This morning's Newindpress
.Com has a great headline for a
disappointing story. "'Magician'
Vanishes Before the Show."
According to one of our favorite news sources for Southern
India news, Gupta and Junior Gupta, were to appear at Anna Kalaiarangam in Vellore yesterday, Sunday
the 13th.
The Gupta act heavily promoted the gig and magic fans turned
out to see the show. The venue officials
cancelled the show and turned away the excited crowd.
If the audience was disappointed to hear of the cancellation,
and they were, you can only imagine the
further sense of despondency when officials announced the magician swiped the
ticket revenue – making immediate refunds unlikely.
Newindpress .Com tells us the crowd's disappointment cum
despondency synergistically morphed into "ire" toward the poor ticket
office personnel.
The venue called the police to both investigate the theft
and calm the agitated, disappointed, despondent, and increasingly ire-filled
crowd.
One of the venue officials related to Newindpress .Com Ram Mohan, "who was supposed to have
conducted the show, had paid Rs 2,500 as rent for the venue in advance.
However, he failed to turn up on Sunday."
A benevolent soul described only as "a local person who
was involved in organizing the show" promised to return the ticket money
to the emotional throng.
The authorities continue to hunt for Mr. Mohan.
We will keep you apprised of developments in this
matter.
