paragraph writing on a magic show
Answers
The hall was packed to capacity, but I managed to occupy the front row of seats. As the famous magician entered the hall he was given a standing ovation by the spectators.
He was wearing a long robe of intricate designs and colours and was holding a magic wand in his hand.
On just entering the hall he was told by one of the spectators that he had heard that he always reached the avenue of his show in time, but this time he had come late by one hour.
The renowned magician smiled and said that he was very much on time. He asked the spectators to look at their watches. To the surprise of all, the watch on everybody’s wrist showed the real time the show was scheduled to be held. The hall resounded with the loudest clapping that I had ever heard.
Then Mr. Sarkar took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He put it into an empty brass jar and covered it with a disc. He asked one of the spectators to come and remove the disc and take out the contents from the jar. To the surprise of all, the handkerchief had changed into a small frog which began to hop on the table on which the jar had been placed. The magician asked the spectator to put the frog back into the jar. He again covered it with the disc. Again as the disc was removed and the jar emptied a handkerchief, now of a different colour came out and the frog had disappeared.
In this way, the magician brought out scores of things from the empty jar, among them, marbles, a dove, a pigeon, a rose, a note-book, a toy bus etc.
The show was over after one hour. I returned home elated and wonder-struck.
Everyone enjoys magic shows. Children especially never like to miss one. Magicians dress up in colorful clothes for their show. They have other men to help them. Magicians are very good in their work. They spend most of their time practicing. We can never understand how they perform their tricks.
Last Saturday, I had a chance to see a magic show. My father had got tickets for the evening show as a surprise for my birthday. I went with my parents and we took our seats. We waited eagerly for the show to begin. The curtains on the stage lifted and the magician entered. He introduced himself and the show began.
First of all he took four pieces of a rope, ran his hands over them, and when he opened them the rope was one again! He called a boy from the audience and asked for his watch. He covered it with a piece of cloth and broke it with a hammer. But when the boy put his hand in his pockets he found his watch there. We were all surprised.
The magician made his assistant fly in the air, cut him two with a sword, and then joined him again. He made things disappear in the air and brought them out of our pockets. He produced many rabbits and pigeons out of his hat. He mad his table rise in the air and stay there for five minutes. He performed many more such surprising tricks.
We could all only watch in wonder. We didn’t realize how 2 hours had passed by. Everyone praised him and admired him. I wish I too could perform such tricks and entertain people with my skill. It would be nice to be a famous magician when I grow up.
