GILI GILI MAGIC
ENTHRALLS
SRI LANKANS |
 |
"Gili Gili Magic" returned home on 28th December 2002 after a 45 day long
successful magic tour of Sri Lanka.
 |
This mega project of Sri Lanka was
organized by the "Sunrise Enterprise", Colombo and was sponsored by
Neelkamal, Srilankan Airlines, Seylan Bank. Shakthi TV, Shakthi FM, Sirasa
TV. Sirasa FM, MTV, Veerakesari Daily, etc. |
|
Mass publicity was provided through the print and visual media, which made
the people recognize the magic troupe in the nook and corners of Srilanka. |
 |
   
| The performances were held for packed
audiences in Colombo. Negambo. Kandy, Trincomalee and Jaffna. Magic effects
like the Under Water Escape, Alladin's Carpet, Artists' Dream, Spikes of
Fire, Jungle Mystery, etc., were highly appreciated. |
|
The people adored the blend of magic,
speech and humor with the soft and pleasant background music provided by the
troupe's orchestra. The Shankars had to spend hours with the spectators
after the shows, signing autographs and taking photographs. |
 |
 |
The highlight of the
show was the Shankars
"Magic for Universal Peace" performance at .Jaffna. Gili Gili Magic was the
first entertainment programme for the people of Jaffna, after 20 long years
of war and tension. The people flooded the auditorium and the Shankars had
to give 5 special shows for them. |
|
Where ever they went, the Shankars were
faced by a mass of general public with full praise for the show and tons of
questions in their minds like "How did you pass the needle through your eye
in the TV show ?", "How did you stop our watch??". |
 |
 |
At the end of their tour, the troupe left a large gathering of people who
missed the show with a promise to come back again and entertain them in
future. |
