Return of the Magician?

Magic shows have always had a fascination for most people. However, stage magic shows in the country have been declining since the past few years. Blame it on the lack of availability of resources or the lack of initiative on the part of magicians, to come up with fresher approaches to appeal to today's audiences. But, the era of great stage performers has faded to a large extent in our country compared to the past. This is in contrast to the West, where magic is big business. However, the future holds hope, as newer formats of magic shows like one-to-one performances and street magic are coming up. Also efforts are on, to revive the stage format and bring it to international standards.
