Celebrated illusionist PC Sarkar Jr was here in Dhaka after 31 long years. At a press conference at Hotel Purbani, the magician informed journalists that he did not come to perform this time. With a smile he said, 'I am here to discover this country and let you know that I belong here.'

The son of the legendary magician PC Sarkar, his family roots are in Ashikpur village of Tangail district. He was invited by the managing director of Neptune Advertising Limited, Rafiqul Islam. His wife Jayasri Sarkar accompanied him on this visit.

Although he was not given permission to stage a magic show, PC Sarkar Jr showed keen interest to perform in Bangladesh. He is particularly enthusiastic about performing in charity shows.

Rafiqul Islam informed that there is a possibility of arranging a magic show by PC Sarkar in December, provided the organisers get permission from the government.
