Magic Planet
Magic Planet is a one-of-a-kind theme park dedicated entirely to the art of magic and illusion. Founded by the world-renowned magician Gopinath Muthukad in 2014, it aims to preserve and promote the traditional street magic of India while blending it with modern illusions. Spread over 1.5 acres, the park is designed to look like a mystical land where every corner holds a surprise. Unlike typical amusement parks with mechanical rides, Magic Planet focuses on performance-based entertainment and educational exhibits. It features various segments like the Street Magic Venue, the Cercle de Magique (the main theater), and the Museum of Magic. The park is also known for its social commitment, employing specially-abled children who perform incredible magic and music acts under the 'Different Art Centre' initiative. Visitors are greeted by magicians performing card tricks and levitation as they walk through the gates. The park provides a platform for traditional art forms like Gili Gili and the Indian Mango Trick, which are fast disappearing. It is an ideal destination for families with children, offering a mix of wonder, science, and history. The atmosphere is vibrant, with colorful structures and interactive displays that keep everyone engaged. Magic Planet has won several tourism awards for its unique concept and contribution to the performing arts. It is a place where science meets fantasy, making the impossible seem possible through skill and psychology.
