When he passed away, the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi mourned saying, “... the death of Sorcar, has ended the glorious chapter of Indian Magic”

Magicians in Bangladesh are against the decision to demolish the ancestral home of the legendary Indian Magician PC Sorcar, and demanded that the government should protect the house, turning it into a museum and run school of magic.
