Answers
Answer:
9. OLD TOYS AND NEW MAGIC
Reading
A. 1. A stereoscope is a device for viewing a three-dimensional image. The stereoscope is no
longer popular because we have much better technology today that even lets us watch films in
3D.
2. The magic lantern was responsible for starting Ray’s passion for films. This was because the
light from the lamp threw moving images from the revolving film onto a wall, resembling an
actual movie. This fascinated Ray and he became passionate about film-making.
3. The non-stop chatter from a magician is called ‘patter’. A magician’s patter makes the
audience look more at his face than his hands, which helps him pull off all his tricks.
4. Ray was more impressed with Madame Palermo than Shefallo as the latter used patter as a
distraction while Madame Palermo performed in complete silence.
5. HOMEWORK
B. 1. I happened to watch a Bengali magician at a wedding party, whose skills made Shefallo’s
performance on the stage pale in comparison.
2. Clad in a dhoti and a shirt, he looked no different from other ordinary men. Who could tell he
had such extraordinary talent?
3. But I never met him again. In my excitement at having run into him so unexpectedly, I had
forgotten to take his address.
4. Many years later, I included this magician as a character in a short story
5. Later, I bought quite a few books on magic and practiced sleight of hand, standing before a
mirror.
C. 1. Magic breaks all walls of reality and brings the audience into a world of infinite possibility. It
transforms illusions to reality. Similarly, a film also calls us completely into its world and we are
transported to a make-believe world of colorful sights and sounds. Both magic and cinema
require skill and storytelling and both offer an escape from our routine life. Both of them
entertain adults and children alike. Ray was a creative person at heart who enjoyed telling
stories with moving
images and entertaining people. So he graduated from magic to film making.
2. As a child, Satyajit Ray had many hobbies like writing, composing songs, painting,
filmmaking, magic and so on. These helped him as a filmmaker as films are a creative union of
stories, images, skill and songs. If a filmmaker is good at these things and has pursued them as
Ray had, they can connect with their audiences and make great films. That was what Satyajit
Ray did. His films were greatly appreciated by audiences and critics alike and he won many
prestigious awards.
