Indian Magician Comments On Blaine

Mr. Muthukad is more than a magician. He has worked to stop unrest between neighboring villages and taught the principles of non-violence offered by Ghandi and through the use of magic shows:

“Gandhi Mantra is our latest project to disseminate the eternal ideals of the Mahatama through unique magic shows, all over the world. Seven of the prominent messages of Gandhiji including truth, peace, non-violence, self-purification, communal harmony, abstinence from alcohol and formation of self-reliant villages would be highlighted through meaningful magic shows.”

If funding works out, Mr. Muthukad intends to perform in those areas most affected by war and violence: Japan, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq as well as “magical manifestations against war at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

Two of his planned effects will be making a statue of Ghandi speak to the crowd and to catch a bullet in his teeth fired in a military camp and completely under control of the Defense Ministry. They will verify the loading and inspect the bullet after it is (hopefully) spit from between the magician’s teeth.

On the subject of Blaine, however, his comments are more reserved:

“Blaine?s is a different attitude: to undergo endurance tests, evaluate physical abilities etc. To be honest, Blaine?s feats are more expressions of his good physique than magical acts. I have been enthusiastically watching Blaine. His magic never went beyond common sleights of hands, using cards; but he should be appreciated for popularising magic, bringing magic into streets, among public and shoppers of the roadsides but not for his sort of endurance tests like fasting above the Thames or walking over the London eye.”

Mr. Muthukad’s mission follows within the philosophy of Ghandi that it is in action we find satisfaction and there is no satisfaction in “inertness.” Thus his show has him”acting, doing something not only for magic but for the humanity as a whole.”

We wish him the best of luck and safety in his trip. His success in ending violence between towns is documented and his dedication to using magic to further the message of peace is commendable.
