VANISH MAGIC BACK ISSUES Special Feature | Page 8

At age 20 Franz Harary was discovered by Michael Jackson when he sent a VHS tape to the pop star showing what he could offer the world famous singer. 30 years later Harary is one of the most famous, successful, and internationally acclaimed illusionists working. Today, virtually every illusion show in Las Vegas features some element of Harary’s magic design; he has established himself as the leading designer of illusions. In addition to his work as a designer, he also continues to star in his live show, “Mega Magic.” As an on-screen TV personality, Harary’s credits are equally massive, both in the U.S. and overseas. His TV series, Magic Planet runs in syndication globally, while his earlier series, Masters of Illusion, along with many of his 42 other television specials, remain alive on TV screens around the world. As a magic designer and producer, Harary’s work in his chosen field is without precedent – his innovations in the field of live, on-stage magical illusions remain unmatched. His client base has included a “Who’s Who” of celebrities, including Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson, David Copperfield, Cher, Madonna, Usher, and 8 Missy Elliott, and such major brands as Honda, Nissan, AT&T, GM, Pepsi, Sony and Toyota. In addition, his illusions have been featured within dozens of live, televised, worldclass events, including the Grammy Awards, the Academy Awards, and the Super Bowl. Currently, Harary is preparing for his most ambitious project yet – the September 2015 grand opening of Franz Harary’s House of Magic. This $40-million attraction will be permanently housed within the new Studio City Macau, a $3.2 billion hotel and casino resort complex located on the Cotai Strip in Macau, China (“Asia’s Las Vegas”.)
