Franz Harary

On our stage at:

2012 FISM Italy 2015 United Magicians for the World 2020 2021

Franz Harary is one of the most spectacular illusionists in the history of magic, renowned for designing and performing illusions entirely of his own creation. His show "Imagine Nation", the largest touring illusion show in the world, has filled stadiums and arenas across Asia, setting attendance records from 40,000 people in Peru to 47,000 in Indonesia.

His career took off when he sent a videotape of his illusions to Michael Jackson, who had him design all the illusions for the Victory Tour. Since then he has created effects for concerts by Janet Jackson, Cher, Madonna, Alice Cooper, Shania Twain and many others, as well as for theme parks such as Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. On television he has starred in 27 specials worldwide and hosted the series "Masters of Illusion".

His mega illusions are legendary: he vanished NASA's Space Shuttle at Kennedy Space Center, a 52 storey skyscraper in Tokyo and the Sphinx in Cairo, and levitated the Taj Mahal before 400 million viewers. He was our guest at the Masters of Magic Convention 2012, at the FISM World Championship of Magic in Rimini 2015, at United Magicians for the World 2020 and at the Masters of Magic Convention 2021.
