theater. This is being given by International Magicians Society

This Award was received by two Indian
Magicians. Mr.P.C.Sorcar ( West Bengal ) and Mr.Gopinath Muthukad ( Kerala,
2010)
The Merlin Award is presented to those magicians who have achieved the highest
level in their craft, both on the national and international stage.
The criteria that the voting members consider are talent, showmanship,
originality, skills, and above all the rare ability to entertain under any
conditions.
The Merlin Award statue design was carved and created in 1968 by young New York
University art student Carol Michaud.

There are three ways a magician can
receive the Merlin Award. One is to attend our Merlin Award banquet
dinner; this is by invitation only, after the recipient was voted to
receive the Merlin Award.
Two is to participate and win a Merlin Award
competition in different countries, which is organized by IMS with the
event and convention organizers.
And three is for us to travel to the magician’s
country and present the Merlin Award to them in their own country.
The Merlin Award is not only presented to the
magicians, they presented the award to other individuals who helped
create and shape magic and magicians. This includes illusion designers
and builders, magic producers/directors, magic convention organizers,
and performers who create a magical experience for their audience.
