Wikify?[edit]

I think the style and layout needs wikification —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.253.113 (talk) 19:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased and unprofessional[edit]

This article needs a major overhaul. Maybe we could bring in the original author (he seems to know what he's talking about) and get him to write in a cleaner style and an unbiased tone...

I totally agree and added a NPOV tag. If no one with knowledge of the subject takes up the task I will try to excise the worst of it from the article. 173.128.112.194 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:12, 15 October 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Highly disorganized article. Adds "modern" material in "ancient", it should be re-written. Bladesmulti (talk) 06:34, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

external links on Famous Magicians from India[edit]

There's currently a growing list of external links under the 'Famous Magicians from India' heading. I'd suggest this all be removed, in favor of a list of only indian magicians that already have an articles here on wikipedia. This is similiar to the way Stage illusions and List of magicians works.

What's this article about?[edit]

I can see an article which is a list of Indian magicians - which like our other lists of magicians, should only include those with articles. Or an article on Indian magic. But I'm not sure about this article. Dougweller (talk) 20:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Basically.........[edit]

it might help for me to dig around in some of my old copies of The Linking Ring....I know there're at least some great article about P.C. Sorcar (as a minimum). --Bddmagic (talk) 19:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which I'm still working on at the moment. --Bddmagic (talk) 01:53, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

....still pending. However, I will probably move this away from Magic Collab. of the week so we can move on to something else. --Bddmagic (talk) 03:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
