Magicians of India, 1950s 

The Sparrow trick is lost forever. No magician can perform it anymore

Very worthwhile video on classic magic tricks of India. Very impressive examples.

You never can figure out the greatness of ancient India

At 3:47 he is picking the birds possibly wrapped in a cloth bag and quickly putting it in the basket before putting the basket on the ground. Before revealing the birds, he is taking the birds out of the bag under the sheet. Amazing skill. So quick.

This was part of Indian religious and knowledge system since ages .It was called INDRAJAALA in ancient India .Indra (Hindu God master of Illusion) Jaala ( Jaal = Net)Indra s net .One of the aspects of Hindu philosophy of entire the world being a “ maya” or illusion was being taught to the less educated by the roadside indrajaala practioners Certain castes and clans were holders of the secrets of various tricks and were scrupulously guarded Later (like the concept of zero )was copied and carried to Europe by the Arabs and Turks where it became used for entertainment Now it is lost amongst the original founders of this art

Old vlogging days 🔥🔥

There was a magic science in India at that time. Which goes from one person to another , i.e. from father to son. Now it is lost. How interesting and complicated these tricks.

the goat trick is amazing!!!

Extremely sad that an ancient wisdom and knowledge is lost forever . Perhaps the generations that followed were not worthy in spirit and mind to inherit or follow . And what lacked even further was the absence of integrity and discipline among the people . They didn't care to safeguard their traditions and secrets. Knowledge is such a PRECIOUS WEALTH that it should be safeguarded but sadly it was dispersed in the winds of Time and Political Change .

Thanks for these valuable videos which we have no other ways to see nowadays

No doubt at all that this is an Indian magician. Because, they are talking in Hindi language. When the magician pulling out yards and yards of cotton strings, right then, follow the Hindi voice talking at 1:35 onwards---the man is saying "Abhi isko nikalte hai", which means, "I am just now pulling it out". No question of Egypt or any other country. At the olden times, the people of India wore more traditional dresses than what now you see in modern India. Some were Muslims by religion.

Great ! Thank's a lot.

हमारे जितने भी पूर्वज है जो अंग्रेज़ो की गुलामी ओर उसके कुछ साल बाद कि ज़िन्दगी कैसे कटी उनको सबको मेरा प्रणाम 🙏

These are the Real Magicians.

The first part was in Egypt, it is written in the description...

How the hell that coin slides? Just blew my mind!

Do you have the originals of this footage? (Or, rather, the higher quality version). I run "The Busking Project" (google it), and would love to use this footage for good! Message me (you'll find our page on Facebook). Damn these not allowing of links in RU-vid comments!

I've seen some great conjuring in New Delhi back streets.

Superb !!

AWESOME

3:46 there comes the bird into the basket.

Fabulous 🙏🏿

Fine looking hindu ? Wtf man, it's like someone calling a British man a fine looking Christian

Amazing magic dudes man !!! Requiring so much skill to perform those tricks in the environment they did. It could be seen as a mixture of Indians and Arabs - although most of the times trick performers are without doubt Indians in this video.

lol the British army didn't like the Fakirs who first fought them.

Really enjoyed i like old india

nice !! sahib's voiceover was funny ;)

And now we are sending men into space Jai Hind bhailog.

Incredible India of the past century!

First video is people of Egyptian.. And 2 Indian👌

I am from Pakistan and there are some "magic tricks" from India here still intact. The most common among them being is what we call "snake trick" (yes they literally hypnotize a snake sometimes). Man our ancestors used to do crazy things.

From the beginning of video until 3:11 it is Egypt. After that it is India. Then the last few seconds it's Egypt again.

Coin is attached to hair string & one hand down & coin is up & change hand & so on. @3:47, after showing empty basket & toss the coin & then put birds that in the one bag which hide under his longi. Anyway, nice trick!

Damm it RU-vid, 10 years. .. ..

Nice...but the first vid. doesnt seem to be shot in India, from the attires of the men. It looks more like Egypt.

Indian magic *without rope trick* Impossible

yep....its India after 3:10

Sirkus kambing...hebat 👍 from🇮🇩

Wonder if he could take a long climb on a short rope.

Please find Nepal as well x

100%indian

Those in the beginning are Egyptian

Sach kahte ty log humra desh ek samay mai sirf jadu tona aur sanp sapero ka desh tha.

i once saw a magician eat razorblades and then vomit a shitload of needles afterwards. that was in Kenya.

its different vids joined together, some from Egypt some some india.

There were really talented people in those good times.

We could see this because of British Today they are much prosperous because of india 😎

Well if your standing directly behind someone and they make a bird or something appear infront of the audiance, you'll miss the entire show. So the Magician wasn't protecting his secerts at all, he was just trying to be nice:)

So the flute had a little ember in it.....

Amazing INDIA

Almost every one in this video would be dead by now .. RIP

At the beginning

Magic Goat..

This is what it is ... 0:00 to 3:10 is Egypt 3:11 to 8:03 is India 8:03 to 8:19 is Egypt

Even little girls ?.....wow

Old mysterious

I always notice old days people had no belly fat and they used to cover their heads

Till 90 atleast these things used to exist after that mobile came.

In the description it’s written Egypt 😂😂
