While interacting with IANS, the 67-year-old engineer-turned-magician said this is the second edition when the first one was held in 2016.
“The first one was a success and this time we have got support from the Culture and Tourism departments of Kerala, Mazma India, and Thailand-based Academy of Magic,” said Samraj.
He added that this is basically a meeting to strengthen the network of magicians at all levels and the highlight would be the presence of hundreds of street magicians from the country.
“The meeting will also discuss the changing face of magic as like in every field, magic also undergoes numerous changes. This is a must for all of us as we will get to learn from one another,” said Samraj.
