magic (like that by David Blaine). In addition to all these performances across all the three Dilli Haats, there will be an exhibition on history of Indian magic and its forms. In recent times, technology has changed the face of how magic is done in the nation. Engineered acts, research and sophisticated equipments have brought a new era of magic in India. The growing interest of corporate organisations has expanded the earnings and many magicians, who have opened up consulting companies, which in turn help organisations to put a magical twist in their official events/launch parties.
