The India Justice System Deals with Blindfolded DriverInside MagicMagic News Updated Daily for the Professional Magician

Mr. Shankar has derived more publicity from this stunt than many of the magicians and psychics before him. This has turned into a media frenzy and apparently he appreciates his responsibilities as a showman, a magician and a citizen of the great country of India.

He will pay the $1,100 Rupees (about $24.84) for riding through the very busy streets with a blindfold and without a helmet. The police pressed charges noting that:

“On Friday, we checked our records and found that the magician had filed an application, saying he was organising a magic show. There was just one sentence that mentioned he would be driving blindfold. When we checked, we found that he was denied permission. But instead he went ahead and got a VIP to flag it off,” he said, referring to Labour Minister Sahib Singh’s presence at four-km-long drive. How could we have let him go scot-free? We fined him and he paid up too.”

Shankar has long maintained there was no danger. “I can see everything even when I am blindfolded. Its just telepathy, that’s why I didn’t bother to take permission,” he told reporters.

But the police have their point, “We don’t want children or youth to ape such acts and add to our worries.”

So no one was hurt, no secrets were leaked, Mr. Shankar received publicity well worth the fine and the young people of the city are aware thatdriving with a blindfold can be dangerous and should not be attempted.

A happy ending for all. Check out the story at NewIndPress – South India’s Number One News Site.
