[1] Sorcar contested the 2014 Indian general election from Barasat (Lok Sabha constituency) as the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate and lost to Dr. Kakali Ghosh Dastidar of Trinamool Congress.
Sorcar's troupe, Indrajal, uses 48 tons of equipment, 75 artists, dozens of settings, 12 jadoo girls, psychedelic laser lighting systems, more than 400 brocade dresses, original music by his own orchestra and more than 50 tricks of illusion.
[1] Some of his most famous illusions that continue from his father's legend, include: X-Ray Eyes, where he solves mathematical equations, reads Shakespeare lines and even sketches on the spot, blindfolded.
Sorcar's signature trick is the use of light refraction to convey the impression that large scale objects have vanished.
He also made the Victoria Memorial disappear on the 300th anniversary of Calcutta, and vanished a train full of passengers before a large crowd at Bardhaman Junction, West Bengal, India in 1992.
The movie, a favorite among children and elders, features the charismatic screen presence of Sorcar Jr. and spectacular visual effects.
