Indian street magicians are facing declining audiences and uncertain futures, according to reports on the disappearing world of the performers.
Among them is Ishamuddin Khan, a 55-year-old magician who lives in Delhi and is known as one of India's famous street magicians. He can still perform the popular rope trick, but now spends much of his time on activities other than performing.
A changing future for street magic
Khan's experience reflects the uncertainty facing Indian street magicians as audiences decline. The reports describe a tradition whose future is increasingly unclear.
