West Bengal Government Plans School and Museum to Promote Magic Art
The West Bengal government is establishing a school dedicated to magic and a museum to document its history in the state. An advisory committee, led by renowned magician P C Sorcar (Junior), has been formed to guide the initiative. The committee held its first meeting in Kolkata with government officials present. The school aims to promote and preserve Bengal's rich legacy in magic. Some reports note Sorcar's past political association with the BJP, contrasting with the current government's involvement.
