Mangal Tara gave up his studies at the age of 13 to become a magician
Inspired by the famous American illusionist David Copperfield, the youngest child of Munjrals decided to be the greatest magician of the world. At the age of 13, Deepak Munjral, who loves to be called as Mangal Tara, fought with his family and give up his studies to turn his dream into reality. After three years of hard training, under the guidance of his guru—Senior Mangal—the youngest child of the family became the youngest magician of India.
Hailing from Rajasthan, a graduate in commerce, Deepak had always found himself alienated from his family business of marbles. "Business is not my cup of tea. When I decided to be a magician, I could not sleep," he says. What made him a rebel was a magic show of the Senior Mangal, shown in his city, Sriganganagar, in Rajasthan. His father never knew that after watching those magic tricks, his son would foresee his future. Like any other father, he wanted a secure life for his child. "Initially, my father was not convinced about my choice, but later on, he realized my desires," he said. With a glitter in his eyes, he says proudly that his father left their family business to supervise his worldwide magic shows.
On asking whether the magic shows attract the audience, he stated, "No doubt, television and film industry has overshadowed the simple means of entertainment but viewers relate themselves to the performers more in the live shows than in the reel programmes."
