THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

One of the most striking aspects of Harary ’ s new show is the sense of community it fosters . Unlike traditional magic shows that rely solely on spectacle , this production emphasizes the bonds between the performers and the audience . Harary has brought together friends and collaborators from around the world — people he ’ s known for 40 to 50 years . These are not just colleagues ; they ’ re family .

“ These people are friends that literally live around the planet ,” Harary says . “ From Brazil to the States to Mexico to all over Asia , Southeast Asia , and into India . These are friends that I usually need to get on a plane to see . Now , we ’ re all together .”
