Main Page It is a welcom sign that the world
known magician from Kerala, Gopinath Muthukad is coming

back in the 70s and 80s PC Sorcar (Jr) openly confronted
cheats like Yuri Geller and other spiritual cheaters.
Guruforum congratualtes Muthukad for his openness,
which we see missing among the educated intellectuals(?)
of Kerala and India today!

Fake spiritualists douse the spirit of
highly literate Kerala
[Editorial by Gopinath Muthukad in May 2009issue of
Vismayam Magical News]
It is disappointing to see that fraudulent God men are on
an increase even in a highly literate State like Kerala.
The State has recently seen these fake 'spiritualist' and
'swamis' misusing and mutilating the art of magic, for
their selfish gains. These conmen resort to magical art,
with the shrewd objective of substantiating their
baseless claims of being supernatural.
These men act as representatives of God and deceive the
society. Creating figurines, divine statuettes and holy
ash from thin air, producing oily secretions and holy
powder from photos and idols and vanishing of objects
offered to God, are among their usual tricks. All these
are nothing, but pure magic tricks that can be performed
with enough practice.
Prediction and fortune telling are also nothing, but
legerdemain. When one predicts a long list of mundane
troubles of another man, quite naturally, a few among
them will prove to be correct. Because all over the
world, earthly life has gifted a set of common problems
– mental and societal – for the humanity. The
listeners of such predictions, usually affixes the right
ones in their minds and forgets the wrong part. Devotees
normally do not question the fake 'spiritualists'. This
mass psychology is well exploited by these tricksters.
Those who suffer from mental agonies and those who are in
search of a way to vent their burning confession of a
guilt in life, irregardless of their position in the
society, fall easy preys in front of these conmen. Later
they become believers and stanch devotees.
Saffron and other symbols of various religions, for these
God men, are camouflage that helps them elude the eyes of
the society. Amassing money is among their priorities.
They easily blindfold the eyes of the society by
rendering a little social charity using a minute part of
their mammoth wealth.
Magic Academy admires the media and the Government of
Kerala for their recent bold initiatives by that have led
to the unmasking of such frauds. This gives us hope and
testifies that the power to discriminate between the
virtue and the evil is still there.
The Academy re-dedicates its unceasing war against
superstitions and pledge to expose the real face of these
fake 'spiritualists'. We will remain with the people who
want to unveil the ugly God men who misuse magical basics
for misguiding the public.
Lashing the evil with the magic batton
Thiruvananthapuram: ‘Divineness’ behind the
pet demonstrations of certain God men were trembled down,
when Gopinath Muthukad’s Yukti Jaalam logically
proved that such ‘miracles’ are nothing more
than pure magic tricks. If you have the will to practice
magic, you can do these ‘God men’ specials with
much ease. “I do these tricks to entertain you,
whereas so called God men do it for fulfilling their
selfish motives”, a confident magician explained to
the keen young bloods.
Demonstrations
When Mr. Muthukad pulled out statuettes from his
mouth, unmasked was one of the popular supernatural
demonstrations of certain human Gods. More of such pet
performances by the social thieves, were exposed as clear
legerdemain. This include producing secretions from
photos and idols, catching holy ash from air and making
predictions on one’s life. Yukti Jaalam proved each
and every miracles performed by so called God men as
magic that could be learned by anyone who has a will to
practice.
Timely response
The magician’s lecture-cum-demonstraion was
organised by the Kerala State Youth Welfare Board to
reveal the spiritual frauds and to mould the youth with
an ability to identify such social cheaters.
Recent revelations on the mushrooming human Gods, have
brought a shame for the highly literate and civil State,
Kerala. The taint only furthered when it was identified
that many of these spiritualists are criminals and social
offenders who use spiritualism as a mask.
Beginning from Kollam on 6th June, the Yukti Jaalam
programmes were held in every district before it marked a
euphoric finish at Kasaragod.
