Was pleasantly surprised to find this new stamp. Magicians are an important part of our culture and generation; for they are an integral part of our upbringing - especially towards imagination. How can one forget the magic shows that we used to yearn when we were kids :) I did get the privilege of watching Jr.P.C.Sorcar perform in Chennai(guess it was in the Music Academy Auditorium) once - i guess i was in 9th standard then, and simply loved the show and was filled with awe.
From Wikipedia:
P.C. Sorcar (23 February 1913 - 6 January 1971) was the stage name of Protul Chandra Sorcar, a famous Indian magician. He was an internationally active magician throughout the 1950s and 1960s, performing his Indrajal show before live audiences and on television.
