Achievements are but mere milestones for Prahlad
Born on 11 April 1975, the magic-bug bit Prahlad Acharya at a very tender age, when he had the good fortune to watch the performance of the legendary P C Sorcar Sr, the greatest stage magician India has ever known.
As the finest magician wove his magic web of INDRAJAL on stage, young Prahlad was entranced by this art of misdirection. Prahlad made up his mind that one day he would make a name for himself in this field and become an acclaimed magician himself.
In a short span of 16 years Prahlad has achieved his childhood dream, and is today the first name among escape artists in India. Over these one and a half decades, Prahlad has performed in most parts of India. He had recently been to the Gulf states of Dubai and United Arab Emirates, and entertained his overseas fans also.
Performing the ancient art of legerdemain in his own inimitable style, Prahlad has won himself a worthy place in the history of Indian Magic.
