Zenia waves her wand

Fourteen-year-old Zenia Bhumgara topped the junior category at Khulja Sim Sim, the national convention of magic organized by The Society of Indian Magicians in Bombay on June 5, 2011. Magicians from all over India and abroad participated in junior and senior categories of the mega magic event held in the city after a number of years, notes Mhelly Bhumgara, Zenia’s father, himself a magician, in an e-mail sent to Parsiana.
