Pick me up The Magic Space has all sorts of magic-related stuff

At Magic Space you can watch magic, read about it, buy magical wares and even learn it. The space aims to become a hotspot of magic in India.

Giridhar Kamat who was for over a decade in the business of manufacturing and exporting magical apparatus is behind the project.

“I have got so much from the world of magic and now I want to give something back to it,” he says.

By hosting regular workshops and sessions with renowned magicians from across the world, Indian magicians will be exposed to what is happening around the world. “The idea is to take magic to the world-class level. There was a lack of space where magicians could just chill out, meet, interact and learn from each other,” says Vishakha.

The space boasts of a library, mini stage, coffee shop and a shop stocking the latest magical stuff. Beginners can buy the magic kit which comes with an instructional CD or can attend their teach-in-sessions.

The place will have resident magicians as well. On June 8, Magic Space will host a session by Mumbai’s Mysto Pinto, who is one of top clown magicians of the country. Contact 9900970099 or log on to www.themagicspace.net
