Acclaimed magician P C Sorcar (Junior) will set up the world’s first university of magic in Kolkata this year.
“The university will start its maiden session in November this year with about a dozen graduate students selected after thorough scrutiny,” Sorcar told reporters here.
He said the courses have been dissected into various branches like psychology, acting, mechanical and lighting and experts have been roped in from the fields as faculty.
The students will be awarded a masters degree called as Masters of Illusion.
Stating that magic of today is science of tomorrow, the magician, who astounded the world many a time through his tricks, said such tricks should not fall into wrong hands.
“So we have laid out strict procedures of selection of candidates. We will select witty students with good IQ and those who will benefit the society rather than harm it,” he said.
Virtually debunking the tantriks, babas and sadhus, Sorcar said superstition is his biggest enemy.
“I believe in science and truth. What they perform even I can do. It is mere illusion. We do it for entertainment,” he added
Hope people from all over the world would like to come down to kolkata to learn the tricks and degree in magic. So whats for you are all waiting..when you can do magic yourself now.
