Anand and Akash what a magician duo these father and son are. Jadugar Anand has already set so many world records that no ever tried to break. And now that challenge has been taken up by his own son Akash. Many of them has been already broken by Akash. The Fire Escape, Blindfolded bike ride, and Underwater Escape are the few one of them. Now days both of them are touring Thiruvananthpuram (previously known as Trivandrum) Kerala. Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the state of Kerala is a beautiful seaside city built on seven hills. It is one the state with maximum numbers of magicians.Kerala was the first state to include Magic in the Fine Arts category. Kerala is magic lover state. How much Magician Anand is famous in Kerala was evident by the huge number of spectators who attended each and every show of their tour. Every show was packed. Tour started on 21 st Sept. with the performance of Akash. He performed his Fire Escape show. Akash all chained and locked was dropped into a burning hay enclosure with the help of a crane. Akash escaped from that burning hay stack within few seconds.Second show was scheduled on 24th Sept which was again performed by Akash. This time he performed Blindfolded bike ride. This bindfolded ride was done to stress the need for safe driving. It was amazing to watch him make the correct turns and curves. The blind folded Akash even adjusted speeds and applied brakes to avoid potholes and collision with other vehicles. Then followed their Inaugural show on 26th Sept. Stunt shows performed by Akash before the inaugural show raised the expectations and curiosity of the people. That's why Inaugural show was a packed one. Show had all the famous tricks for which Jadugar Anand is known. On 1st Oct Akash performed the most awaited stunt of the tour 'The Underwater Escape' Show. His last performance of this stunt was the first performance done anywhere in the last 40 years. He also holds world record for this stunt for escaping in just 15 seconds. He was handcuffed, chained and locked. Akash sat in a sack which was tied and sealed. Sack was than dropped into a box which was than locked and all tied up with ropes and chains. Box was dropped into deep sea (approx 150 feet). In few seconds we saw Akash swimming across the sea. He boarded a boat and landed on jetty. Everyone wanted a glimpse of Akash. Media was behind him for interviews.The box was also brought. Beside Akash everything was found as it was before. Even box was in one piece. The Happiest man around was Akash's father Mr.Anand whom Akash likes to call 'The Boss'. He certainly seems to be the Akash's courage and muse. Jadugar Anand must be feeling proud on the achievements of his son. India is looking forward that one day Akash will set record for the Great Guillotine Escape and the Great Running train Escape also centainly with the guidance of his father.
