We launched this project with the twin objective of restoring the magic art form of Assam to its earlier glory and also to spread awareness about the ‘Science behind Magic’. As a part of this project we provided free training/scholarships to over 200 students to enable them to turn into budding magicians. Another notable highlight of this project was the launching of a first-of-its-kind V.C.D named ‘Vikram’s Choo-Mantar’ that focused on creating mass awareness about magic. It was launched on ‘Magic Day’ (Axom) ie10th August 2010 by eminent intellectual Dr. Hiren Gohain in the presence of many dignitaries. A lot of well know personalities from different fields of the state played important roles in this video.
