His name is Khan - And he eats nails for breakfast!
Dear friend *|TITLE:FNAME|*,
One of the abiding, even if its cliche imagery associated with India is as the Land of Magic and Snakes. Since time immemorial, India has had Maya (illusion) and Indrajal (Magic) deeply entrenched in its folklore, myth and legends. Indian Magic is in many ways the purest form of magic owing to the simplicity and everyday nature of the props used - no stage, trapdoors, smoke, lights or mirrors - yet it showcases incredible illusions involving decapitations, snakes, thorns and nails, not to forget fully-surrounded levitation's, vanishes, productions etc.
These travelling Magicians has and continue to fascinate the minds of viewers with their spell bounding sorcery and tricks including the Indian Mango Mystery, The Indian Basket Trick (Indrajal), and Indian Flying Man, and other masterpiece illusions that have a history of several hundred years behind them.
Aas Mohammed Khan and Babban Khan hail from a family of traditional Indian street magicians who have been practicing this art for generations and thankfully have kept this Jaadu alive. They have been performing all over India for the past forty years, including at several magic conventions, Kala Ghoda festival, In Goa during the Carnival, and have had regular media coverage who are intrigued by their skills and determination to keep this art alive in India.
