From magic king to disco king

Gaborone businessman Mohammed Sobhan has come a long way from being a magic king to a disco king or nightclub mogul.

Sobhan, who is originally from Bangladesh, came to Botswana in 1986 and during that time he became famous for staging magic shows around the country.  He was known as "Magic King" by then, but proclaims that he is still Botswana's king of magic.

During the old days Sobhan used to raise funds for charitable organisations like the Botswana Red Cross Society through his magic shows. In 1987, Sobhan married a Motswana woman from Gabane.  The couple have been blessed with four children.  One of Sobhan's sons, Faisal is following in his father's artistic side, as he has become a musician.
