New Delhi Sep 1 (IANS) Popular stand-up comedian Papa CJ and psychological illusionist Karan Singh Magic will make the realms of comedy and magic meet for a new act to be performed as fundraisers for flood-affected Kerala.
They will perform My Trick Is Better Than Yours where they will try to outdo each other in a unique format conceptualised by Big Bad Wolf.
It is a part of the Papa CJ Happiness Project an ongoing initiative by the comedian to use his humour for good causes as he performs in support of them across the world.
For the Kerala fundraisers he will perform in New Delhi on Sunday and in Mumbai on September 9.

The comedian feels identifying the right partner to contribute to is important.
"They are much better informed about the situation on the ground and how best to utilise the funds to help those most in need " he added.
