P C Sorcar  

Abracadabra. . . .P C Sorcar's home is a magical delight In Calcutta circles, P C Sorcar's four-storied ancestral house is called the 'magical maze'. The magic maestro Sorcar's Calcutta home has 32 rooms and several staircases woven into a maze-like structure. Mysterious passages and openings abound. Want to zip up to the third floor? Who takes the steep stairs? that's for novices. . . or other houses.

Here, you takea short-cut: a little corridor behind most rooms which connects through to the top floor. There's more magic in the balcony - a secret passage that leads you to the second floor in the blink of an eye!

For aesthetic hocus pocus, visit the kitchen. An ornamental spiral staircase is located bang in the centre of the room. what's up those stairs? The "real" workplace -- a messy area in every Indian kitchen, the place for vegetable peels and dirty dishes! The living room on the first floor showcases some of the magician's most famous props and collectibles: the rope of the famed rope trick; a sword belonging to one of the soldiers of Vasco da Gama; a platinum samurai sword; even a quaint collection of old locks.

The Sorcar bedrooms are probably the most practical rooms in the house. No hidden mysteries here -- just comfort, and lots of storage space!

The hallmarks of the house are probably the auditorium where he entertains special friends or guests, and the second floor library which has valuable manuscripts that he inherited from his great, great grandfather, the father of the magic empire.
