He has been performing for the last three decades, yet, Jadugar Anand continues to enthral audiences leaving them wanting for more. His famous ‘Mayalok' literally translating into ‘World of illusion' is full of mind boggling tricks and Hari Hara Kala Bhavan was transformed into a place filled with magic.

However, Wednesday's evening show was much more than just magic. Jadugar Anand was felicitated with the title of ‘Man of Miracles' by members of R.K's Wonder World, an events firm which has conducted magic conventions for the past 25 years.One after the other, he performed tricks that left the audience amazed. One of his tricks included suspending his assistant in mid air and another one saw a beautiful girl turning into a gorilla.

The highlight of the event was when Mr. Anand called on actress Lakshmi Manchu to perform a trick. He sent her into a semi conscious state and stuck a sword through her neck as everyone in the hall stared in shock. But his tricks were far from over. Mr. Anand's next trick saw Ms. Lakshmi floating in air!

B.N.S. Kumar, Secretary to Government, Dr. B.V. Pattabhiram, G. Raghu Babu, magician, Phani Madhav Kasturi, mimicry artist and other magicians participated in the felicitation ceremony.
