THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It will be a different role for popular Malayalam film actor Mohanlal as he is all set to perform the 'most adventurous and dangerous' magic show on stage on April 27.

The event is a precursor to the International magic convention 'Vismayam 2008' slated for May 1 to 4 here.

"In films, there are retakes. But in the case of drama and magic shows, there is no retake and I pray to god that the show-- escape act titled Burning Illusion, becomes a success", Mohanlal told reporters here yesterday.

"I am taking magic lessons under master magician Gopinath Muthukad, the promoter of Magic Academy for the past one and half years and preparing myself for the act, Mohanlal said.

'I am fully aware of the risk factor involved in the act and I am confident that I will be able to do it successfully", he said.

The special item will have Mohanlal handcuffed and wrapped in chains with the keys in the hands of dignitaries watching the show. The actor will then be put inside a box which will be thrown into a ball of fire from where he has to escape.

Now with rigorous learning, Mohanlal has succeeded in keeping his mind stable even when his body is wrapped with long iron chains, Muthukad said. The act is organised by the Kerala State Youth Welfare Board, State Law Minister M Vijayakumar said.

About 1500 magicians, including street magicians from different parts of the country and abroad, would participate in the Magic Festival organised by state tourism department and Magic Academy.
For nearly three decades Mohanlal has mesmerized his fans on the screen by showing daredevil stunts.

"Counted as one of the most dangerous acts, the 'Burning Illusion' will find Mohanlal inspiring the youth to overcome debacles in life with sheer determination. He has been practising for a while to perfect it," said Gopinath Muthukadu, a magician.
