A magic mansion ‘where peace is not just an illusion’ is what magician Gopinath Muthukad will launch here on Friday.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will inaugurate the Magic Planet – the magic-themed complex – at the Kinfra Film and Video Park near Kazhakuttam, and actor Mohanlal will perform the first magic trick.
“Magic Planet will facilitate an interesting journey, experiencing various eras of magic and exploring its rich history. It includes scientific, mathematical and psycho magic, street magic, stage-theatre illusion, puzzles corners and many more,” says Mr. Muthukad.
The ‘planet’ also has a Shakespearean theatre depicting the magical representation of ‘The Tempest.’ There is mystery, magic and a sense of wonder in every corner of the ‘planet,’ be it the reception, the waiting area or any other place.
“It is my dream project. My main aim is to help and support street magicians and their families through this initiative,” he said.
Next on his to-do list is a book on street magicians in order to preserve their magical specialities, as he believes magic does not and should not die.
