A Magic Show

Last Sunday, the famous magician of India, Dev Dutta Sarkar visited our town. He held a magic show in the town hall in the afternoon. I went to see the show.

The hall was packed to capacity, but I managed to occupy the front row of seats. As the famous magician entered the hall he was given a standing ovation by the spectators.

He was wearing a long robe of intricate designs and colours and was holding a magic wand in his hand.

On just entering the hall he was told by one of the spectators that he had heard that he always reached the avenue of his show in time, but this time he had come late by one hour.

The renowned magician smiled and said that he was very much on time. He asked the spectators to look at their watches. To the surprise of all, the watch on everybody’s wrist showed the real time the show was scheduled to be held. The hall resounded with the loudest clapping that I had ever heard.

Then Mr. Sarkar took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He put it into an empty brass jar and covered it with a disc. He asked one of the spectators to come and remove the disc and take out the contents from the jar. To the surprise of all, the handkerchief had changed into a small frog which began to hop on the table on which the jar had been placed. The magician asked the spectator to put the frog back into the jar. He again covered it with the disc. Again as the disc was removed and the jar emptied a handkerchief, now of a different colour came out and the frog had disappeared.

In this way, the magician brought out scores of things from the empty jar, among them, marbles, a dove, a pigeon, a rose, a note-book, a toy bus etc.

The show was over after one hour. I returned home elated and wonder-struck.
