He wanted the government to set up a Jaadu Academy on the pattern of Lalit Kala Academy. He agreed that the presence of television has somewhat taken a toll on performing arts and magic shows are no exception to this, but still there are people who love to see magic shows and other performing arts.
He clarified that there is nothing supernatural in magic art, and it is like any other skill but is perhaps more difficult to learn as it combines several skill together. He said that magic is still very popular abroad where unlike India, people do not see it as a supernatural power but do appreciate the performance of magicians.
The magician launched his shows at Suraj Theater Sirsa by giving a breathtaking performance of riding a motorcycle blindfolded amidst busy city roads.
Shankar Samrat told Sirsa NEWS that he had sentimental attachment with SIRSA, as his birth place is Ellenabad, a subdivision of SIRSA. He said a part of the revenue from tickets shall go to CM Haryana Relief fund.
