SORCAR, but cartoonists have made him the subject of their cartoons. There
is the Americam whose television set was cut in half as he was viewing
Sorcar sawing his woman. There is another one of Sorcar doing his disappearance
of a car act on the stage and coming out to find that his own car had disappeared.
Political cartoonists have shown him cutting the tongue od formar U.S.
Secretary of State...."

newspaper CARREFOUR, Paris, November 23, 1955, whhich shows Sorcar's great
mesmeric powers.
