Magician PC Sorcar will unleash his tricks on Mumbaikars with a series of performances for four days around the city

As a magician, he is an astute conjurer but as an artiste, garnering tricks up his sleeve for five decades, PC Sorcar believes it is wit that binds his science. When not on stage, the legend is a humble Bengali who admires sports and politics. “If I have to express myself emotionally, I prefer talking in Bengali,” he says in his signature, crackling voice. Before unlocking his secrets (hidden in the most unlikely places) with a series of performances in the city, the 70-year-old opened up about his vanishing acts. Excerpts from an interview.
