DH News Service BANGALORE, Jan 18

The Konkan Maratha Welfare Association has proposed to construct a hostel for those pursuing higher studies and those seeking employment, at Vidyar-anyapura in the City. In aid of the proposed hostel, the association is organising a magic show by Prahlad Acharya, a renowned magician who is also billed the ‘Indian Houdini,’ at the Town Hall at 6:30 pm on January 20.

The association will also honour senior people who have done the community proud. Former minister P G R Sindhia, Akhila Karnataka Kshatriya Maratha Maha Sabha President Prabhakar S Rane, Mr Hari L Khoday, MD of Jagadale Group of Industries Neelakantha Rao Jagadale, President of the Karnataka Kshatriya Maratha Parishad M G Mule and others are expected to participate.

The Konkan Maratha community of Uttara Kannada district is a well-known warrior tribe with an illustrious past. Their journey towards social upliftment began in 1920 at Krishnapur village of Sadashivgad in Karwar.

Farming is presently the prinicipal occupation of the community, but members boast of high literacy rates.

With Bangalore’s recognition as the country’s IT hub, the community has decided to construct a hostel in the City to help economically backward Konkan Maratha students aspiring for higher studies or seeking employment in the country. For more information about the project, contact (080) 3422246.

Well, it’s basically a magic trick where someone is handed a huge book, tells the magician a page number, a line number and a word number and the magician then tells the stunned spectator the word. I know you can buy this trick online with "magic" books but as I’m quite poor at the mo does anyone know where I can get info on how this trick is performed. Have a nice day.
