A Touch of Impossible | Jewel Aich | MWB

He is a veteran of the Liberation War of 1971, he has devoted his life to charity, and he is a UNICEF National Ambassador. His creative side encompasses being an accomplished flutist as well as a visual artist. All of these things are indispensable aspects of his identity, but more than anything else, one thing springs to mind when the name Jewel Aich is mentioned: Magic. For over four and half decades, Jewel Aich has been front and center of the magic scene in Bangladesh. In fact, the word magician in this country might as well be replaced by a simple two-word synonym: Jewel Aich.

Ask a Bangladeshi person to name a compatriot magician, and ten times out of ten the answer, unless the respondent is being facetious, will be Jewel Aich. For the generation that came of age in the days before cable, internet, or widespread exposure, Jewel Aich was the very definition of magic. His TV specials, guest appearances, and stage shows punctuated day to day life in the country. What is miraculous though, is that in subsequent decades, his dominance of the national consciousness when it comes to magic has not faded in the least.
