Handshakes, photos, interviews, autographs and the other usual things followed after Underwater Escape was performed by Akash. It was held on Vizhinjam Harbour Thiruvananthpuram on 1st Oct. The harbour was filled with people who came from all over the city to watch the show. The VIP guests were Kovalam MLA George Mercier, Southern Range IG Arun Kumar Sinha, Police Commissioner Revatha Chandershekhar, ICGS Vizhinjam CO PK Mishra, Vizhinjam Panchayat President Latha Sugathan including various media person. Akash was handcuffed by an MLA who was one of the VIP guests.Akash was locked in chains and locks. Akash sat in a sack which was tied and sealed. Bag was dropped into a box. The box was then lowered down into water by a crane. The crane boarded a large boat so that box is dropped in a deeper side of sea. Box submerged into the sea. In few seconds we saw Akash swimming across the sea. He boarded a boat and landed on jetty. The box  was another center of attraction  after Akash as when it was brought it was in one piece and when opened all the locks and chains were as it is.Akash was the only thing missing from the box. It was fabulous and surprising. I still can't overcome the show's memory.

I'll call it true magic. Magic of Anand and Akash. Underwater Escape is one of stunts which is not attempted by any magicians. Many of the performers lost there life during the attempt. Akash is only one who attempted Underwater Escape twice. Second attempt of his was on 1st Oct at Vizhinjam Harbour Thiruvananthpuram. It was hot and sunny day.Many VIP guests like  Kovalam MLA George Mercier, Southern Range IG Arun Kumar Sinha, Police Commissioner Revatha Chandershekhar, ICGS Vizhinjam CO PK Mishra, Vizhinjam Panchayat President Latha Sugathan etc guests were also present there including various media personnel. Akash was handcuffed by the MLA, he was then locked by chains and locks. Then he sat in a bag.The bag was tied and sealed by Commissioner. The bag carrying Akash was dropped inside a box. The box was locked and tied up with ropes and chains. Soon the box was carried into the sea by crane which boarded a large boat. Box was submergerd into the sea. Within few seconds Akash surfaced out. He brought on the land by a boat. Everyone wanted a glimpse of Akash. Media was behind him for interviews. Then the biggest surprise was brought THE BOX . The box carried everything the locks and the chains. The only thing that was missing was Akash. That was amazing Isn't it.
If a blindfolded man can drive safely and follow all traffic rules why can't a man with vision drive

properly. If everyone follow traffic rules there will be no accidents. Facts show people die more no

roads due to accidents than in any war. Akash (son of Jadugar Anand) want to spread this message

through his blindfolded ride stunt. On 24th Sept. in Thiruvananthpuram I was one of the many

spectatores who gathered to watch Akash's blindfolded stunt. First Akash was blindfoled with with a

piece or cardboard, cotton and plaster of paris cut in the shape of an eye glass – held together

with a band of black cloth wrapped over. A hood was also placed over his face before starting off

his ride. He was applying brakes whereever necessary, slowing down to avoid collision with others

riders on roads and he was taking turn properly. I made me feel how bad driver I am. Atleast I

understood that Akash's stunt worthwhile.     

I am a journalist. I have attended many live performance shows including magic shows. 15 days back my channel gave me resposiblity to cover up the tour of Jadugar Anand and his team which also included his son Akash in Thiruvananthpuram Kerala. I took as normal assignment given to me by my channel. My assignment started by collecting information about Jadugar Anand and his previous shows.I read old newspapers, magazines, searched net and all the possible media. Information I gathered stunted me. It made me anxious to watch their shows. Before their shows a press conference was organised to provide all information about their upcoming shows. I was present there. Their actual show started on 21st Sept. Akash performed his Fire Escape show at Chandershekhar Nair Stadium. It was a wonderful show. He was all chained and locked but he successfully exited a burning hay stack in just 45 seconds. Second show was again a stunt. Akash performed his Blindfolded bike ride. It's basic purpose was to pass on message of safe driving. He drove like any driver who has vision or rather I say better than them.Next show was their inaugural magic show, which was on 26th Sept. at Karthika Thirunal hall. My other media friends were also present their to cover the show. It was a housefull show. Minister of sports, youth, port, etc Mr. Vijaya Kumar, Minister of Forest and housing Mr. Binoy Vishwam, two ADGP's, Trivandrum IG, Trivandrum Commisioner, Director of Health Services and lot of other guys were also included the guests list. I was impressed with the whole show but did like low motion vanishing of Statue of Liberty, Floating of one of the ADGP's daughter in the air, Elephant appearance on an empty stage, cutting of an assistant, exit and entry of character from a running TV screen and appreciation letter from Forest Minister which magically transformed into a letter of resignation and the minister had also donated all his property to Mr. Anand! Their magic shows continuing. Four big events of their tour are over now Underwater Escape remains he biggest event to held on 1st Oct at Vizhinjam Harbour. I am waiting anxiously to see Akash perform this stunt. It is very risky feat. Last year Akash had performed this stunt and was the first one as nobody performed in last 40 years. I have packed all my cameras and other stuff for 1st Oct.  

Sweet and amazing bike stunt in Thiruvananthpuram  On 24th Sept Akash  motorists by riding the motorbike blindfolded to stress the need for safe driving. I was waiting for friends to join them so we can go mall and have some fun. Accidently I saw Akash driving bike blindfolded.
The men from Jadugar Anand group rode on separate motorbikes flanked by volunteers.
Akash was blindfolded with a piece or cardboard, cotton and plaster of paris cut in the shape of an eye glass – held together with a band of black cloth wrapped over.Before starting, a hood was placed over Akash's face. Volunteers were riding along with blindfolded Akash. I was amazed how Akash was taking correct turns and curves. He even adjusted speed and applied brakes to avoid potholes and collision with other vehicles. Akash's basic purpose of these blindfolded rides it give message to drive safely.

Its a boring Sunday.. straight stuck here at home with just the internet for entertainment (yuck! im sick of TV),  , so I thought I would do some shopping.
 I entered the Shoping Mall which was filled with young boys and girls shopping. I bought a pair of faded blue jeans and two t-shirts and was returning back home when I saw a huge hoarding which portrayed the picture of Jadugar Anand and his team. I also came to know that Akash was performing a live Fire Escape show at Chandrashekhar Nair stadium (Thiruvananthpuram).Since it was on the way to my home I thought I would stop by and watch I entered the stadium which was filled with lots of people cheering Akash. Akash was tied with 45 chains and 45 locks. There was a huge hay stack placed in the center of the stadium. A crane picked up Akash from the ground and placed him in the hay stack. Then the team members of Jadugar Anand poured kerosine around the hay stack and set it on fire. But to my surprise within seconds Akash was out of the burning hay stack, free from chains and locks. I had a great opportunity to see the Fire Escape show live in front of my eyes. Then Akash was garlanded by many spectators and interviewed by the local channels. Akash holds a world record for doing the fire escape with 45 seconds. It all happened in just 40 - 45 seconds. What a stunt that was and what a sunday entertainment I had. After a long time my boring day Sunday become enjoyable and memorable day. I will never forget this day in my life.
