Few artistes telling the story of Hobu Chandrer Aine also pleased the audiences. Child artistes Tonoy, Rubel, Raju, Ahon presented a clown show that made the audience laugh extensively.
However, the magic show by magician Sharif was the item that entertained the children most. Sharif called on some children to volunteer on stage and with their help he presented some amazing magic tricks that were very impressive.
