All of us at Inside Magic are big fans of Lance Burton and Tim is perhaps the biggest fan — some would say obsessive scary fan — of Melinda.

It is associated with Delhi in the same way the Golden Gate Bridge is associated with San Francisco. The Indian News services said several other magicians had attempted to vanish the historic monument but had failed. Mr. Pandey is well-known to his Indian Magic family as “the Professor of Magic.” And this feat seems in keeping with such a grand title.As soon as we receive the video, I will put it up for viewing from Inside Magic.
