Franz Harary has designed some of the most ground breaking illusions
in the world. Today Harary is largely credited for changing the look
of magic as an art form. He has even been known to do, what the
international press has dubbed "Mega Magic."

This is a form of illusion so large in scope and concept that it can
not be confined to a theatre or even stadium venue. Specifically, Mega
Magic is a ground breaking design approach developed by Harary to
create magical effects with massive objects, outdoors on location.

These effects are most often used by Harary not as part of his live
shows but as a promotional tool designed to generate a fantastic
amount of national visibility for a given event.

Beginning with the vanishing of a Las Vegas Hotel, to the
disappearance of a space shuttle, Harary has shown the world that
magic can work on a visual scale never before imagined.

Harary can make even some of the world's most recognizable buildings
and landmarks disappear. He made the Taj Mahal in India vanish into
thin air, moved Hawaii's Diamond Head volcano 2 miles out to sea. He's
even made the ever popular Good Year Blimp turn invisible and
teleported a famous pop star from Japan to Los Angeles.

Today Haray's Mega Magic can be seen prominently in his syndicated TV
series "Magic Planet." This thirteen part series follows Harary's
travels around the world and documents as he produced these massive
illusions by incorporating international land marks.

Other now iconic mega effects of Harary's include the invisibility of
London's Tower Bridge, making the world-famous Sphinx in Egypt vanish,
and causing the disappearance of a 50 story Tokyo skyscrapers. More
than anything, these record braking stunts all do one thing; produce a
great deal of awareness to an event regardless of where or when. And
that's MEGA!
