==Family==
His elder brother [[Manick Sorcar|Prafulla]] is an [[Electrical Engineer]] and younger brother Provas is a commercial pilot. He lost his father, [[Padma Shri]] award-winner Protul Chandra Sorcar ([[P.C. Sorcar]] Sr.) at the age of 58 due to a massive heart attack in Japan.

Sorcar married Jayashree, daughter of Sri Aroon Kumar Ghosh and Smt. Nilima Devi on 22 May 1972. The couple have three daughters, [[Maneka Sorcar|Maneka]], [[Moubani Sorcar|Moubani]] and [[Mumtaz Sorcar|Mumtaz]]. Maneka is also a magician. Moubani is a model and Mumtaz is a [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali]] film actress.

His mother Basanti died on 26 December 2009 while he was performing the magic show in [[Barasat]].

==Indrajal==
Sorcar's troupe, Indrajal, uses 48 tons of equipment, 75 artists, dozens of settings, 12 jadoo girls, psychedelic laser lighting systems, more than 400 brocade dresses, original music by his own orchestra and more than 50 tricks of illusion.

His earliest stage experience involved him assisting his father at Kolkata's New Empire in 1959. His first solo stage performance was held at Siliguri Railway Institute Hall in 1963.<ref name="time"/> Some of his most famous illusions that continue from his father's legend, include: X-Ray Eyes, where he solves mathematical equations, reads Shakespeare lines and even sketches on the spot, blindfolded. Water of India, where a magic jug keeps replenishing itself endlessly and by the end of the show, there's an entire bucket of water filled through that little jug. A dangerous trick where Sorcar Jr himself gets into a box and gets cut in half, assisted by his wife Jayashree. Upon the cut, they even remove any drapes or cover on the middle body, revealing a complete cut between his upper body and lower body.

Sorcar's signature trick is the use of light refraction to convey the impression that large scale objects have vanished. Past performances have included the "disappearance" of the [[Taj Mahal]] and the [[Indore – Amritsar Express]].<ref>Gupta, Subhrangshu: [http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20010415/spectrum/main5.htm Into the magic world of P.C. Sorcar], ''The Tribune'', 15 April 2001.</ref>

On 8 November 2000, Sorcar "vanished" the Taj Mahal for two minutes in Kachhpura in [[Agra]]. He also made the [[Victoria Memorial]] disappear on the 300th anniversary of Calcutta, and vanished a train full of passengers before a large crowd at [[Bardhaman Junction]], West Bengal, India in 1992.

Sorcar Jr has cycled at high speed blindfolded from Trafalgar square in London and created a record.
