Our group was entertained by this wily rajasthani magician on a recent outing. He modestly claimed that there is no magic whatso ever in what he was showing us and it was all 'sleight of the hand' or 'Haath ki chamatkaari' as he said.
As things magically appeared and disappeared from no where, we tried really hard to spot whether they were coming /going from the folds on his sleeves or into his colourful turban.
We had to come away very baffled in the end , without learning any tricks of the trade :-)
Meanwhile, there was a camel meant for fun rides close by which was enjoying a short rest in between trips. I had the chance to examine at a close range. I found it to be a gentle animal curiously trying to understand what i was trying to do getting upclose with a camera.
I have never rode a camel , though i have had the amusement of watching people ride it for the first time. they are unusually tall and when they walk, which is usually with swinging up and down motion, you have to hold on to something , lest you suffera 10 feet fall !
